Trevor Lawrence on 'pitch count' as Jaguars optimistic on QB - ESPN

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will be limited in the spring as he continues to recover from surgery to repair the AC joint in his left shoulder and is on schedule to be fully cleared by the time training camp begins.

Jaguars coach Liam Coen said there isn't yet a set plan for how much throwing Lawrence will do, but Lawrence is being monitored by vice president of player health and performance Jeff Ferguson and Will Wynkoop, his personal strength coach, as the offseason program progresses.

In terms of the where he has to get to, because he has little touch points he needs to reach before he can obviously get out onto the grass and do it full speed, everything's moving forward. He feels really good right now, so excited about that.»

Lawrence underwent surgery on Dec. 17 and was in a sling until late January. He said Wednesday that he has no deadline in mind for when he wants to be completely cleared.

«We don't play a game until this fall, so obviously I'm going to be ready sooner than that, so I'm very optimistic I'll be perfectly good for the season,» he said. "… I'm throwing and obviously I'm kind of progressing and working my way up further distance, more throws, just trying to be smart and not just jump off into the deep end right away. Just trying to work up to it."

Lawrence injured his shoulder against Philadelphia on Nov. 3, sat out the next two games, and returned to start the Dec. 1 game against Houston. He suffered a concussion in that game and didn't play again in 2024. He had to clear concussion protocol, which he did on
