The Jaguars are gearing up for a crucial showdown against the Titans this Sunday, and the stakes are high. If they want to clinch the AFC South, a victory is imperative, and having star quarterback Trevor Lawrence back in action would undoubtedly boost their chances.
Unfortunately, Lawrence, who sat out for the first time in his career last Sunday against the Panthers, is dealing with some health issues. The talented quarterback was limited in practice on Wednesday due to a right shoulder injury, which he sustained in a Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers. To add to the concerns, it was revealed that Lawrence is also nursing a left finger injury, a detail that wasn’t mentioned in the previous week’s report.

The Jaguars’ path to division glory is straightforward – a win against the Titans on Sunday would secure the AFC South title. However, there’s still a chance to make the playoffs even without winning the division. The simplest and most direct route to the postseason is clear: triumph over the Titans and claim the AFC South crown.
In Lawrence’s absence last week, backup quarterback C.J. Beathard stepped in and led the Jaguars to victory against the Panthers. Nevertheless, the team and its fans undoubtedly hope to see Lawrence back on the field, as his presence could be a game-changer in this crucial matchup against the Titans.
