Trevor Lawrence Enters Concussion Protocol Sunday Night

Trevor Lawrence Enters Concussion Protocol Sunday Night

11 months ago

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said after Week 15's rough 23-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion) has entered the NFL's concussion protocol. It rubs salt into the wound and exacerbates an already frustrating night in Jacksonville. Lawrence's status suddenly becomes very much in limbo for a crucial Week 16 matchup with the crosstown Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as he now needs to pass each step of the protocol for a green light to suit up next Sunday. Lawrence was still able to close out Sunday night, completing 25-of-43 passes for 264 yards and one touchdown with four carries for 41 yards. Losing the 24-year-old star signal-caller for even one game, however, would be a massive setback for the 8-6 Jaguars, who need a win in the worst way after losing three straight games amid what's escalated into a heated AFC South race. C.J. Beathard would figure to get the controls under center against the Bucs if Lawrence is not cleared to play.
