Upgrades to full practice
Lawrence (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Lawrence was a surprise inclusion on the Jaguars' initial Week 15 injury report after he was a limited participant Wednesday due to an ankle issue, but his ability to take full reps a day later clears up any lingering doubt about his availability for this Sunday's game versus the Jets. During the Jaguars' ongoing four-game winning streak, Lawrence has completed 65 of 109 pass attempts (59.6 percent) for 882 yards (8.1 YPA), eight touchdowns and four interceptions while adding 79 yards and a…read more

Limited in practice Wednesday
Lawrence (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Lawrence's practice participation will be worth monitoring Thursday and Friday, though there is little indication at this point that his availability for Sunday's game against the Jets is in jeopardy. Per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, Lawrence didn't have any kind of wrap on his ankle when addressing the media Wednesday. The 2021 first overall pick has looked comfortable running first-year head coach Liam Coen's offense in recent weeks, as Lawrence has thrown for at least 229 yards with multiple…read more

Looks good in easy win
Lawrence completed 17 of 30 passes for 244 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts. He added 16 yards on four carries.
Analysis: The Jaguars had a relatively easy win after Daniel Jones (Achilles) exited Sunday's game, but Lawrence managed to get his numbers early. He completed four passes of at least 25 yards, three of which came in the first two quarters, while also tallying touchdown throws of 14 and seven yards. While he attempted only 10 passes in the second half, Lawrence managed his third consecutive multi-score game while also reaching at least 225 passing yards for the third consecutive contest.

Efficient in win
Lawrence completed 16 of 27 passes for 229 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Titans. He added three rushes for 25 yards.
Analysis: Lawrence and the Jaguars pounced on the Titans on back-to-back possessions early in the contest, both of which concluded with Lawrence delivering passing scores. On Jacksonville's second offensive possession, he delivered a 50-yard deep pass to Jakobi Meyers and then found Meyers for a three-yard score three plays later. The Titans fumbled the ensuing kickoff, which set up a Lawrence to Brenton Strange touchdown connection from 21 yards away. Jacksonville didn't need to push much from there…read more

Mixed bag in OT win Sunday
Lawrence completed 18 of 30 pass attempts for 256 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions while rushing five times for 29 yards and a lost fumble in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against Arizona.
Analysis: Lawrence managed to overcome a season-high four turnovers in order to secure victory for his club Sunday. The 25-year-old matched his previous high of three touchdown passes set back in Week 2 against the Bengals, which was also the only other game this season during which he has thrown multiple interceptions. The first-overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft continues to produce inconsistent fantasy results in his fifth season as a pro. Lawrence has thrown 14 touchdowns to 11 interceptions…read more

Posts two total TDs in win
Lawrence completed 14 of 22 passes for 153 yards with a touchdown and an interception while rushing five times for nine yards and another score in the Jaguars' 35-6 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Lawrence put together another lackluster stat line, but he leveraged the strong work of his ground game and defense for an easy win. Both of the fourth-year signal-caller's touchdowns came from one yard out, as he recorded a short scoring run with just under eight minutes remaining in the third quarter and had a short scoring toss to Tim Patrick early in the final period. Lawrence has now been under 200 passing yards in consecutive games and on four occasions overall this season, and he'll next…read more

Just one TD in Sunday's loss
Lawrence completed 13 of 23 passes for 158 yards and a touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 36-29 loss to the Texans. He added 35 rushing yards on five carries.
Analysis: The fifth-year quarterback had a tough day against a fierce Houston defense, getting sacked five times and committing two fumbles, losing one of them. Lawrence has thrown for multiple TDs only twice in nine games to begin the season, and on the year he has a rough 10:7 TD:INT. He faces another stingy opponent in Week 11 against the Chargers, a matchup that could be even tougher if Brian Thomas (ankle) remains sidelined.

Scores two rushing TDs in OT win
Lawrence completed 23 of 34 pass attempts for 220 yards and one interception while taking nine carries for 24 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's 30-29 overtime win over Las Vegas.
Analysis: Lawrence overcame an illness in order to suit up and lead his team to a thrilling victory in extra time Sunday. The 2021 first-overall pick failed to throw a touchdown pass for the second time this season. Unlike his performance against Houston in Week 3, Lawrence was able to reward managers with his second multi-score game on the ground this season. The Clemson product has seen his production from the pocket take a hit in 2025, as he is currently sporting a completion percentage worse than the…read more

Feels ill, but will play
Jacksonville announced that Lawrence is dealing with an illness, but his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders is unaffected, and he remains on track to start, J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Analysis: While fantasy managers who are planning on using Lawrence in Week 9 lineups can probably still feel comfortable doing so, the fact that he's under the weather could result in him playing at something less than 100 percent health coming out of the Jaguars' Week 8 bye. In addition to battling the illness, Lawrence will have to make do without one of his top pass catchers in rookie wideout/cornerback Travis Hunter (knee), who was surprisingly moved to injured reserve Friday and will now miss at…read more

Big volume in Sunday's rout
Lawrence completed 23 of 48 passes for 296 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-7 loss to the Rams. He added 18 rushing yards on two carries.
Analysis: The Jaguars were staring at a 21-0 deficit at halftime, so Lawrence was forced to put the ball in the air most of the second half. The volume led to a season high in passing yards for the fifth-year QB, as well as Travis Hunter's first career TD reception, but it also led to Lawrence being sacked seven times. He'll take a mediocre 9:5 TD:INT through seven games into Jacksonville's Week 8 bye.

Tormented by pressure in loss
Lawrence completed 27 of 42 passes for 258 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding three rushes for nine yards in the Jaguars' 20-12 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Analysis: Lawrence's final passing line with more than adequate, but he also took seven sacks and finished with an ugly 46.6 QBR for the afternoon. The 2021 first overall pick did continue to cultivate his connection with No. 1 receiver Brian Thomas, who he hit on eight occasions for 90 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown late in the first quarter. Lawrence hit Tim Patrick from 26 yards out early in the fourth quarter for his other TD toss, the quarterback's first multi-touchdown-pass tally since Week…read more

Three total TDs in win
Lawrence completed 18 of 25 passes for 221 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding 10 carries for 54 yards and two more scores in the Jaguars' 31-28 win over the Chiefs on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Lawrence put the Jaguars on his shoulders for the majority of the night despite a critical early second-quarter fumble at Kansas City's one-yard line, helping spearhead a comeback from an early 14-0 deficit with a three-yard touchdown pass to Parker Washington and the first of two rushing scores to knot the game back up just before the halfway point of the third quarter. Lawrence then saved his best for the most important part of the contest, leading a seven-play, 60-yard game-winning march…read more

Manages team to victory
Lawrence completed 21 of 31 pass attempts for 174 yards and a touchdown while taking seven carries for seven yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Lawrence played the role of game manager Sunday, protecting the football with safe, short throws en route to Jacksonville's third win of the season. It was still a lackluster showing from a fantasy perspective after the fifth-year pro failed to score multiple touchdowns for the third time in four starts this year. Lawrence has the Jaguars atop the AFC South, but his play does not inspire much optimism in fantasy circles heading into a tough matchup against Kansas City next Monday.

Continues scuffling in Week 3 win
Lawrence completed 20 of 40 passes for 222 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing twice for nine yards in the Jaguars' 17-10 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: Lawrence averaged just 5.6 yards per attempt while failing to throw a touchdown for the first time in three games this season. The 2021 first overall pick spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers overall, and he leveraged another impressive performance by his defense to help the Jaguars garner their second win of the season. To date, Lawrence has concerningly completed just 55.8 of his pass attempts in head coach Liam Coen's typically QB-friendly offense, and he draws another…read more

Pair of picks in Week 2 loss
Lawrence completed 24 of 42 passes for 271 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while adding two rushes for four yards in the Jaguars' 31-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Lawrence had the Jaguars in position for a win until the Bengals managed to rally behind Jake Browning on a 15-play, 92-yard touchdown drive. Lawrence put together an impressive performance overall that included touchdown passes to Dyami Brown (nine yards), Bhayshul Tuten (eight yards) and Travis Etienne (11 yards), but he also short-circuited two Jacksonville drives in the first half with interceptions at the Bengals' three-yard line and his own 34-yard line. The two plays would help lead to a…read more

Quiet in Week 1 win
Lawrence completed 19 of 31 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown with one interception in Sunday's 26-10 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: It was an odd game that saw the Jaguars take a 20-3 lead into halftime, but only after a lengthy weather delay in the middle of the second quarter due to lightning. Whether that delay impacted Lawrence's performance is tough to say, but he didn't need to do much in the second half. New coach Liam Coen led Baker Mayfield to a career-best season with the Buccaneers in 2024, and while he could eventually do the same for Lawrence, the jury is very much still out. Lawrence will look to deliver…read more

Next game will be Week 1
With coach Liam Coen noting Thursday that the Jaguars' starters won't play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Dolphins, per Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union, Lawrence's next game action will occur in Week 1 against the Panthers.
Analysis: As the team's regular-season opener approaches, the Jaguars will focus on keeping Lawrence -- who was limited to 10 games last season -- healthy and ready to face Carolina. As long as he can avoid injuries, Lawrence is bounce-back candidate this year while working with Coen, who's coming off a successful season as Tampa's Bay's offensive coordinator. In addition to ascending second-year wideout Brian Thomas, Travis Hunter, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, provides Lawrence with…read more

Fumble, TD on Sunday's two drives
Lawrence completed eight of 10 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-17 preseason tie against the Saints. He also rushed once for no gain and lost a fumble.
Analysis: Lawrence and the starters played two drives and moved the ball well. The first possession got down to the 11-yard line prior to Lawrence's fumble on a botched handoff attempt, but Lawrence bounced back by capping the second drive with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Parker Washington. Jacksonville's final preseason tune-up before the regular season will come Saturday in Miami.

Starters playing Sunday
Jaguars coach Liam Coen said Saturday that Lawrence and the starters will suit up for Sunday's preseason game against the Saints.
Analysis: Lawrence and the starters will suit up for action in a second consecutive preseason contest, after he completed six of seven passes for 43 yards in his lone drive against Pittsburgh in last week's exhibition opener. However, with Travis Hunter (upper body) having been held out of practice Friday, the rookie first-round pick's availability remains uncertain. With or without Hunter on Sunday, though, Lawrence should have plenty of pass-catching weapons to utilize, with all of Brian Thomas, Dyami…read more

Leads one drive in preseason opener
Lawrence completed six of seven passes for 43 yards in Saturday's 31-25 preseason loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Lawrence played Jacksonville's first offensive possession and led the offense to a field goal. He was accurate but threw exclusively short passes, with his longest completion going for only 11 yards. Lawrence played with the entire first-team offense, and it's unclear if coach Liam Cohen plans for his starting quarterback to retake the field during the rest of the preseason.

In line to play Saturday
Coach Liam Coen announced Thursday that the Jaguars plan to play their starters (including Lawrence) versus the Steelers in Saturday's preseason opener, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Coen indicated that getting Lawrence and the Jaguars' key healthy players some game reps this weekend would be beneficial, as they transition to the team's new offensive scheme. That said, Coen didn't specify how long Lawrence would stay in Saturday's game before giving way to some combo of fellow QBs Nick Mullens, John Wolford and Seth Henigan.

Declares himself 100 percent
Lawrence (shoulder) said Wednesday that he's 100 percent healthy entering training camp, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official website reports.
Analysis: "I feel really good," Lawrence said "It's the best I felt in a long time physically." Lawrence played in just 10 regular-season games last season due to a concussion and left (non-throwing) shoulder injury, the latter which required surgery. Lawrence was taking it slow during the offseason program, but he's back to full health and rejuvenated in new coach Liam Coen's offense. The Jaguars return Brian Thomas as the alpha WR1 and used the No. 2 overall pick on Travis Hunter. Lawrence is an…read more

Wearing sleeve on throwing arm
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Tuesday at the start of mandatory minicamp that Lawrence (shoulder) is wearing a sleeve on his right arm due to "general soreness" related to the amount of throwing he did at voluntary OTAs last week, James Palmer of 104.3 The Fan reports.
Analysis: Coen said Lawrence "feels good" and indicated that any limitations the quarterback faces at minicamp are maintenance related, as he continues to work his way back from last December's surgery on his left, non-throwing shoulder. Lawrence reportedly looked sharp at OTAs while building chemistry with his new-look wide receiver corps, which added 2025 second overall pick Travis Hunter and veteran free agent Dyami Brown in the offseason.

Looking sharp at OTAs
Lawrence (shoulder) has impressed coaches throughout OTAs and has been a quick adapter of new head coach Liam Coen's offensive scheme, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Analysis: Coen singled out Lawrence's "quick decisions" in 11-on-11 red-zone work as praiseworthy, also noting that the fifth-year pro "has done a nice job with his footwork," an area of emphasis for the new offensive scheme. As Oehser notes, the 2021 first overall pick is currently learning his third offensive system in five seasons, but there's reason to be confident in Coen's scheme being the best fit of the bunch for Lawrence, given his track record as offensive coordinator for the Rams and…read more

Lawrence (shoulder) will be limited during the spring as he continues to recover from AC joint surgery, Mike DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Lawrence underwent surgery on his left, non-throwing shoulder Dec. 17 and was in a sling until late January. While the Jaguars plan to bring him along slowly, he's expected to be fully cleared for the start of training camp later this summer. "We're optimistic that we'll get there in terms of where we need to go," coach Liam Coen said Wednesday. "He'll be on a pitch count for those things.

Shoulder surgery completed
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Lawrence underwent surgery Tuesday to repair the AC joint sprain in his left shoulder, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Surgery for Lawrence's sprained non-throwing shoulder was always on the docket after the Jaguars placed him on injured reserve Dec. 4, but the quarterback waited until he cleared concussion protocol before having the procedure. Now that he's no longer dealing with concussion symptoms from the hit to head he took from the Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair in the Jaguars' Week 13 loss, Lawrence will turn his focus to rehabbing and strengthening the shoulder. Pederson said he expects Lawrence to be a full…read more

Shoulder surgery to wait
Lawrence needs to clear concussion protocol before undergoing surgery on his sprained AC joint, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Regardless of the exact timing of surgery, Lawrence won't play again this season and should have plenty of time to recover before Week 1 of 2025. It's his left, non-throwing shoulder that will be operated on, which means there shouldn't be much impact for next season even if the process is delayed a few weeks. Jacksonville's roster and/or coaching staff may look very different by the time Lawrence is healthy.

Out for season
Lawrence (concussion) is expected to miss the rest of the season, as he's slated to undergo surgery to repair the AC joint sprain in his left shoulder in the next few weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lawrence sat out Weeks 11 and 12 due to the shoulder injury, and in his return to action in this past Sunday's loss to Houston, he was on the receiving end of a vicious hit from Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair in the second quarter, suffering a concussion in the process.

Analysis: Lawrence remains in the NFL's concussion protocol after having exited this past Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans.

The 2-10 Jaguars are in last place in the AFC South and all but eliminated from postseason contention, so it may make sense for the team to take a cautious approach with Lawrence, who also is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his non-throwing shoulder that could require offseason surgery.

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.
Analysis: Lawrence hurt his left, non-throwing shoulder during this past Sunday's loss in Philadelphia but didn't miss any of the 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…read more

Trending toward not playing
Speaking with the media Friday, coach Doug Pederson confirmed Lawrence (shoulder) is trending toward not playing Sunday against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: 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.

Remains limited, unlikely for Week 10
Lawrence (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: 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 Jaguars' signing of C.J. Beathard to the 53-man roster earlier in the week would seemingly…read more

Unlikely to play Week 10
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.
Analysis: 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 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,…read more

Nursing sore shoulder
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that Lawrence is dealing with a sore left shoulder and will be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

May be hurting heading into Week 10
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.
Analysis: 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. 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…read more

Short TDs save poor passing day
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.
Analysis: 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 Jaguars dropped to 2-7. Lawrence's managers will hope for better results against a middling Vikings defense next Sunday.

Scores thrice Sunday
Lawrence completed 21 of 32 pass attempts for 308 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while rushing four times for 10 yards and a third touchdown (one fumble lost) in Sunday's 30-27 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: Lawrence recorded his first game with three touchdowns this season, but it also came at the cost of his first two-turnover contest. The 2021 first overall pick has quietly been solid through seven weeks, producing an 11:4 TD:INT ratio for a flailing Jaguars squad. Lawrence will always intrigue with his physical tools and upside, but he should be considered a mid-tier fantasy option at best heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Eagles, especially with all three of his starting wide receivers…read more

Efficient, mistake-free in win
Lawrence completed 15 of 20 passes for 193 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Jaguars' 32-16 win over the Patriots on Sunday in London. He also rushed twice for 13 yards.
Analysis: Lawrence averaged an impressive 9.7 yards per attempt and avoided both turnovers and sacks altogether, making it a rare smooth afternoon for the embattled Jaguars signal-caller. He did see a three-game streak of multiple touchdown passes snapped, but he still recorded one scoring strike to Brian Thomas from six yards out early in the second quarter. Lawrence's sub-200-yard tally was his fourth such this season, but unlike other instances, Sunday's modest numbers were the result of a positive…read more

Pair of TDs in London loss
Lawrence completed 23 of 35 passes for 234 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London. He also rushed four times for 17 yards.
Analysis: Lawrence's final line was serviceable from a fantasy perspective as he generated his third straight two-touchdown-pass tally by connecting with Gabe Davis for scoring tosses of 21 and five yards. However, there were still too many stalled drives for the Jaguars, who punted on three consecutive first-half possessions following an opening-drive field goal. Lawrence did lead two long second-half marches that culminated in his touchdown strikes to Davis, but both came with Jacksonville facing a…read more

Season-best effort in victory
Lawrence completed 28 of 34 passes for 371 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and rushed twice for four yards in the Jaguars' 37-34 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: Looking for a little magic on his 25th birthday, Lawrence was able to help the Jaguars to their long-awaited first victory by turning in an elite performance. The 2021 first-round pick didn't toss his first touchdown of the afternoon until midway through the second quarter, connecting with star rookie Brian Thomas just past the midway point of the second quarter for an 85-yard catch-and-run score. Lawrence would come back with a four-yard TD toss to Brenton Strange early in the fourth quarter,…read more

Tosses two TDs in loss
Lawrence completed 18 of 33 passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Texans. He also rushed three times for five yards and committed a fumble recovered by Jacksonville.
Analysis: Despite another meager yardage total, Lawrence tossed multiple TDs in a game for the first time this season, hitting rookie Brian Thomas for a two-yard strike in the first quarter and Christian Kirk for an eight-yard score in the third. The latter gave the Jaguars a 20-17 lead, which looked like it might hold up until the team's defense failed to stop C.J. Stroud on the Texans' final drive. Lawrence will try to finish the job and give Jacksonville its first win of 2024 in Week 5 against…read more

More lackluster numbers in loss
Lawrence completed 21 of 38 passes for 178 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Jaguars' 47-10 loss to the Bills on Monday night. He also rushed twice for three yards.
Analysis: Lawrence and the Jaguars offense as a whole was under duress early, as the Bills already had a 13-0 lead by the end of one that had expanded to a 34-3 advantage by halftime. The 2021 first overall pick could only lead Jacksonville to that one field goal on five first-half possessions, one of which he short-circuited with an interception. Lawrence's best stretch of play came on the opening possession of the second half, when he helmed an eight-play, 70-yard march that he capped with a six-yard…read more

Can't solve Cleveland defense
Lawrence completed 14 of 30 passes for 220 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions in Sunday's 18-13 loss to the Browns. He added two rushes for 45 yards.
Analysis: Lawrence's overall line isn't bad from yards-per-attempt perspective, but he struggled to keep the Jaguars' offense on schedule. He had only 16 yards at halftime, and each of his six passes of 20 or more yards came after the team trailed by two possessions. Lawrence has hit for big plays and displayed mediocre efficiency through two games, but he hasn't sustained a productive offense for the team and has only one touchdown as a result.

Sees second-half downturn Sunday
Lawrence completed 12 of 21 passes for 162 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while adding one rush for eight yards in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Lawrence had the Jaguars' offense clicking early, helping lead Jacksonville to 17 first-half points via a trio of impressive drives. He capped the second one of those off with a 14-yard touchdown pass to rookie Brian Thomas, but he was a different quarterback in the second half. The Dolphins defense turned up the heat and made Lawrence uncomfortable, particularly in the fourth quarter when the Jaguars were badly in need of some points to fend off Miami's ultimately successful rally.

Sharp in rehearsal
Lawrence completed eight of 10 passes for 92 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions in Friday's 31-0 preseason win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Lawrence played two drives and capped each with a touchdown pass to Evan Engram. With Christian Kirk (calf) sidelined, Lawrence also had the chance to connect with rookie Brian Thomas for a long 38-yard gain as well as with Parker Washington. Though the true test will come in Week 1 against Miami, Lawrence was in command of the offense and accomplished everything that could have been asked of him Friday night.

Coach Doug Pederson suggested Monday that Lawrence and other starters will play "maybe two quarters" in Friday's preseason game at Atlanta, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Sharp on two possessions Saturday
Lawrence completed three of four passes for 42 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in the Jaguars' 26-13 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday night.
Analysis: Lawrence was in on the Jaguars' first two possessions and looked sharp during his time on the field, leading the Jaguars to an opening-drive touchdown that came via a nine-yard scoring pass to Travis Etienne. Lawrence's third and final completion of the night notably came to offseason addition Gabe Davis for 20 yards to open the second drive of the game, and the overall play of the first-team members of Jacksonville's offense was encouraging.

Set to play Saturday
Lawrence and other starters are scheduled to play "a series or two" in Saturday's preseason game against Kansas City, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: It doesn't sound like Lawrence will get enough run to be a desirable option in preseasons DFS contests, but fantasy players may be interested to see him take the field with new wide receivers Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas. It's not clear the latter will get much first-team work at this point, but the Jaguars figure to give their rookie first-round pick a good look at some point this year even if Parker Washington gets more snaps early on (which is far from a sure thing).

Inks long-term deal
The Jaguars and Lawrence agreed to terms on a five-year, $275 million contract extension Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lawrence's new deal includes $200 million guaranteed, including $142 million at signing, and the average annual value of $55 million matches Joe Burrow's NFL-leading mark. After Jacksonville extended the fifth-year opinion on Lawrence's rookie contract this spring, it was only a matter of time before the two sides reached an agreement to keep the first overall pick in the 2021 Draft in Duval for the foreseeable future.

Lawrence will be working with a familiar backfield of Etienne and Tank Bigsby in 2024, but his receiving corps has been jostled a bit, with WR Calvin Ridley departing for the AFC South rival Titans and rookie second-rounder Brian Thomas and free-agent pickup Gabe Davis replacing him.

Loses top wideout
Lawrence will enter the 2024 season without the presence of Calvin Ridley, who is set to sign a four-year, $92 million contract with the Titans, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Lawrence suited up for one less game last season after playing all 17 in 2022, but despite Ridley's presence atop the depth chart, he took a step back in terms of passing yards (4,016 vs. 4,113), touchdowns (21 vs. 25), and increased his interception total (14 vs. eight). That said, the loss of Ridley to free agency still represents a knock to Lawrence's prospects for 2024, especially with Zay Jones also being a speculated cap casualty.

Analysis: With the Jaguars needing a win Sunday to claim the AFC South title and earn a trip to the postseason, Lawrence will make his return from a one-game absence to direct the Jacksonville offense.

Analysis: Rapoport relays that Lawrence isn't at risk of further injuring his throwing shoulder, so his availability boils down to pain tolerance. The fact that the Jaguars can win the AFC South with a victory Sunday is another factor that would seemingly point toward Lawrence playing this week, though fantasy managers won't get official confirmation on that front until Jacksonville releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

However, after clearing the NFL's concussion protocol, per Michael DiRocco of ESPN, the QB traveled with the team to Tampa on Saturday, setting the stage for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft to make his 49th consecutive start, with C.J. Beathard slated to back him up. In the process, Lawrence is in line to face a Buccaneers defense that is…read more

Looks on tap for starting nod
Lawrence (concussion/ankle) took the field for pregame warmups and appears on track to start Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Juston Lewis of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Lawrence remains listed as questionable as the game's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff approaches, but he looks like he'll be able to direct the Jacksonville offense despite not having put in a full practice this week. The quarterback did manage a limited practice session Friday, and he was given the green light to travel with the team to Tampa on Saturday upon passing the final stage of the five-step concussion protocol, when he received clearance from an independent neurologist.

Travels with team Saturday
Lawrence (concussion/ankle) traveled with the Jaguars on Saturday ahead of Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, John Oehser of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Per Oehser, head coach Doug Pederson noted Friday that Lawrence needed to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to travel, so the quarterback looks to be trending toward starting Sunday. With the game beginning at 4:05 p.m. ET, official word on Lawrence's status won't arrive until Jacksonville releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Lawrence missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a limited session Friday and then officially being listed as questionable on…read more

Clears protocol, per report
Lawrence (concussion/ankle) has reportedly cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and is in line to travel with the Jaguars ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After having not practiced Wednesday or Thursday, Lawrence was listed as a limited participant in Friday's session and questionable for Sunday's contest. With Lawrence now having cleared concussion protocol, per Rapoport, the QB is trending toward being available for Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET contest, barring any setbacks.

Listed as questionable for Sunday
Lawrence (concussion/ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: After not practicing Wednesday and Thursday, Lawrence was listed as a limited participant in Friday's session. However, the quarterback is still in the NFL's concussion protocol with the Jaguars' Week 16 game just two days a way. With that in mind, head coach Doug Pederson told Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com on Friday that if Lawrence doesn't clear the five-step protocol by the time the Jaguars leave for Tampa Bay on Saturday afternoon, he won't travel with the team.

In line to practice Friday
Lawrence (concussion/ankle) is slated to practice Friday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After Lawrence missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, head coach Doug Pederson said prior to Friday's session that the quarterback will be given "as much [work ] as we can." While Lawrence's looming return to practice is a big step forward, he still needs to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to have any chance at starting Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Misses another practice
Lawrence (concussion/ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Lawrence didn't practice Wednesday either and has just one more opportunity to get in some on-field work prior to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. If the Jaguars' franchise quarterback isn't cleared to play this weekend, C.J. Beathard would be in line for the starting nod Sunday.

Not spotted at Wednesday's practice
Lawrence (concussion) isn't practicing Wednesday, Juston Lewis of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Lawrence was placed in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol after this past Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens. He'll have two more opportunities to return to practice this week, but even if he ends up participating fully by Friday, he'll still need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist if he's to have a chance at playing Sunday against the Buccaneers. If Lawrence is forced to miss a start for the first time in his NFL career, C.J. Beathard would be the next man up under center.

Still in concussion protocol
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Lawrence remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, but is "progressing well," Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Pederson didn't clarify whether the progress Lawrence has made will result in him practicing in some capacity Wednesday. If Lawrence is unable to clear the five-step protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, C.J. Beathard would be in line to fill in for Lawrence this weekend. Meanwhile, the Jaguars bolstered their signal-caller depth in advance of the Week 16 game by adding E.J. Perry to their practice squad.

Enters concussion protocol
Coach Doug Pederson said after Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens that Lawrence has entered the NFL's concussion protocol, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lawrence took a big hit at the end of a scramble on Jacksonville's last possession. He finished the game but was evaluated for a concussion after the game and has subsequently been placed in concussion protocol, which implies that the post-game evaluation confirmed a concussion. If Lawrence is unable to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in time to face the Buccaneers in Week 16, backup C.J.

Improved play despite taking loss
Lawrence (ankle) completed 25 of 43 pass attempts for 264 yards and a touchdown while rushing four times for 41 yards and losing two fumbles in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Lawrence started his second game since suffering a high-ankle sprain -- an injury that usually takes anywhere from four to eight weeks to fully heal -- and the results were a step forward from his three-interception dud a week ago. The 24-year-old showed good pocket movement on his lone touchdown pass in the third quarter when he smoothly executed a fake handoff before planting his feet and delivering a deep dime to Jamal Agnew. Lawrence did get charged with two turnovers after failing to…read more

Lawrence (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Lawrence's ability to take every practice rep Wednesday indicates that he experienced no setbacks with his right high-ankle sprain coming out of Sunday's 31-27 loss to Cleveland. The quarterback told Juston Lewis of The Florida Times-Union as much prior to Wednesday's practice, noting that he made it out of the Week 14 "pretty clean" and felt as though he moved around the pocket well.

Three picks in loss
Lawrence (ankle) completed 28 of his 50 pass attempts for 257 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Browns. He added three rushes for 11 yards.
Analysis: Lawrence suffered a high-ankle sprain in Monday's loss to the Bengals, yet he still managed to take the field six days later. Unsurprisingly, he didn't look to be playing at 100 percent, as he threw multiple interceptions in a game for only the second time this season and was also sacked four times. It wasn't all bad, however, as Lawrence also found the end zone three times, connecting twice with Evan Engram and once with Parker Washington. While he'll likely be under center once again in Week…read more

Lawrence (ankle) will start Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Lawrence -- who is dealing with a right high-ankle sprain -- approached the contest listed as questionable after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday, but he'll be in uniform Sunday and will thus have an opportunity to play through his ankle issue while facing a tough Cleveland defense that is allowing a league-low 153.4 passing yards per game.

Trending toward playing Sunday
The Jaguars are planning for Lawrence (ankle) to start Sunday against Cleveland, but he's viewed as a game-time call leading up to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, and a final decision on his status will be made after he goes through pregame warmups, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Lawrence suffered a right high-ankle sprain in Monday's overtime loss to Cincinnati, so his ability to suit up six days later would be an impressive feat considering that the injury often results in a multi-week absence. The star quarterback finished Week 14 prep with a pair of limited practices following a missed session Wednesday and entered the weekend with a questionable designation, so it's not yet a certainty that he'll be cleared to play if things don't get well in warmups.

Gets questionable tag for Sunday
Lawrence (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns after practicing in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday.
Analysis: Per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, head coach Doug Pederson said earlier Friday that the Jaguars will wait until Sunday before deciding whether Lawrence -- who is dealing with a right high-ankle sprain -- will get the start versus Cleveland.

Likely game-time decision
Coach Doug Pederson noted that the status of Lawrence (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Browns will likely hinge on how the QB does in practice Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Pederson answered "probably so" when asked if Lawrence will be a game-time decision for Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff. Considering that, Lawrence is trending toward entering the weekend with a 'questionable' designation on the final injury report. He's dealing with a high ankle sprain and won't have his usual mobility if he ends up playing.

Lawrence (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Lawrence is dealing with a high right-ankle sprain, but after missing Wednesday's session, the QB's ability to practice a day later -- albeit capped -- offers hope that he could play through the issue this weekend against the Browns. Unless Lawrence is able to practice fully Friday, however, he figures to approach Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET contest with an injury designation.

Lawrence (ankle) was spotted on the field for practice Thursday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per DiRocco, Lawrence noted Wednesday that his right ankle felt much better than he anticipated it would two days after suffering a right high-ankle sprain in Monday's overtime loss to the Bengals. While the quarterback didn't appear to take part in every drill Thursday, he warmed up with his teammates and did some throwing. The Jaguars' second Week 14 injury report will be issued later Thursday and clarify the extent of Lawrence's participation.

Lawrence (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Lawrence never stood a chance to practice Wednesday after exiting Monday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Bengals with what was later diagnosed as a right high-ankle sprain. The Jaguars haven't ruled him out for Sunday's game against Cleveland, but it'll be surprising if he's able to play. C.J. Beathard came off the bench to replace Lawrence against the Bengals and should be in line for the Week 14 start.

Lawrence suffered a high-ankle sprain during Monday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Bengals, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Lawrence was bent backward as he was taken to the ground in the fourth quarter Monday and was in clear discomfort as he attempted to get to his feet. He then needed assistance to make his way to the locker room, after which X-rays came back negative.

May have avoided serious injury
The Jaguars are optimistic that Lawrence (ankle) may have avoided a serious injury after departing Monday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Bengals early, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lawrence is set to undergo further medical testing Tuesday, so it shouldn't be long before Jacksonville releases an official update on the star quarterback's health. He exited Monday's game early after Left tackle Walker Little (hamstring) stepped on his right ankle, followed by a Cincinnati defender bending the quarterback awkwardly. C.J. Beathard then stepped into the lineup, and he would presumably be called upon to start Week 14 versus the Browns if Lawrence ultimately can't go.

No further information on the severity of the injury is expected until Lawrence is evaluated Tuesday. C.J.

Throws for season-high 364 in win
Lawrence completed 23 of 38 passes for 364 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Texans. He also rushed twice for zero yards and one rushing touchdown, in addition to throwing a two-point conversion.
Analysis: Lawrence's one-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter came one play after a third-down defensive pass interference penalty in the end zone kept Jacksonville's offense on the field. After failing to post a rushing score through nine games, Lawrence has three rushing touchdowns in the last two games. He also connected with Calvin Ridley for a one-yard touchdown and a two-point conversion to take the lead in the third quarter.

Analysis: Lawrence accounted for all four of Jacksonville's touchdowns, connecting twice with Calvin Ridley in the end zone on passes of three and 20 yards. He also found the end zone twice on the ground -- his first rushing scores of the season -- from nine and five yards away. The performance marked only the third time this season that Lawrence has tallied multiple scores, and he also chipped in strong efficiency through the air by averaging 8.2 yards per attempt.

Shut down by 49ers
Lawrence completed 17 of 29 passes for 185 yards and two interceptions in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers. He also rushed twice for seven yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: Lawrence was under duress throughout against a San Francisco defensive line that sacked him five times. Still, the quarterback shoulders a substantial portion of the blame for the blowout loss, as the Jaguars scored a season-low three points and two of Lawrence's three turnovers came in 49ers territory. Lawrence will have a nice opportunity to bounce back in Week 11 against the Titans, but his 9:6 TD:INT through nine games is disappointing.

Lawrence (knee) completed 24 of 32 passes for 292 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 20-10 win over Pittsburgh. He added one rushing attempt for 10 yards.
Analysis: With Jacksonville leading 6-0 and looking for more, Lawrence was picked off in the end zone on 1st-and-goal. Lawrence finally got the offense into the end zone with a 56-yard touchdown pass to Travis Etienne in the third quarter, but that was his only touchdown pass of the afternoon, as Lawrence has a modest 9:4 TD:INT heading into Jacksonville's Week 9 bye after posting a 25:8 TD:INT last season.

Lawrence hit Christian Kirk with a go-ahead 44-yard touchdown pass with just over three minutes remaining on a slant pattern that saw the receiver curl upfield after the catch and outrun multiple defenders to the end zone.

Lawrence completed 25 of 37 passes for 315 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 25-20 win over Buffalo. He also rushed seven times for 31 yards and fumbled three times, losing two.
Analysis: Lawrence threw for over 300 yards for the first time this season and went without an interception for the second straight contest, but he still had trouble with ball security Sunday with three fumbles on five sacks. The 24-year-old was still able to lead Jacksonville to its second straight win, though he'll need to improve his ball security going forward with two interceptions and six fumbles (three lost) through five games.

Analysis: Lawrence opened the scoring by finding Calvin Ridley for a 30-yard touchdown during the first quarter. Most of his completions went to Christian Kirk or Evan Engram, though, as that duo combined for 15 receptions on 20 targets. Although Lawrence didn't seem to see Kirk on a couple open routes into the end zone, he at least compensated with some production as a runner and had a game-long run of 22 yards. With no turnovers, either, it was a solid display to earn a victory ahead of a Week 5…read more

Disappointing effort in Week 3 loss
Lawrence completed 27 of 40 passes for 279 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Jaguars' 37-17 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 12 yards.
Analysis: Lawrence's final line may have looked aesthetically pleasing from a fantasy standpoint, but the way the game actually played out on the field for the third-year signal-caller was a lot different. Lawrence wasn't sacked, and his one pick only led to a Houston field goal that didn't have a significant impact on the game, yet he surprisingly failed to consistently find success against the Texans defense and was also partly saddled with unfortunate circumstances that included a blocked field goal…read more

Held without TD in Week 2 loss
Lawrence completed 22 of 41 passes for 216 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 17-9 loss to Kansas City. He added five rushing attempts for 26 yards and fumbled twice, losing one.
Analysis: Lawrence didn't lead a touchdown drive and failed on two crucial fourth downs in Kansas City territory, getting sacked by Chris Jones in the second quarter and throwing an incomplete pass from the 16-yard line on Jacksonville's final possession. After topping 250 yards in eight of 17 games last season, Lawrence has fallen short of that mark twice in as many games heading into a Week 3 home game against the Texans, who held him to 438 yards and a 0:3 TD:INT across two meetings in 2022.

Leads comeback win
Lawrence completed 24 of 32 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Colts. He also added 21 rushing yards on seven carries.
Analysis: Jacksonville was down 21-17 heading into the fourth quarter, as Lawrence's offensive line had trouble containing DeForest Buckner and the Indy pass rush, but the third-year quarterback caught fire down the stretch and led the Jags on back-to-back TD drives with less than six minutes left on the clock. Lawrence had a fairly narrow target tree in Week 1, as four Jaguars (Calvin Ridley, Zay Jones, Evan Engram and Travis Etienne) accounted for 23 of his 24 completions. Lawrence will take some…read more

Encouraging effort in finale
Lawrence completed eight of 10 passes for 92 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Jaguars' 31-18 preseason win over the Dolphins on Saturday night.
Analysis: Lawrence got off to a hot start by completing passes of 11 yards to Calvin Ridley and 13 and 11 yards to Luke Farrell as part of a 12-play, 78-yard march, but the possession ended with a Tank Bigsby fumble at the one-yard line. Undeterred, Lawrence came back to helm a 12-play, 80-yard drive on Jacksonville's second possession, one that included a 28-yard connection with Ridley. The 2021 first-overall pick's night was a success overall despite the lack of a touchdown pass, and he'll now turn his…read more

On track to play Saturday
Coach Doug Pederson plans to have the Jaguars' healthy starters play in the first half of Saturday's preseason finale against the Dolphins, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Lawrence didn't see any action in this past weekend's contest against the Lions.
Analysis: Once Lawrence gets his reps in against Miami, he'll turn his focus toward the team's regular-season opener against the Colts. As the coming campaign approaches, the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft will look to take his game to the next level in his third year as a pro, while helming a Jacksonville passing attack that will be fortified by the addition of Calvin Ridley to a WR corps that welcomes back returnees Christian Kirk and Zay Jones.

Plays three series Saturday
Lawrence completed five passes for 36 yards and a touchdown, with his only missed throw being an interception in Saturday's preseason opener against Dallas.
Analysis: Head coach Doug Pederson said that the starters would be limited to one or two series, but Lawrence wound up playing in three after throwing an interception on his second attempt, resulting in a 32-second first drive. The top pick from the 2021 Draft bounced back from the turnover like he did so many times last year, finishing the day on a high note with a TD pass to Christian Kirk. Lawrence also got his new weapon, Calvin Ridley, involved for what is shaping up to be a dynamic passing offense…read more

Set to play 1-to-2 series Saturday
Lawrence and the rest of Jacksonville's starters on offense will play one or two series in Saturday's preseason opener against Dallas, according to coach Doug Pederson, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Lawrence should get his first opportunity to build chemistry with wide receiver Calvin Ridley in a game situation. The third-year quarterback also will look to rekindle his connections with running back Travis Etienne, wide receivers Christian Kirk and Zay Jones and tight end Evan Engram, all of whom are returning from last year's team.

Inconsistent against KC
Lawrence completed 24 of 39 passes for 217 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Saturday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Lawrence led a few long scoring drives, the highlight of which came early in the first quarter on a 10-yard touchdown pass to Christian Kirk (knee). That helped keep the Jaguars in the game, though Lawrence and the rest of the offense ultimately made too many mistakes and played too inefficiently to pull off the upset. His biggest mistake came with just under four minutes remaining in the game, when he was picked off by Jaylen Watson. Despite the letdown to close the campaign, Lawrence took a…read more

Playing Saturday
Lawrence (toe) is listed as active Saturday at Kansas City.
Analysis: Lawrence has been tending to a sprained big toe on his left foot since Week 13, but he's been able to play through it over the last six games, completing 66 percent of his passes for 261.2 yards per game while putting together 12 touchdowns versus six interceptions. He also tacked on a pair of scores on the ground during that stretch. Lawrence now will be facing a Chiefs defense that allowed the most passing TDs (33) to opposing quarterbacks during the regular season.

Lawrence (toe) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Kansas City after practicing in a limited fashion this week.
Analysis: The Jaguars' QB has been a steady presence on his team's injury report since hurting his toe back in Week 13, but Lawrence has continued to play through the issue since then, and there's no reason to expect that to change this weekend. However, official confirmation of Lawrence's availability for the divisional round of the playoffs won't arrive until Jacksonville's inactives are posted ahead of Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

Leads massive comeback effort
Lawrence completed 28 of 47 passes for 288 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions in Saturday's 31-30 wild-card round win over the Chargers. He added one rush for eight yards.
Analysis: Lawrence had a disastrous start to his postseason debut, as he threw four picks in the Jaguars' first six offensive possessions. When the second half kicked off, he had completed only 10 of 24 passes for 77 yards. However, Lawrence led a remarkable second-half comeback, highlighted by touchdown tosses of six, 39 and nine yards while also averaging 9.2 yards per attempt. He won't have the same margin for error in the AFC divisional round, particularly if the Jaguars line up for a matchup against…read more

Lawrence completed 20 of 32 passes for 212 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Despite getting the win, it wasn't Lawrence's best performance. He connected with Christian Kirk on a 25-yard touchdown pass just before halftime, but he also missed a wide open Zay Jones in the back of the end zone early in the third quarter. Lawrence also had to rely upon the Jacksonville defense to return a fumble for a touchdown with under three minutes remaining in the game for the Jags to get the win and take the AFC South title.

Disappointing numbers in blowout
Lawrence completed 17 of 21 pass attempts for 152 yards and one interception against Houston on Sunday.
Analysis: Whether it was just an off day for Lawrence or maybe a vanilla game plan in a meaningless contest isn't clear, but the otherwise surging second-year quarterback presumably hoped to produce more with his playing time Sunday. Then again, the Jaguars won 31-3, so any lack of urgency from Lawrence and/or the Jacksonville playcalling would make sense.

Fortunately for those inclined to use Lawrence in Week 14 fantasy lineups, the Jaguars kick off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, so his status will be confirmed ahead of the first wave of games this weekend.

Listed as questionable for Sunday
Lawrence (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after practicing in a limited fashion Friday.
Analysis: Lawrence logged no practice activity Wednesday and Thursday, but the quarterback's return to practice Friday bodes well for his availability this weekend. Per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, Lawrence previously said that he expects to play against Tennessee, and there should be added context with regard to the signal-caller's Week 14 status in the hours leading up to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Returning to limited practice
Lawrence (toe) is expected to practice in a limited capacity Friday, Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com reports.
Analysis: Lawrence has missed two straight practices due to the left toe sprain he picked up during the Jaguars' Week 13 loss to the Lions. The quarterback said Wednesday that he plans to play Sunday versus Tennessee, and while returning to practice in even a limited capacity is a good sign, he may still carry an injury designation into the weekend. Backup C.J. Beathard is available to fill in for Lawrence should the Jaguars need his services Week 14.

Sits out practice Thursday
Lawrence (toe) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson indicated Wednesday that he thought the quarterback may be able to practice at some point this week, with DiRocco suggesting that could occur Friday, with a shorter workout on tap for the Jaguars. Per DiRocco, Lawrence has said that he expects to play Sunday against the Titans, but it seems likely nonetheless that the signal-caller will enter the weekend with an injury designation.

Plans to play Sunday
Lawrence said that his sprained left big toe feels better Wednesday than it has since he initially suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Lions, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Lawrence will sit out Wednesday's practice, but head coach Doug Pederson said that he believes that that the quarterback will get back on the field Thursday and/or Friday, according to DiRocco. Meanwhile, when asked Wednesday whether he expects to play Sunday against the Titans, Lawrence replied that he plans on suiting up this weekend. Backup C.J. Beathard took reps with the first-team offense during Wednesday's practice while Lawrence watched from the side.

Sits out practice with sprained toe
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Lawrence won't practice Wednesday due to a sprained left big toe, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: According to Shipley, Pederson added that Lawrence is considered day-to-day and "progressing in the right direction" from the injury that forced him out for a spell during this past Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Lions. Lawrence was able to return to the contest and finished the afternoon with 17 completions on 31 attempts for 179 yards and one touchdown to go with 32 yards on four carries. At this stage, Pederson told Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com that he's unsure if Lawrence will be able to play…read more

Will undergo MRI on Monday
Coach Doug Pederson said Lawrence will undergo an MRI on his left foot Monday, but the quarterback is trending in the right direction, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Lawrence took a hard hit on the final play of the first half and bent his left leg awkwardly, but he was able to get to the locker room under his own power and was back on the field to start the second half. It appears the MRI is merely precautionary, but the results should provide further clarity on Lawrence's availability for practice this week.

Gets past injury scare in big loss
Lawrence completed 17 of 31 passes for 179 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Jaguars' 40-14 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 32 yards.
Analysis: Lawrence and the Jaguars offense were no match in terms of keeping up with a nearly flawless, high-powered Lions attack. Additionally, the second-year signal-caller survived an injury scare on the last play of the second quarter when his leg was bent awkwardly under him on a sack, but he was ultimately able to walk off under his own power to the locker room at halftime and never missed a play. However, he finished with his fourth sub-200-yard passing yardage tally of the season and saw a streak…read more

Throws for three scores
Lawrence completed 29 of 37 passes for 321 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 28-27 win over Baltimore.
Analysis: Lawrence had an impressive performance and managed the third three-touchdown performance of his career. He delivered those scores from 27, one and 10 yards away, the final of which came with only 14 seconds left in the game. It was also an impressive effort from an efficiency perspective, as Lawrence averaged 8.7 yards per attempt and completed five passes of more than 20 yards. Though he's remained inconsistent, Lawrence has multiple touchdowns or topped 300 passing yards in five of his 11…read more

Sharp under duress in Week 10 loss
Lawrence completed 29 of 40 passes for 259 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and added four rushes for 26 yards in the Jaguars' 27-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Lawrence took five sacks overall, but he still found a way to a very productive fantasy day overall that included a pair of touchdown passes to Christian Kirk. It was the second-year signal-caller's first time since Week 4 with multiple scoring tosses, while his yardage total qualified as his second highest over the last four games. Lawrence will have a chance to continue honing his already solid chemistry with the likes of Kirk, Zay Jones and Marvin Jones during the Week 11 bye ahead of a Week…read more

Guides Jags to comeback win
Lawrence completed 25 of 31 passes for 235 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders. He added six rushes for 53 yards.
Analysis: Even in a comeback effort, Lawrence took a back seat to Travis Etienne in the offense. However, he was effective when called upon, highlighted by a 44-yard run just before halftime that helped set up a field goal. Lawrence also showed a particular connection with Christian Kirk, connecting with him for his longest gain through the air of 23 yards and also for his lone passing score of seven yards.

Lawrence completed 18 of 31 passes for 133 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos. He added three rushes for 15 yards.
Analysis: Lawrence had a tough task facing one of the best secondaries in the league, but the results were particularly ugly. He averaged only 4.3 yards per attempt and threw multiple interceptions in a game for only the second time this season -- one of which came at Denver's goal line. After starting the campaign with multiple touchdown passes in three of the team's first four games, Lawrence has now failed to do so in four consecutive matchups.

Held without passing TD by Giants
Lawrence completed 22 of 43 passes for 310 yards and rushed four times for three yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: After benefiting from the NFL's latest controversial roughing the passer penalty, Lawrence snuck over the goal line for a one-yard touchdown on the first drive of the second half to give Jacksonville a 17-13 lead. Another Lawrence sneak attempt early in the fourth quarter was less effective, as he failed to convert a 4th and 1 from New York's 20-yard line.

Two rushing TDs in loss
Lawrence completed 20 of 22 passes for 163 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Jaguars' 34-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also rushed six times for 23 yards and two touchdowns.
Analysis: Lawrence's near-perfect day in terms of completion percentage netted a modest yardage total, but he made up for it with his one- and two-yard touchdown runs. Lawrence connected with eight different pass catchers overall and hit Christian Kirk for a four-yard touchdown pass with 2:44 remaining to cap off an 18-play, 84-yard march, only to see Matt Ryan lead the Colts down the field on 11 plays for the game-winning score.

Turnover woes continue
Lawrence completed 25 of 47 pass attempts for 286 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while adding 29 yards on four carries in Sunday's 13-6 loss to Houston.
Analysis: Lawrence failed to deliver at key points of long drives, which explains his new season high in yards despite leading zero touchdown drives. Last year's first-overall pick didn't have any fumbles after losing four last week, but he threw an untimely red zone interception in the second quarter and ended the game with a second pick on an underthrown Hail Mary attempt.

Turns ball over five times in loss
Lawrence completed 11 of 23 pass attempts for 174 yards, two touchdowns, one interception and four lost fumbles in Sunday's 29-21 loss to Philadelphia.
Analysis: Lawrence got off to blazing start with two quick touchdowns to put his team up 14-0 in the first quarter. That's where the positive reviews end for the sophomore quarterback, as he was figured out by the Eagles' defense from there on out and watched the game literally slip from his hands, losing a career-high four fumbles. The 22-year-old appeared to be figuring things out over the last couple of weeks, but Sunday's backslide brings his season average back down to 236.5 passing yards per game…read more

Tosses three TDs against Bolts
Lawrence completed 28 of 39 passes for 262 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: The second-year QB put together one of the best performances of his young career, hitting all three of his top wideouts (Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones and Zay Jones) for scores while also tossing a two-point conversion to Evan Engram. Lawrence is thriving under new head coach Doug Pederson, posting a 6:1 TD:INT through the first three games of 2022, but he'll likely need to stay productive in Week 4 if the Jaguars are going to stay competitive on the road against Jalen Hurts and the Eagles.

Precise in victory
Lawrence completed 25 of 30 passes for 235 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Lawrence was sharp early, as he led the Jaguars on a 15-play, 68-yard drive that concluded with a 10-yard touchdown toss to Christian Kirk. The Jaguars jumped out to a big lead from there, so Lawrence was largely asked to manage the game. However, he did well with that task, accurately finding Kirk deep down the field on a few occasions. Lawrence's performances haven't been perfect to begin the season, but he has looked far more comfrotable as a professional quarterback.

Analysis: Lawrence and the entire Jaguars' offense got off to a slow start, but sophomore quarterback got things rolling in the second half, highlighted by a 49-yard bomb to Christian Kirk. The 22-year-old was attempting to complete an impressive comeback drive in the closing moments of the contest, but he was harassed in the pocket and threw up a lame duck that was easily intercepted.

Analysis: Lawrence played multiple drives in each of the first two games, completing 20 of 33 passes for 228 yards and a touchdown and adding 24 rushing yards. His next appearance will come Week 1 at Washington, facing a defense that was one of the league's best in 2020 and one of its worst in 2021, as no team allowed more fantasy points to quarterbacks last year.

Looks good against Steelers
Lawrence completed 14 of 21 passes for 133 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Steelers. He also gained 13 yards on the ground.
Analysis: Lawrence played the entire first half and effectively led the Jaguars to a pair of field goals. He showed particular rapport with Marvin Jones, connecting with the veteran receiver for gains of 16, 14 and 10 yards. While preseason statistics can be misleading, Lawrence appears far more comfortable in his second season as a pro.

Connects with new TE for TD
Lawrence completed six of 12 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown while adding an 11-yard run in Friday's 24-13 preseason loss to the Browns.
Analysis: After leading a pair of field-goal drives in the first quarter, Lawrence connected with tight end Evan Engram for a nine-yard touchdown to take a 13-0 lead early in the second quarter on his final pass of the game. Cleveland's backups staged a comeback after that, but this was an encouraging performance from Jacksonville's starters on both sides of the ball. Lawrence will look to build on this performance in Jacksonville's next preseason game, Aug. 20 against the Steelers.

Beathard vs. Luton for the backup job may be the only real competition in the QB room this summer, but it's also a crucial time in Lawrence's career as he prepares for his second NFL season with the help of a new coaching staff.

He showed particular rapport with Marvin Jones, which culminated in a three-yard score late in the third quarter.

It was Lawrence's first touchdown since Week 12, but it's hardly worth celebrating given it came late in the fourth quarter with the Jags trailing by 47 points.

Analysis: Lawrence was bailed out early in the second quarter, as he fumbled on the Jets' one-yard line but the ball was recovered by offensive lineman Will Richardson in the end zone for a Jacksonville touchdown. The rookie first overall pick racked up his highest passing yardage total since Week 6, but he came one yard short of leading his team to victory, as his 4th-and-goal incompletion from New York's one-yard line in the game's final seconds was the deciding play.

However, things unraveled in the second half as he threw all four of his picks with Jacksonville pushing to get back in the game.

Lawrence completed 16 of 35 passes for 162 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed five times for 33 yards in the Jaguars' 23-17 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also lost a fumble with 50 seconds remaining.
Analysis: Lawrence averaged just 4.6 yards per attempt and completed less than 50.0 percent of his throws for the first time since Week 2 and only his second time as a pro. The first overall pick's fumble on a strip sack at the Colts' 47-yard line with less than 50 seconds left sealed another loss for Jacksonville, ending the game on a particularly sour note.

Per Rapoport, Lawrence is expected to be limited in practice this week, but the rookie No. 1 overall pick has apparently avoided any structural damage. The Jaguars face a road matchup against the Colts in Week 10.

Lawrence completed 32 of 54 pass attempts for 238 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Seattle on Sunday. He also carried three times for 11 yards.
Analysis: The Seahawks defense isn't very talented, but the Jaguars offense is badly bereft of talent and compounds that issue with profound general dysfunction. Not to excuse Lawrence for his mistakes, but pressure and wide receivers drops were both issues. There's still reason to believe Lawrence is a very talented player who will become a star in both real life and in fantasy, but with this collection of players and Urban Meyer at head coach, the outlook is bleak. It's a near certainty that little or…read more

Tops 300 passing yards
Lawrence completed 25 of his 41 passes for 319 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Dolphins. He added two rushes for 11 yards.
Analysis: Lawrence saw increased pass volume, topping 34 attempts for the first time since Week 1. The result was the second 300-yard performance of his career, which was highlighted by seven completions of at least 20 yards. The only downside to the performance was lack of touchdowns, and Lawrence has no more than one passing score in each of his last five games. Even so, he's started to look more comfortable with the professional game and has averaged 8.1 yards per attempt across his last three…read more

Two-touchdown showing
Lawrence completed 23 of 33 passes for 273 yards, one touchdown and one interception against Tennessee on Sunday, adding 28 yards and one touchdown rushing.
Analysis: Lawrence's numbers had some encouraging details, including the 2:1 ratio of touchdowns to turnovers, but the Jaguars offense was mostly tamed in a contest the team lost, 37-19. The rookie can be forgiven for that given the overall state of the franchise, but for the Jaguars to be more competitive they'll need to get the ball to their best receivers, and that definitely didn't happen here. Laviska Shenault and Marvin Jones each caught just one reception Sunday -- Shenault on three targets and…read more

Turnover-free effort in close loss
Lawrence completed 17 of 24 passes for 204 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Jaguars' 24-21 loss to the Bengals on Thursday night. He also rushed eight times for 36 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Lawrence lost his duel with fellow first overall pick Joe Burrow, albeit by a much tighter margin than many projected coming in. This year's top selection was particularly impressive during the first half, when he led the Jaguars to a surprising 14-0 lead. Lawrence often zeroed in on the sure-handed and versatile Laviska Shenault, whom he connected with on a team-high six occasions for 99 yards, and he persevered despite losing DJ Chark to a fractured ankle in the first half. While Lawrence and…read more

Four giveaways in loss
Lawrence completed 22 of 34 passes for 219 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 31-19 loss to the Cardinals. He also had six carries for 27 yards and lost a pair of fumbles.
Analysis: Lawrence now has multiple interceptions in each of his first three NFL starts, and he tacked on two lost fumbles Week 3. The rookie quarterback hasn't received much help from the rest of the offense, but ball security is clearly an issue to open his professional career. The Jaguars had only two scoring drives again Sunday, and the offense has scored only three touchdowns over the past two games, while Jamal Agnew has provided a pair of scores in the return game. Given his early struggles,…read more

Two picks in Week 2 loss
Lawrence completed 14 of 33 passes for 118 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions during Sunday's 23-13 loss to Denver. He added two carries for 21 yards.
Analysis: Lawrence threw three picks in his NFL debut last week but still flashed his potential with three scores, and there were significantly fewer positives in Week 2 while he completed only 42 percent of his passes. The 21-year-old connected with Marvin Jones for a 25-yard touchdown to finish an 83-yard drive to open the game, but Denver stifled Lawrence and the rest of the offense for the remainder of the contest -- Jamal Agnew scored Jacksonville's other touchdown on a kickoff return. Lawrence may…read more

Mixed bag in pro debut
Lawrence completed 28 of 51 passes for 332 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions in the Jaguars' 37-21 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also rushed once for minus-2 yards.
Analysis: The first overall pick offered a bit of everything in his first taste of regular-season action, interspersing flashes of his undeniable talent with a trio of mistakes that cost the Jaguars. Lawrence was impressive distributing the ball, ultimately connecting with eight different pass catchers and finding DJ Chark, Marvin Jones and Chris Manhertz for his three scoring tosses. However, Lawrence also short-circuited Jacksonville drives at midfield, his own eight-yard line and the Texans' 23 with…read more

Sharp in preseason finale
Prior to being replaced by C.J. Beathard, Lawrence completed 11 of 12 pass attempts for 139 yards and two TDs in Sunday's preseason finale against Dallas.
Analysis: Though operating in a context in which numerous starters from both teams were not playing, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft ended his preseason on a high note and now will turn his focus to readying for Jacksonville's Week 1 tilt against Houston. While promising running back Travis Etienne (foot) is out for the season, Lawrence's cause as a rookie will be aided by the fact that he still has a capable top RB in James Robinson to work with, as well as a solid wideout trio -- DJ Chark…read more

Expected to suit up Sunday
Lawrence isn't among the players listed by the Jaguars as not slated to suit up for Sunday's preseason finale versus the Cowboys, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: That said, it remains to be seen how much action Lawrence is on tap to see Sunday, but he already has been named the team's starting Week 1 QB, a decision that was followed by a trade that sent Gardner Minshew to the Eagles. Though promising running back Travis Etienne (foot) is out for the season, Lawrence, as a rookie, still has the capable James Robinson to hand off to as well as a solid wideout trio -- DJ Chark (finger), Marvin Jones (shoulder) and Laviska Shenault -- to throw to in 2021.

Named Week 1 starter
Jacksonville named Lawrence its starting quarterback for Week 1 against Houston, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

Underwhelms in second start
Lawrence completed 14 of 23 passes for 113 yards in Monday night's 23-21 preseason loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Lawrence made a couple nice throws that highlighted his mobility, but it otherwise was an underwhelming outing for this year's top pick. Along with getting a few passes broken up by defenders, Lawrence led the Jags to just three points on his six first-half drives. Although Gardner Minshew did slightly better in the second half, completing 13 of 21 for 149 yards, his interception in the opposing end zone won't help his chances of unseating Lawrence to be named Jacksonville's starter. Right now,…read more

Should play more this week
Coach Urban Meyer said he plans for Lawrence to get more work in Monday's preseason game against the Saints, after the rookie completed six of nine passes for 71 yards last week versus Cleveland, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Meyer still hasn't committed to Lawrence as the starter Monday night, but offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell acknowledged Thursday that it's likely. While Meyer continues to call it a competition for the starting job between Lawrence and Gardner Minshew, it won't seem like a real contest if the No. 1 overall pick is tabbed to start for a second straight week.

Should start again
Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said Thursday that Lawrence is likely to start Monday's preseason game against New Orleans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Urban Meyer called it a "decent chance" on Monday, and Bevell is now using slightly stronger language. Lawrence and Gardner Minshew continue to split first-team reps in practice, but it's telling that the rookie is expected to start the Jags' preseason game for a second straight week. Both QBs were average in the opener, and Minshew remains a long shot to get the Week 1 nod.

Starting again next week?
Coach Urban Meyer said Monday that there's a "decent chance" Lawrence starts the Jaguars' second preseason game next Monday at New Orleans, Mark Long of the Associated Press reports.
Analysis: Lawrence started the preseason opener and completed six of nine passes for 71 yards, though he failed to produce any points on three drives, limited by sacks (two for 12 yards) and poor field position. Fellow Jags QB Gardner Minshew also failed to score on three drives, completing four of seven passes for 47 yards before he was intercepted on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half. Minshew has been getting some first-team reps in practice and is said by Meyer to be competing for the starting…read more

Efficient in preseason opener
Lawrence completed six of his nine attempts for 71 yards in Saturday's preseason game against Cleveland.
Analysis: Lawrence drew the start and was sacked and fumbled on his first play from scrimmage. He did recover from there, completing passes to a number of starting wideouts, including Marvin Jones and Laviska Shenault, on the opening drive. Lawrence's best throw came at the close of the first quarter when he connected down the field with Jones for a 35-yard pass. Though there has been no official announcement from the team, it is presumed that Lawrence will be under center when the Jaguars kick off the…read more

Starting Saturday night?
Lawrence and Gardner Minshew both will play in Saturday's preseason opener against Cleveland, with Jaguars coach Urban Meyer saying he'll wait until Thursday night to determine his starter, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The two QBs are listed as co-starters on the initial preseason depth chart, both getting reps with the first-team offense throughout training camp. While it will still be a big surprise if Minshew ends up winning the Week 1 starting job, it'd be much less surprising to see him under center for the first drive of the preseason opener Saturday night.

Listed as co-starter
Lawrence and Gardner Minshew are listed as co-starters at quarterback on Jacksonville's first unofficial depth chart of training camp, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: The two QBs opened training camp splitting reps with the first-team offense, so it's not a major surprise that head coach Urban Meyer will continue with that mindset entering Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns. Lawrence has made a strong impression early in camp despite the expected rookie hiccups, putting him in a strong position to earn the starting job over the next few weeks.

Shares first-team work with Minshew
Lawrence and Gardner Minshew split quarterback reps with the first-team offense Wednesday, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Analysis: Minshew took the first snap with the starters on the first day of camp, but he still appears destined for a backup role in the grand scheme of things. While the Jacksonville brass has mostly avoided commenting on the situation, Minshew's recent comments frame it as an open competition between him and Lawrence for the starting job, per independent NFL reporter Dov Kleiman.

Inks rookie deal
The Jaguars have signed Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, John Oehser of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Per ESPN.com, Lawrence's deal, which has a fifth-year option, is projected to be worth $36.8 million, including a $24.1 million signing bonus. The 21-year-old QB, who dealt with a minor hamstring issue in June, should be good to go once training camp opens and is expected to be installed as the team's starter in advance of Week 1. From a fantasy perspective, Lawrence's long-range outlook is bright and though rookie signal callers often take time to develop, the Clemson product is a viewed as a…read more

Limited by minor hamstring issue
Lawrence didn't take part in 11-on-11 drills Monday due to a minor hamstring issue that coach Urban Meyer had decided to take precautions with, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It doesn't sound like Lawrence would have been in danger to miss had it been a game day, especially considering he still took part in the 7-on-7 portion of the session. He still has plenty of offseason to prepare but likely will aim to miss as little as possible as he gets acclimated to the top level of football heading into his rookie season.

Not restricted at OTAs
Lawrence performed well during this week's OTAs and did not seem to have any issue with his non-throwing shoulder, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Perhaps more importantly, head coach Urban Meyer suggested the No.1 overall pick was "not necessarily on a pitch count," further indicating Lawrence is not restricted in any way after undergoing surgery to address a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The Clemson product is expected to compete with Gardner Minshew for the starting role and likely should be considered the favorite for the job entering training camp.

Taking part in rookie minicamp
Lawrence (shoulder) is scheduled to participate in the Jaguars' rookie minicamp this month, but the team will likely limit his activity, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to Rapoport, the Jaguars will restrict the amount of reps Lawerence handles mostly as a precaution while he continues to recover from February surgery to address a torn labrum in his left (non-throwing) shoulder). The No. 1 overall pick should be free of restrictions for the start of training camp, when he'll stake his claim to the starting role over incumbent Gardner Minshew.
