Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Named Week 1 starter
Jacksonville named Lawrence its starting quarterback for Week 1 against Houston, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The first overall pick hasn't exactly knocked it out of the park this preseason, but neither has Gardner Minshew, who presumably needed a huge summer to make his case for the Week 1 start, if he even had a chance at all. Lawrence has completed 20 of 32 passes (62.5 percent) for 184 yards (5.8 YPA) through two preseason games, with three sacks, no touchdowns and no interceptions. He's carried just once for nine yards, but his work in college suggests he should run for at least a few hundred yards and multiple TDs per season in the NFL. Lawrence will start his career with a soft matchup, traveling to Houston to face the AFC South's other rebuilding team.
