Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Officially inactive for Week 10
Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.As anticipated, Lawrence will be sidelined for just the second time in his four-year career, paving the way for Mac Jones to make his first start with the Jacksonville Jaguars, while C.J. Beathard serves as the team's backup quarterback. Lawrence was a limited participant in practice all week while tending to an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, an injury he sustained on a run in last week's loss to the Eagles. Though the injury is to Lawrence's non-throwing shoulder, it's considered serious enough to threaten his availability beyond Week 10 and potentially require surgery. For now, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays the Jaguars' plan is to have Lawrence treat the injury through rest and rehab, but the quarterback could receive further opinions on the matter. The Jaguars play next Sunday in Detroit before heading into a Week 12 bye, so it wouldn't be surprising if Lawrence ended up missing two games due to the injury.

Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Nursing AC joint sprain, will miss Week 10
Trevor Lawrence is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but he's not in line to play and could be at risk of missing the rest of the season due to a serious AC joint sprain to his left (non-throwing) shoulder, Dianna Russini and Mike Silver of The Athletic report.Jacksonville listed Lawrence as a limited practice participant throughout the week while he managed the injury, but Tom Pelissero of NFL Network notes that Mac Jones handled all the first-team reps in practice and is on track to make his first start with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Whether Jones starts any games beyond Sunday is still to be determined, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network notes that Lawrence is weighing his options while he recovers from a "significant" injury that he suffered on a hit during the second quarter of last week's loss to the Eagles. Though Lawrence didn't miss any snaps in that game, he'll be officially made inactive ahead of Sunday's game before the Jaguars determine his next steps after he receives further medical opinions on his injury. Rapoport notes that surgery is a possibility for Lawrence, though the Jaguars' current plan is to have him treat the injury through rest and rehab. Lawrence previously underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in the same shoulder following his junior season at Clemson prior to being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Not expected to play in Week 10
Trevor Lawrence (shoulder), who is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota, isn't likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.The report comes after Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Lawrence was "trending toward not playing." Per Schefter, it's uncertain at this point if Lawrence will return for next Sunday's game with Detroit, or if Jacksonville will instead opt to give him another week off with the team's bye following one week later. With Lawrence likely out at least this Sunday, Mac Jones is in line to make his first start of the campaign.

Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Trending in wrong direction
Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but coach Doug Pederson said Friday that the quarterback "is trending toward not playing," according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com.Lawrence hurt his left, non-throwing shoulder during this past Sunday's loss in Philadelphia but didn't miss any of the Jacksonville Jaguars' 54 offensive snaps. Pederson revealed the injury to be soreness Wednesday, and Lawrence followed it up with three consecutive capped practices this week. On Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Lawrence was unlikely to be available Sunday, and Pederson's comments back up that report. If Lawrence ultimately is ruled out or is deemed inactive about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Mac Jones will be Jacksonville's starting QB, with C.J. Beathard serving as the backup.

Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Trending toward not playing
Speaking with the media Friday, coach Doug Pederson confirmed Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is trending toward not playing Sunday against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Pederson said Mac Jones will start if Lawrence is indeed ruled out. The team also signed C.J. Beathard off the Dolphins' practice squad earlier in the week to serve as the likely backup. Pederson wouldn't speculate on possible surgery for Lawrence or a trip to injured reserve, but things could be trending that direction if Jacksonville's season continues to circle the drain.

Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Remains limited, unlikely for Week 10
Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.Though Lawrence was able to practice in a limited capacity for the second day in a row, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Thursday that the signal-caller is unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Vikings while he continues to seek treatment options for ongoing discomfort in his non-throwing shoulder. Head coach Doug Pederson didn't address Lawrence's Week 10 status Thursday, but the Jacksonville Jaguars' signing of C.J. Beathard to the 53-man roster earlier in the week would seemingly support the notion that Lawrence isn't tracking toward playing Sunday. Mac Jones has served as the Jaguars' top backup this season and would be in line to start Sunday if Lawrence ends up sitting out.

Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Unlikely to play Week 10
Trevor Lawrence is considered unlikely to play Sunday against the Vikings while he continues to receive treatment for his left shoulder injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Lawrence appeared to sustain the injury to his non-throwing shoulder during a rushing attempt in the second quarter of this past Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles. Though he didn't end up missing any snaps in Week 9, Lawrence was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, and Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson was unwilling to commit to the quarterback being ready to play against the Vikings. While the Jaguars haven't yet provided an update on Lawrence's status following Wednesday's practice, Rapoport suggests that the team is preparing to be without its franchise signal-caller for at least one game. Jacksonville signed C.J. Beathard off Miami's practice squad Tuesday to bolster their depth at quarterback, but Mac Jones will be in line to start Sunday's contest if Lawrence ends up being ruled out.

Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Nursing sore shoulder
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that Trevor Lawrence is dealing with a sore left shoulder and will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.Lawrence is tending to the injury to his non-throwing shoulder after getting banged up on a hit during the first half of this past Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles. The issue didn't result in Lawrence missing any snaps, but with the signal-caller's practice reps being capped to begin Week 10 prep, Pederson said that it was too early to say that Lawrence will start this Sunday's game against the Vikings, per DiRocco. The Jaguars signed C.J. Beathard off the Dolphins' practice squad earlier Wednesday to provide insurance at quarterback behind Lawrence, though Pederson noted that Mac Jones remains the top backup and would start if Lawrence can't play.

Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: May be hurting heading into Week 10
Trevor Lawrence admitted after Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles that he was banged up and feeling sore during the game, and his activity in practice in Week 10 could be affected as a result, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Lawrence was examined at halftime after taking a hit on a run earlier in the contest, but he didn't miss a snap in the loss and finished with 16 completions on 31 attempts for 169 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while carrying five times for eight yards and two scores. Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson is expected to shed more light on Lawrence's health when he speaks to the media later Wednesday, but Jacksonville's signing of C.J. Beathard off the Dolphins' practice squad could point to some level of concern about Lawrence's availability heading into this Sunday's game against the Vikings. Mac Jones has served as Lawrence's backup all season and would presumably draw the starting nod in Week 10 if Lawrence is unable to play versus Minnesota.

Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence: Short TDs save poor passing day
Trevor Lawrence completed 16 of 31 pass attempts for 169 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing five times for eight yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.Lawrence had a rough day in terms of passing the football, but two short rushing scores helped alleviate what would have been a poor fantasy day. The 2021 first-overall pick continued to provide mixed results under head coach Doug Pederson as the Jacksonville Jaguars dropped to 2-7. Lawrence's managers will hope for better results against a middling Vikings defense next Sunday.
