Jaguars coach Doug Pederson says QB Trevor Lawrence will practice today. He's still in the NFL's concussion protocol, and must clear to travel to Tampa tomorrow.

Lawrence is trending in the right direction, and would be a much better signal-caller for the Jaguars skill positions in fantasy. If he were to play, he'd have a great matchup against the Buccaneers secondary and would be a fringe QB1 for Week 16.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was placed into the concussion protocol after Sunday night's 23-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens at EverBank Stadium.

Head coach Doug Pederson said Lawrence was hurt on one of his three scrambles on the Jaguars' final possession but was unsure which one. This puts his status for Sunday's critical game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in jeopardy. The Jaguars, Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts are tied atop the AFC South at 8-6, the story pointed out. As we've stated before, the trend is players tend to miss a week of action when placed in protocol. Lawrence owners may want to start coming up with a backup plan now.

Lawrence performed fine while dealing with his ankle injury in Week 13, scoring 17.4 fantasy points on a 257-3-3 stat line. He and his ankle will have a slightly easier matchup against the Ravens this week, which puts him on the fringe of the QB1/2 considerations.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said Trevor Lawrence will be questionable & game-time decision for Sunday vs. Browns.

Lawrence moved around a little at practice yesterday & will today. Pederson said he’s “optimistic” for this weekend & talked Lawrence’s history of playing the week after an injury.

It would seem that Lawrence is trending in the right direction, but you have to have a contingency plan in place leading up to kickoff. Luckily it is a 1:00 game, so you won't have to wait through a chunk of the slate before we have our answer.

Jaguars’ HC Doug Pederson said QB Trevor Lawrence will not practice today.

Considering he couldn't put any weight on his ankle just two days ago, we shouldn't expect Lawrence to hit the practice field any time this week, which puts his Week 14 availability in question. Though C.J. Beathard is a perfectly acceptable backup quarterback, he would be in line to take on a very tough Browns defense, which pushes him out of fantasy consideration.

Good news for Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence avoids season-ending injury so even if he misses time he’ll be back.

Wolfe said Lawrence tried his best to walk off after ankle injury and avoid the cart, then later in locker room he tried to stand on his injured ankle before leaving in a walking boot and crutches, Wolfe's post went on to say. There is still no timetable for a Lawrence return, but owners should at least prepare to be without him in the short term. A return this season may not necessarily help fantasy owners if Lawrence is out for multiple weeks, which at this point seems to be possible. In the meantime, Beathard will get the start.

After exiting Monday night’s game in the fourth quarter and not returning, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence could miss more than that.

Per multiple reports, Lawrence has a sprained ankle. Which means that initial testing showed no broken bones. He’ll have more testing on Tuesday.

More tests will take place today on Lawrence. Obviously, the type of sprain will be critical to how much time he misses, if any. The extent of any ligament damage will also be key. The story said earlier this year, he suffered a knee injury but missed no games. If he has to miss time, Beathard would get the call.

Jaguars will work out quarterback Trevor Lawrence before tonight’s game to determine whether or not he can play versus the Saints with his knee sprain, per source. “It could easily be a game-time decision,” the source added. If Lawrence cannot play, C.J. Beathard would start.

Beathard is a capable backup, with 12 starts under his belt dating back to the 2017-2020 seasons with the 49ers. While you shouldn't feel compelled to put him in any fantasy lineups, he would hopefully not sink the pass-catchers too far if he is called upon for Week 7. Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk can still be considered low-end WR2s, while Evan Engram is a low-end TE1.

Of course the timing for Lawrence is against him because of a Thursday night game against the Saints. He was listed as limited on Tuesday and was spotted wearing a knee brace, according to other reports, so it's at least a good sign for a Tuesday report.

He said yesterday that he still plans to play this week, but Trevor Lawrence was not on the practice field today. Something to keep an eye on.

C.J. Beathard is the only other quarterback on the active roster so it will be quite telling if the Jaguars elevate E.J. Perry from their practice squad. Larence is set up for a juicy matchup against a lacking Titans defense, so it would be a bummer if he is forced to sit this one out. Beathard last started a game in the final week of the 2020 season, throwing for 273-1-0 with the 49ers.
