Trevor Lawrence could miss the rest of the season with a sprained shoulder

The Jacksonville Jaguars may not have quarterback Trevor Lawrence for more than just this week.

Lawrence is already out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings and could miss the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury he suffered last week.

The Athletic reports that Lawrence is suffering from a severe ACL sprain and that could lead to Mac Jones taking over at quarterback and ending the regular season for the 2-7 Jags.

Lawrence suffered an injury to his left non-throwing shoulder in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Lawrence was listed as a limited participant in practice this week, although Jones took all the snaps with the first-team offense.

Lawrence, the No. 1 pick in the 2021 draft, has thrown for 2,004 yards with 11 touchdowns and six interceptions this season.

Jones, also a first-round pick in 2021, played his first three years with the New England Patriots before moving to the Jaguars this offseason. He has only taken 16 snaps this season.
