Jaguars Place Trevor Lawrence on Injured Reserve

The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed quarterback Trevor Lawrence on injured reserve following a concussion sustained during a hit by Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. This decision is likely to end Lawrence's season, as the Jaguars are currently 2-10 and effectively out of playoff contention. Lawrence suffered a violent hit that not only resulted in the concussion but also caused a sideline brawl, highlighting the dangerous nature of the play. Jaguars' management is now considering shutting down Lawrence for the remainder of the season to prioritize his health, especially given his history of injuries, including a sprained shoulder. Head coach Doug Pederson emphasized the need to balance team morale with the long-term health of their franchise quarterback. The situation remains fluid, with updates expected as the team navigates the final games of the season.
