Trevor Lawrence

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will not play in Week 10 against the Vikings.

Head coach Doug Pederson said as much on Friday morning, so the news isn’t much of a surprise. As Schefter notes, the Jags play the Lions next week and get their bye the following week. One more game off after today would give the young quarterback a lengthy recovery team. With their playoff hopes crushed, it makes sense to give Lawrence all the time he needs. Mac Jones will start in his absence. Jones is not on the streaming radar versus a brutal Minnesota defense.
