Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is expected to return to practice Monday following Jacksonville's Week 12 bye after missing the team's last two games with a left shoulder injury, head coach Doug Pederson announced.
Lawrence did not practice in Week 11 and was from Jacksonville's final Sunday game against the Detroit Lions this Wednesday. He had limited daily practice participation in Week 10, but ultimately did not play against the Minnesota Vikings.
“Trevor will practice today and then we’ll see how it goes,” Pederson said Monday. “With him it will just be a matter of toleration.”
Pederson added that the Jaguars would monitor Lawrence's status during their next two practices – Monday and Wednesday, following a modified schedule this week with Thanksgiving on Thursday – before determining his availability for Jacksonville's Week 13 game against the Houston Texans.
“Well, we'll find out today. We'll see where Trevor is today. Then he's free tomorrow, come in and get treated. And you know [we will] See where he is on Wednesday and how he feels,” Pederson explained.
“He’s feeling better today, so that’s positive.”
Lawrence has completed 168 of 274 (61.3%) passes for 2,004 yards with 11 touchdowns and six interceptions in nine starts this season. He also scored three touchdowns.
Mac Jones completed 31 of 51 passes for 249 yards with three interceptions and a fumble in place of Lawrence as the Jaguars' quarterback in the final two games, which they lost to the Vikings and Lions.
