Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence dealing with shoulder sprain following Week 16 loss
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence suffered a sprain in his throwing shoulder in the team's Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
What It Means:
Lawrence's sprain is to his throwing shoulder, but the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it is not believed to be a major issue. Still, it sounds like Lawrence could be forced to miss the team's Week 17 game against the Carolina Panthers as they push for a playoff berth.
Lawrence has taken a beating this season; he just barely cleared the NFL's concussion protocols in time to suit up this past Sunday and was already dealing with a painful ankle injury before that. Even with the Jaguars close to a second-straight playoff spot, the third-year quarterback could likely benefit from taking a week off.
