Can Jacksonville Hold Steady with Mac Jones in the Spotlight?

Uncertain Status for Week 10

Trevor Lawrence’s recent shoulder injury has put the Jacksonville Jaguars on alert as they prepare to face the Minnesota Vikings. With the star quarterback’s availability uncertain, Jacksonville has signed backup C.J. Beathard and now looks to Mac Jones, acquired in an offseason trade, to potentially step in if Lawrence is unable to play.

Weighing Health Over Risks

Head coach Doug Pederson remains cautious, indicating that Lawrence’s health is the top priority. In the meantime, Jones offers a solid option, bringing playoff experience and reliability that gives the Jaguars flexibility. For now, the team aims to avoid pushing Lawrence, prioritizing long-term stability over immediate gains.
