Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will miss his second consecutive game because of an injury to his left, non-throwing shoulder. Coach Doug Pederson ruled Lawrence out on Wednesday and said Mac Jones will start at Detroit (8-1) on Sunday. Lawrence took a hit to his left shoulder while scrambling at Philadelphia on Nov. 3. Instead of sliding.
Jones made his first start in nearly a year last week and completed 14 of 22 passes for 111 yards, with three sacks and three turnovers. Jones had two interceptions and a fumble in the fourth quarter. The Jaguars (2-8) finished with 143 yards, the fifth-lowest total in franchise history. After the Jaguars play the Lions, they will have a bye week. This means Lawrence will have a full three weeks to recover before they play Houston. Pederson says Lawerance has to be in practice all week to be effective during the game.
The Lions, on the other hand, are missing Sam Laporta, who plays a big part in their offense, Taylor Decker, who also has a big impact, Malcolm Rodriguez, Brodric Martain, Ifeatu Melifonwu, and Emmanuel Mosely. Just like the Jaguars, the Lions are missing some guys, so hopefully, it will make it an interesting game to watch.
