Trevor Lawrence isn’t planning to miss a primetime Thursday night football game for the suddenly red-hot Jaguars.
The third-year quarterback was limited in practice on Tuesday with a knee sprain, but said that he’s doing everything possible to get back to full strength for the Jaguars as they prepare for a trip to New Orleans on Thursday night.
Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Lawrence was “day to day” and his decision on who would start would come at “7:20″ on Thursday night. That’s the kickoff time in the Central time zone in New Orleans. Lawrence missed two games at Clemson due to COVID-19 protocol in 2020. During his freshman season in 2018, Lawrence sustained a neck injury before halftime against Syracuse and didn’t return. He was back the following game against Wake Forest.
If there’s apprehension about playing Lawrence before he’s healed up, it’s certainly warranted. New Orleans plays on a turf field and there is plenty of data available that suggest synthetic surfaces are more unforgiving and potentially less safe than natural surfaces like grass., injury rates on synthetic surfaces were higher last year than on natural grass.
