Lawrence questionable for pivotal Titans clash

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is listed as questionable for Sunday's crucial game against the Tennessee Titans, which will decide the AFC South winner.

Head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Lawrence is progressing well but remains day-to-day and could be a game-time decision, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco.

Lawrence sprained his right AC joint and left finger against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16. The 2021 first overall pick missed the first game of his career the following week, which the Jaguars won 26-0 over the Carolina Panthers. He was a limited participant in practice this week.

C.J. Beathard started against Carolina and will likely line up under center if Lawrence isn’t ready to make his return in the regular-season finale.

"It's feeling better," Lawrence said Wednesday, according to DiRocco. "Certain movements bother (it) more than others. There's some things that I can do and there's some areas where I have totally normal strength and it's functional and all that, but in certain positions, there's some aggravation."

If the Jaguars beat the Titans, they'd secure back-to-back division crowns for the first time since 1998-99. They could still clinch a playoff spot if they lose to Tennessee but would need other results to go in their favor.
