Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will not practice on Wednesday as he begins Week 14 in the NFL’s concussion protocol, Jacksonville head coach Doug Pederson told reporters Wednesday.
Lawrence entered the concussion protocol after taking an illegal hit by Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair in Jacksonville’s 23-20 loss to Houston on Sunday, leading to skirmishes between the teams. The NFL suspended Al-Shaair for three games without pay on Tuesday.
Mac Jones replaced Lawrence at quarterback for the Jaguars and finished the game 20-of-32 passing for 235 yards with two touchdowns.
Lawrence returned to action against Houston after missing Jacksonville’s last two games with an AC joint sprain in his left, non-throwing shoulder. Jones completed 31-of-51 passes for 249 yards with three interceptions and a fumble in those games, losses to the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.
Lawrence is 172-of-284 passing for 2,045 yards with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 10 games this season. He has added 119 yards and three touchdowns rushing.
Jacksonville’s Week 14 matchup with the Tennessee Titans is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET Sunday, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn.
