Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence suffered a left knee injury within the 37-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, and whilst it’s reportedly being described as a knee sprain that’s not thought to be important, his standing for Thursday evening in opposition to the New Orleans Saints is uncertain at this level, per ESPN.Â
Lawrence was once injured on a sack past due within the fourth quarter, and backup quarterback C.J. Beathard changed him to kneel out the clock. It’s unlucky the Jaguars have a brief week in Week 7, however head trainer Doug Pederson has described his quarterback as being “day-to-day.”Â
Pederson pointed to remaining yr, the place Lawrence was once injured vs. the Detroit Lions, and was once a restricted player within the subsequent week’s observe. However, Lawrence suited up the next Sunday in opposition to the Tennessee Titans, and threw 3 touchdowns en path to a 14-point victory.Â
“If Trevor’s sore,” Pederson mentioned, via ESPN. “We’ve done this before. We did last year. C.J. took the Wednesday reps and then Trevor took the rest of the week and was ready to play in the game.”
Lawrence hasn’t ignored a recreation in his 3 years {of professional} soccer. In six contests this yr, the previous No. 1 general select is 4-2, and has thrown for 1,439 yards, seven touchdowns and 3 interceptions. His 239.8 passing yards per recreation rank No. 11 within the NFL.
Now, the Jags flip their consideration to a top-five protection within the Saints. How Lawrence progresses all the way through the week in observe will probably be one thing to look at. Beathard would most likely get started beneath middle within the match Lawrence can not go well with up.Â
