Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been limited in practice this week with a shoulder injury, and some questions are now being raised about his status going forward.

Lawrence took a hard hit to his shoulder during the Jaguars’ 28-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Lincoln Financial in Philadelphia, Pa. He remained in the game, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Lawrence is unlikely to play in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Rapoport said that Lawrence and the Jaguars continue to “weigh options for the future,” which has led to speculation that surgery might be a possibility. Former NFL head coach Jay Gruden even said on social media that sources told him Lawrence will undergo surgery. Rapoport said no surgery has been scheduled but it is one option that is being considered — either in the near future or down the road.

The Jaguars fell to 2-7 with their loss to the Eagles. Lawrence has thrown for 2,004 yards, 11 touchdowns and 6 interceptions during what has been a disappointing season. While the injury is not to his throwing shoulder, Jacksonville probably wants to play it safe.

Lawrence signed a massive 5-year, $275 million extension with the Jaguars during the offseason. The team has invested heavily in him, so it makes sense that they are thinking about the shoulder injury from a long-term perspective.
