Trevor Lawrence sprained his ankle on Monday Night Football, and we have more on what’s next for Trevor and the Jaguars.
Dr. Chao, a former NFL team doctor, appeared on the Bleav in Jaguars podcast and discussed the status of Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s injuries.
With Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson confirming that C. J. Beathard would be taking the majority of practice snaps, worries about Lawrence’s condition have risen to the forefront. Dr. Chao’s opinion sheds light on the problem, giving fans and pundits alike a greater grasp of the team’s quarterback dilemma.
Lawrence’s evident limp in the tunnel, according to Dr. Chao, indicated that the young quarterback was dealing with a serious problem. According to Dr. Chao, swelling in Lawrence’s ankle is to be expected, and even if he were to play, his mobility would be severely hampered.
The decision to prioritize C. J. Beathard in practice raises intriguing issues regarding Lawrence’s health and the team’s intentions. Dr. Chao’s analysis sheds light on the situation. He observes that C. J. Beathard, sans offense, needs more practice time to hone his talents, and that this decision does not necessarily show a lack of faith in Lawrence. Instead, it’s a wise strategy to ensure that the backup quarterback is ready to take over if necessary.
The most pressing concern on every Jaguars fan’s mind is whether Trevor Lawrence will play versus the Browns. Dr. Chao believes Lawrence’s odds of playing on Sunday are practically a coin toss, predicting a 50-50 possibility. He emphasizes that the ultimate decision is dependent on Lawrence’s continuous recuperation and how he progresses leading up to the game.
