Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence expected to miss game against Vikings due to shoulder injury.
Why it matters: Lawrence's absence could significantly impact the Jaguars' offensive performance and their chances of securing a victory against the Vikings.
What's new: Quarterback Trevor Lawrence is expected to sit out the upcoming game against the Minnesota Vikings due to a left shoulder injury sustained during last week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Yes, but: The Jaguars have a backup plan in place with Mac Jones set to start if Lawrence is unable to play. However, this will only be the second game Lawrence has missed since being drafted first overall in 2021.
What to watch: The Jaguars will need Jones to step up and showcase his abilities as he takes over the starting role in Lawrence's absence.
What's next: The team remains uncertain about Lawrence's return for the following game against the Detroit Lions. They may choose to give him an additional week of rest with the bye week approaching.
The bottom line: Lawrence's injury presents a challenge for the Jaguars, who will rely on their backup quarterback to lead the team in a crucial matchup against the Vikings. Additionally, wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. and Gabe Davis, both listed as questionable, are expected to be available, providing some support for the passing game.
