The Jaguars have placed quarterback Trevor Lawrence on injured reserve, likely ending his season.

Why it matters: The loss of their talented rookie quarterback is a significant blow to the Jaguars and their hopes for the remainder of the season.

  • Lawrence's latest injury is a concussion suffered in a recent game against the Houston Texans.
  • This adds to a list of injuries he has dealt with since Week 6 of the 2023 season, including shoulder, knee, and ankle injuries.

What's new: Lawrence's sixth injury since Week 6 means he will miss at least four games and will likely be out for the remainder of the season.

Yes, but: The Jaguars will now turn to Mac Jones as their starting quarterback, with C.J. Beathard serving as the backup.

What to watch: The performance of Jones as he takes over the starting role and how the team adjusts without Lawrence leading the offense.

What's next: The Jaguars have signed veteran receiver Josh Reynolds off waivers to fill Lawrence's spot on the roster.

  • Reynolds brings experience and depth to the receiving corps, providing another target for Jones.

The bottom line: Lawrence's absence is a significant setback for the Jaguars, who now face the challenge of finishing the season without their promising young quarterback.

  • Lawrence's stats for the season include 2,045 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 10 games played.
