The Jacksonville Jaguars are planning to play quarterback Trevor Lawrence in Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns, sources confirmed late Saturday. Still, the quarterback will need to be evaluated during pregame warmups in order to confirm his eligibility.
Lawrence incurred a high ankle sprain six days ago during the Jags’ 31-34 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. Jaguars coach Doug Pederson provided an update on Lawrence’s status on Friday, stating that the quarterback was “feeling good” and had “moved around a little bit” at Thursday’s practice session.
While this injury usually sidelines players for weeks, Lawrence will hope to continue his streak of never missing a game due to injury throughout his high school, college, and NFL career.
While Lawrence remains officially listed as questionable for the Browns game, backup quarterback C.J. Beathard is prepared to start should the first-choice quarterback show any signs of ineligibility during the pre-game warmups.
