The Jacksonville Jaguars have been dealt a major blow as their star quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, will be missing their upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers due to a shoulder injury. Lawrence, the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, has been a key part of the Jaguars’ offense this season and his absence will be felt.
Lawrence suffered the injury during the team’s Week 4 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was able to finish the game, but the injury was serious enough that he will need to miss at least one game. The Jaguars have not yet announced who will start in place of Lawrence, but it is likely to be veteran Gardner Minshew.
The loss of Lawrence is a huge blow for the Jaguars, as he has been one of the most impressive rookies in the league this season. He has thrown for 1,308 yards and seven touchdowns, while completing 66.7 percent of his passes. He has also shown great poise in the pocket and has been able to make plays with his feet when needed.
The Jaguars will need to find a way to win without their star quarterback, and it won’t be easy. The Panthers are a tough opponent and have one of the best defenses in the league. The Jaguars will need to rely on their running game and defense if they want to have any chance of winning.
It is unclear how long Lawrence will be out for, but it is likely that he will miss at least one more game. The Jaguars will need to find a way to win without him if they want to remain competitive in the AFC South. It will be a tough challenge, but if they can do it, it could be a major boost for their playoff hopes.
