Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence predicted Tuesday that his status for Thursday night would likely be a game-day decision. That appears to be just the case.<\/p>\n
Lawrence is officially questionable for the Jaguars’ road game against the New Orleans Saints.<\/p>\n
In a Week 6 win over the Indianapolis Colts, Lawrence tweaked his left knee. Though he avoided a major injury, the ailment could still knock out Lawrence for at least one game, which would be a first in his two-plus-season career.<\/p>\n
Heading into Thursday, Lawrence has made 40 straight starts since he was drafted No. 1 overall by the Jags in 2021. Whether he makes it to No. 41 is now in question.<\/p>\n
“I’m optimistic, but of course we’re gonna have to make that decision Thursday and we’ll go from there,” Lawrence said on Tuesday. “Right now is not the day to do that.”<\/p>\n
If Lawrence can’t make it, veteran C.J. Beathard would make his 13th career start, but his first for Jacksonville. All his previous starts came with the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville is riding a three-game winning streak into Thursday, but not having its Pro Bowl quarterback would be a massive blow.<\/p>\n
The Jaguars (4-2) and Saints (3-3) kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video.<\/p>\n
