JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — In a major setback for the Jacksonville Jaguars, quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been ruled out for the second consecutive game due to a lingering injury to his left, non-throwing shoulder. This news comes as a significant blow to the team and its fans, who were eagerly looking forward to Lawrence's return to the field.
Lawrence initially suffered the injury in a game earlier this season, and despite receiving treatment and resting the affected area, the Jaguars' medical team feels that it's not yet fully healed. As a result, Lawrence will be forced to sit out the upcoming game against the Detroit Lions, leaving backup quarterback CJ Beathard to take the reins once again.
The Jaguars are hopeful that Lawrence will be able to recover fully during the team's upcoming bye week, which will give him some much-needed extra time to rest and rehabilitate the injured shoulder. The team is optimistic that Lawrence will be ready to return to action after the bye, but for now, they're taking a cautious approach to ensure their star quarterback doesn't risk further injury.
This is a tough break for the Jaguars, who were counting on Lawrence to lead them to victory against the Lions. However, the team remains confident in Beathard's ability to fill in and perform well in Lawrence's absence. Beathard has shown flashes of brilliance in the past, and the Jaguars are hopeful that he can do enough to secure a win against the Lions.
The Jaguars will face off against the Lions this weekend, with kickoff slated for [insert time]. While the absence of Lawrence is undoubtedly a significant loss, the team is determined to come out on top and prove that they're more than just a one-man show. Will they be able to overcome the loss of their star quarterback and emerge victorious? Only time will tell.
