Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will start Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints. The third-year quarterback, who was listed as questionable for Week 7, was absent from the Jaguars’ list of inactive players.

The other notable omission from the list is right guard Brandon Scherff, who was also questionable.
Lawrence, 24, suffered a left knee injury in the final minutes of the Jaguars’ 37-20 win against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. On Tuesday, he practiced on a limited basis while wearing a brace on his injured knee that he later described as “not comfortable, in general.”
During a pregame warmup Thursday, Lawrence was wearing the brace and didn’t show any signs that he was struggling to move.
