Jaguars' Lawrence feeling 'good' despite knee injury vs. Colts
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said he's doing fine despite suffering a knee injury late in Sunday's 37-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
"Feel pretty good, walking around alright, but want to get it checked out before saying anything. It's a little bruised," Lawrence said postgame, according to Stuart Webber of ActionNewsJax.
The star passer added that he felt a "discomfort" when he was taken down while being sacked in the final minutes of the game, per ESPN's Michael DiRocco. He'll have his knee checked out Sunday night.
Big sack from Samson Ebukam. Trevor Lawrence came up limping after the play. Hope he's alright would be a shame for him to get hurt ahead by multiple scores with 3 minutes to play. #Colts#ForTheShoe#Jaguars#DUUUVAL#INDvsJAX pic.twitter.com/hoeepfIvv2

The Jaguars ruled Lawrence as questionable to return minutes later. Backup quarterback C.J. Beathard took the field for Jacksonville to kneel and run out the clock on the game's final plays.
Lawrence finished Week 6 with 20 completions on 30 attempts for 181 yards and two touchdowns against one interception, helping the Jaguars earn their third straight win to move to 4-2 this season.
Jacksonville visits the New Orleans Saints on Thursday in Week 7. The AFC South team then travels to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers before going on a bye.
