Jaguars Trevor Lawrence | Pre-Game Workout to Determine Playing Status

Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence's status for Sunday's game against the Saints remains uncertain as he works out to determine if he can play.

The question on everyone's mind is whether or not quarterback Trevor Lawrence will be taking the field for the Jacksonville Jaguars when they face off against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Thankfully, we may be getting closer to finding out the answer.

According to reliable source Adam Schefter, the Jaguars are planning to put Trevor Lawrence through a workout before Thursday Night Football to determine his availability for the game against the Saints. This decision is crucial as Lawrence suffered a knee sprain and it is important to assess his condition before making a final call.

It is expected that the decision will be made just before game time. If Trevor Lawrence is unable to play, C.J. Beathard will take over as the starting quarterback, as confirmed by Schefter himself on Twitter.

The injury occurred during the Jaguars' 37-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Lawrence left the game after rolling out and being sacked with a little over 3 minutes remaining. However, he assured reporters after the game that he was feeling fine.

Despite this setback, Trevor Lawrence has had an impressive career thus far. As the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft, he has started in all 42 games he has played. The only other notable injury he has dealt with was a toe injury that briefly sidelined him during a game against the Detroit Lions in Week 13 of last season.

This season, Lawrence has been performing exceptionally well. He has completed 67.1% of his passes for 1,439 yards, with seven touchdowns and three interceptions. Additionally, he has gained 147 rushing yards on 33 carries.

In the days leading up to the game, Lawrence's participation in practice has been limited. He was seen wearing a brace on his left knee during practice on Tuesday, and his activity level remained restricted on Wednesday.

Jaguars offensive coordinator Press Taylor expressed the need to trust the training staff and make decisions that prioritize Lawrence's health and the team's chances of winning. He emphasized the importance of open communication and involving everyone in the decision-making process.

As fans eagerly await the final word on Trevor Lawrence's availability, it is clear that the Jaguars are taking every precaution to ensure his well-being. The outcome of this decision will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the team's performance against the Saints.
