According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini, Lawrence may miss the rest of the season with his shoulder injury.
As expected, QB Trevor Lawrence is out today and could miss the rest of the season because of a serious AC joint sprain, sources tell @MikeSilver and me. The QB is still gathering information about his options.

With Lawrence set to miss his first game of the season, the Jaguars will start former first-round pick Mac Jones in his place on Sunday.
Oddsmakers aren’t sold on the Jaguars competing in this game without their star quarterback, as they’ve set Jacksonville as a seven-point home dog in this matchup.
At just 2-7, it’s hard to trust the Jaguars, even though they’re 5-4 against the spread.
Mac Jones Prop Bets for Week 10 vs. Vikings
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook.
- Passing Yards: 206.5 (Over -110/Under -120)
- Passing Touchdowns: 1.5 (Over +200/Under -270)
- Interceptions: 0.5 (Over -170/Under +130)
Jones isn’t expected to have a massive game on Sunday, as oddsmakers are projecting that he’ll throw an interception and that he’ll finish with one or fewer touchdown passes.
If you’re expecting Jacksonville to fall behind in this game, taking the OVER on Jones’ passing yards could be a solid bet. Minnesota has allowed the 10th most passing yards in the league this season, and the game script could lead to a pass-happy attack from the Jags on Sunday.
