Jacksonville, Fl — Not only have the Jaguars lost three straight games but they may have lost quarterback Trevor Lawrence for the foreseeable future. Lawrence will enter concussion protocol after being evaluated Sunday night.
Head Coach Doug Pederson believes Lawrence sustained the concussion on a play in the fourth quarter, although the Jags star QB finished out the game, a 23-7 loss to Baltimore.
If Lawrence is unable to go on Christmas Eve against Tampa Bay, C.J. Beathard would get the start. Bethard has a 2-10 record as a starter. He relieved Lawrence on December 4th when Lawrence suffered a high ankle sprain.
Lawrence has not missed a start during his career. On Sunday night he threw for 264 yards and a touchdown on 25-of-43 passing. But he made a number of costly mistakes and fumbled twice, including one in the fourth quarter that essentially sealed Baltimore’s eighth victory in its last nine games.
Here’s the play earlier in game. No blue tent. Took more hits after this. https://t.co/3Rh1gDc2es

This was frustrated Trevor…no reason to take this hit in this spot of game, especially if he got dinged earlier. https://t.co/2FQ3k5a5HP

Trevor won’t talk because of concussion protocol. We think it happened on the late run play.
