Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence inactive against Vikings

The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without quarterback Trevor Lawrence on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings due to a left shoulder injury.

Lawrence suffered the injury in the first half of last weekend’s 28-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles when he was hit while diving headfirst during a run. This will be only the second game Lawrence has sat out since the Jaguars drafted him first overall in 2021.

Mac Jones, whom the Jaguars acquired via trade in March, will start against the Vikings. CJ Beathard, whom the Jaguars signed off the Miami Dolphins’ practice squad on Wednesday, will be Jones’ backup.

The question now is whether Lawrence will return for next Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions or whether the team will give him another week of rest with the bye to Jacksonville the following week.

The Jaguars will sign wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and have Gabe Davis, both of whom are active after being listed as questionable. Davis is dealing with a shoulder injury and Thomas is dealing with a chest injury.
