Former Clemson quarterback and Jacksonville Jaguars starter Trevor Lawrence had a scary injury Monday night, with head coach Doug Pederson meeting with the media on Tuesday to update the status of their star quarterback.
Lawrence was injured late in the fourth quarter of the Jaguars’ 34-31 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night and was visibly frustrated following the injury. His ankle was stepped on by an offensive lineman, being bent oddly when tackled. No cart came for Lawrence, but he needed help off the field and into the locker room.
“It’s just a right high ankle sprain,” Pederson said Tuesday. “Everything’s stable, everything looks good, and we’ll see where he is here in a couple of days.”
Hopefully, it’s nothing too serious. We will monitor Lawrence’s situation closely as the Jaguars prepare for Cleveland next Sunday for a 1 p.m. kickoff.
