Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence to undergo tests on injured shoulder - ESPN

TAMPA — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will undergo further testing on his injured right shoulder Monday, which leaves his status for Sunday's critical game against the Carolina Panthers in doubt.

«It's bothering me,» Lawrence said after the Jaguars' 30-12 loss to Tampa at Raymond James Stadium. «Hopefully nothing major but, yeah, it's bugging me right now.»

Lawrence was hurt when he stretched and dove for a first down on the sideline on a fourth-and-1 play late in the third quarter. He was shoved by Bucs linebacker Yaya Diaby as he was diving, landed on his right shoulder out of bounds and slid into the Bucs' bench area.

Lawrence stayed in the game to finish out the drive, completing 4 of 5 passes, including an 18-yarder to Calvin Ridley for a touchdown.

«When I landed I knew something was off,» Lawrence said. «And the next play it kind of hurts to throw. I wanted to finish the drive out and we were able to get some points, and then on the two-point [conversion attempt] could tell by the way I threw it I couldn't really get my shoulder up good enough to really keep playing.

»I would've loved to have stayed in but just kind of hurting everybody at that point if I do, so they made the call to just take a seat the rest of the night."

Backup C.J. Beathard finished the game and completed 11 of 15 passes for 94 yards and a touchdown. Lawrence had completed 18 of 30 passes for 213 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions and lost a fumble before he left the game. Per ESPN Stats & Information, this was Lawrence's eighth career game with three-plus turnovers, which is three more than any other player since Lawrence entered the NFL in 2021. Buffalo's Josh Allen and New England's Mac Jones have five games
