ANALYSISLawrence is in the concussion protocol after being carted off the field in Sunday's loss to the Texans following a vicious forearm to the head from linebacker
Azeez Al-Shaair. The 2-10 Jaguars are in last place in the AFC South and all but eliminated from postseason contention, so it may make sense for the team to take a cautious approach with Lawrence, who also is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his non-throwing shoulder that could require offseason surgery.
Mac Jones replaced Lawrence in the second quarter and completed 20 of 32 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns in relief, almost leading a comeback after the Jaguars were down 23-6 in the fourth quarter.
