Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is expected to return to practice Monday following Jacksonville’s Week 12 bye after missing the team’s last two games with a left shoulder injury, head coach Doug Pederson revealed.
Lawrence did not practice in Week 11 and was ruled out of Jacksonville’s last Sunday matchup with the Detroit Lions that Wednesday. He was a limited practice participant daily in Week 10 but ultimately did not play against the Minnesota Vikings.
“Trevor is going to practice today and then we’ll see where it’s at from there,” Pederson said Monday. “It’ll just be a toleration thing with him.”
Pederson added that the Jaguars would monitor Lawrence’s status over their next two practices — Monday and Wednesday, on an altered schedule this week with Thanksgiving on Thursday — before determining his availability for Jacksonville’s Week 13 matchup with the Houston Texans.
“Well, we’ll find out today. We’ll see where Trevor is at today. Then he’s got tomorrow off, come in and get treatment. And you know, [we will] see where he’s at on Wednesday, how he feels,” Pederson explained.
“He’s feeling better today, so that’s positive.”
Lawrence has completed 168-of-274 (61.3%) passes for 2,004 yards with 11 touchdowns and six interceptions in nine starts this season. He has also rushed for three touchdowns.
Mac Jones completed 31-of-51 passes for 249 yards with three interceptions and a fumble in place of Lawrence at quarterback for the Jaguars in their last two games, losses to the Vikings and Lions.
