The Detroit Lions host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11, but the Jaguars will not look the same as they typically do. Thanks to an injured shoulder, starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been ruled out for the game by Jaguars coach Doug Pederson.
Lawrence was injured in Jacksonville’s Week 9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He did not play in the Jaguars’ punchless 12-7 loss to the Vikings in Week 10. As was the case in that game, Mac Jones will get the start against the Lions.
While Lawrence’s play has been uneven this season, it’s a significant downgrade to Jones. The former Patriots draft bust completed 14 of his 22 passes for 111 yards against Minnesota, losing a fumble and throwing two interceptions in a game Jacksonville lost despite not allowing a touchdown.
