Doug Pederson: Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence Is Day-to-Day With Knee Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is "day-to-day" with a knee injury, head coach Doug Pederson said on Monday.

Lawrence left Sunday's 37-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts with a knee injury after rolling out and taking a sack with just over 3:00 left in the game, but the third-year signal-caller said after the game that he was "feeling OK."

Pederson said Lawrence was sore and deferred to the team's medical staff when asked about his MRI results. When asked if Lawrence could potentially miss Thursday's game vs. the New Orleans Saints, Pederson simply said he is "day-to-day". 

Pederson alluded to the possibility of backup quarterback C.J. Beathard getting starters reps this week, though the schedule would obviously be impacted by the short week. 

Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, has started 42 consecutive games for the Jaguars and has never missed a game with injury. 

"I'm going to get it checked out tonight and see kind of what's going on. I feel pretty good. I'm walking around all right. Can't really say much now. Want to make sure everything is checked out before," Lawrence said after the game.

"Yeah, just felt something, you know, just some discomfort in my knee when I went down. I don't know if it was twisted or landed on or what. I kind of felt it right away. Put a little pressure on it. Realized I could get up. So I was just trying to get up and get off the field. Yeah, that's all it was there."
