The Jacksonville Jaguars listed quarterback Trevor Lawrence and five other players as questionable for a Week 16 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Earlier in the day Friday, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Lawrence’s chances of playing Sunday are “better than a coin flip.” Still, the third-year quarterback was only a limited participant in practice and he’ll need to be cleared Saturday to come out of the NFL’s concussion protocol in time to play.
Joining Lawrence as questionable for the game are Christian Braswell, Tyson Campbell, Andre Cisco, Zay Jones, and Brenton Strange.

“Brenton [Strange] has been good this week and feels good, so I think he’s good to go,” Pederson said Friday. “Tyson [Campbell] and Cisco had good days yesterday, we’ll get them a bunch of time today and the numbers of reps we have to see where they’re at. Optimistic that they can play.”
Pederson wasn’t as optimistic about Jones, who suffered a hamstring injury in Week 15.
“He is trending well, he’s working off to the side with our trainers and medical staff,” Pederson said. “With a hamstring, it’s a touchy situation and I don’t want to risk anything further as we continue our season, so probably not.”
The Buccaneers ruled out one player, wide receiver Rakim Jarrett, who is still on injured reserve with a designation to return. Another two players, defensive lineman Will Gholston and safety Antoine Winfield Jr., are questionable.
Would say this is a great injury report for the Buccaneers, but Antoine Winfield Jr. as a DNP with a calf injury is concerning. #GoBucs pic.twitter.com/3WifdK3M3T

Winfield earned Pro Bowl honors last year and leads the Buccaneers in both tackles and interceptions this season.
