Trevor Lawrence injury update: Jaguars QB’s status revealed for Sunday vs. Lions

The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially ruled out the quarterback Trevor Lawrence for Sunday’s matchup against the Detroit Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Friday evening. Running back Tank Bigsby is also ruled out for Sunday’s game. Lawrence is dealing with a serious AC Joint sprain, which the Athletic reported a few days ago could potentially sideline him for the rest of the 2024 season.

More on Trevor Lawrence and his injury

“A severe AC joint sprain could sideline Trevor Lawrence for the rest of the season, sources tell (athletics)” the tweet read. “Lawrence is out today gathering more information about his injury.”

In nine games this season, Lawrence has played decently, but the Jaguars were 2-7 going into Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. They now sit at 2-8 overall in the 2024 season.

He had 2,004 yards, 11 touchdowns, six interceptions and a 61.3% completion percentage. Lawrence had back-to-back seasons with over 20 touchdown passes and 4,000 yards since his rough rookie season.

In all, Lawrence has 13,774 yards, 69 touchdowns, 45 interceptions and a 63.4% completion percentage. He led Jacksonville to an AFC South title in 2022 and won a Wild Card playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

While performing on Another Dooley Noted Podcast, ESPN’s Paul Finebaum was asked by Pat Dooley what his luxury suite at EverBank Stadium will look like when the renovations are done in 2028.

“I’ve actually started negotiating. I’m buying mine from Trevor Lawrence because he won’t be around much longer,” joked Paul Finebaum.

Of course, the joke was in the midst of Jacksonville’s struggles this season, a far cry from the aforementioned 2022 season.

In 2028, Lawrence will be 29 and have two years remaining on the five-year, $275 million contract extension he signed in June.

Lawrence has previously talked about his improvement over time this year.

“From an individual perspective, I think I’ve played better the last few weeks,” Lawrence said, according to the Jaguars’ official website. “There is some correlation between that and the completion rate has increased. I think some of our plans the last few weeks have been really good.

“I feel like I’ve seen it great. I feel like I’ve been pretty accurate the last couple of weeks, fixed a few things, and I also feel like as an offense we’re settling in and it’s just went a bit more smoothly, so that has been good.”
