Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence was limited in Wednesday’s practice and his status for Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings is unclear.
Head coach Doug Pederson said Lawrence is “sore” with an “upper-body injury,” that is specifically a left shoulder issue according to multiple reports.
The Jaguars (2-7) are at home Sunday to face the Minnesota Vikings (6-2), but Pederson could not promise Lawrence will be on the field.
“Can’t answer that,” he said. “Can’t answer that today, not sitting here Wednesday.”
Backup Mac Jones worked with the first-team offense on Wednesday.
Lawrence has 11 touchdowns and six interceptions this season. His injury came to light on the same day Jacksonville signed C.J. Beathard off of the Miami Dolphins’ practice squad. Beathard was cut by Jacksonville at the end of training camp with an injury settlement. He spent the 2021-23 seasons as the No. 2 quarterback behind Lawrence.
Beathard, 30, has appeared in 32 NFL games since San Francisco selected him in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He has a 3-10 record as a starter with the 49ers and Jaguars (2021-23) and has completed 60.4 percent of his pass attempts for 3,886 yards with 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.
