Whether Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns is likely to be a game-time decision, coach Doug Pederson said Friday.
Lawrence, 24, sustained a high ankle sprain during the team’s 34-31 overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday and returned to practice Thursday in a limited capacity.
“He’s feeling good, we’ll see,” Pederson said Friday. “He moved around a little bit yesterday, we’ll see how he does today. Kind of base it on medical staff, how Trevor feels and if he can go or not.”
Lawrence was expected to practice on Friday, and Pederson said his quarterback would be listed as questionable against the Browns on the team’s injury report.
Lawrence has 3,004 yards passing, 14 touchdowns, seven interceptions and a 94.4 passer rating on the season. He also has 248 yards rushing with four scores on the ground.
Should Lawrence be unable to play, veteran backup C.J. Beathard likely would start for Jacksonville (8-4) at Cleveland (7-5).
