  • Report: Lawrence avoided season-ending injury
    NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe reports Trevor Lawrence avoided a season-ending ankle injury.

    Advice: Lawrence bent back awkwardly in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s loss to the Bengals and proceeded to limp for several minutes to the Jacksonville locker room. Wolfe said Lawrence “tried to stand on ankle before leaving in walking boot/crutches.” He’ll likely miss multiple weeks with the apparently serious ankle injury but should be back in 2023, per Wolfe. Until then, CJ Beathard — who acquitted himself well against the Bengals — will be under center for the Jaguars. It’s a downgrade for all fantasy-relevant Jaguars besides, perhaps, Evan Engram, who should absorb more check downs in the coming weeks. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago

  • May have avoided serious injury
    The Jaguars are optimistic that Lawrence (ankle) may have avoided a serious injury after departing Monday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Bengals early, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Lawrence is set to undergo further medical testing Tuesday, so it shouldn't be long before Jacksonville releases an official update on the star quarterback's health. He exited Monday's game early after LT Walker Little (hamstring) stepped on his right ankle, followed by a Cincinnati defender bending the quarterback awkwardly. C.J. Beathard then stepped into the lineup, and he would presumably be called upon to start Week 14 versus the Browns if Lawrence ultimately can't go. Rotowire.com Today, 7:06 am

  • Elite numbers in primetime upset
    Browning completed 32 of 37 passes for 354 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Bengals' 34-31 overtime win over the Jaguars on Monday night. He also rushed twice for 22 yards and another score and brought in his only target for minus-7 yards.

    Advice: Browning was near perfect in a performance no one could have seen coming, with the fourth-year pro averaging 9.6 yards per attempt and connecting with eight different targets on the night. Browning's one touchdown toss, a 76-yard pass to Ja'Marr Chase down the left sideline early in the third quarter, broke a 14-14 tie at the time, and the emerging signal-caller added a one-yard rushing touchdown early in the final period before eventually calmly leading a game-winning 12-play drive in overtime. Browning has completed a jaw-dropping 81.0 percent of his passes over his first two starts while compiling three total touchdowns and only one interception in those contests, affording him an avalanche of momentum heading into Week 14 home matchup against the Colts.

  • C.J. Beathard falls just short in relief duties
    C.J. Beathard completed 9-of-10 passes for 63 yards in the Jaguars’ 34-31, Week 13 loss to the Bengals, adding seven yards on his lone carry.

    Advice: Beathard came on in relief of the injured Trevor Lawrence late in the fourth quarter, leading a game-tying drive on a last-minute field goal by kicker Brandon McManus. The Jaguars would win the toss in overtime and receive the ball first but would ultimately fail to convert a third-and-long situation near midfield before watching as Jake Browning led the Bengals into field goal range to snatch away the victory. Beathard could be looking at a couple of starts for the Jaguars down the stretch depending on the severity of Lawrence’s ankle injury. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:15 pm

  • Relieves injured Lawrence in loss
    Beathard completed nine of 10 passes for 63 yards and rushed once for seven yards, without a touchdown or turnover, after replacing the injured Trevor Lawrence (ankle) in the fourth quarter of Monday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Bengals.

    Advice: Beathard immediately put the ball on the ground at the end of a scramble on his first play after entering the game with 2:28 remaining, but a teammate managed to jump on top of it and keep alive a drive that culminated in a game-tying 40-yard field goal. The Jaguars won the overtime coin toss and got the ball, but that drive stalled out before the Bengals kicked a game-winning field goal on their ensuing possession. Lawrence hasn't missed a game since being drafted first overall in 2021, but that streak's in jeopardy of ending in Week 14 against the Browns, so Beathard could be called upon to make his first start since he started the final two games of 2020 for the 49ers.

  • Jake Browning near perfect in Week 13 OT win
    Jake Browning completed 32-of-37 passes for 354 yards and one touchdown in the Bengals’ 34-31, Week 13 overtime win over the Jaguars, adding 22 yards and a touchdown on two carries.

    Advice: The Cincinnati offense started things out with a barrage of short passing but gradually opened up their aerial offense as the night progressed. Things erupted when Browning hit a streaking Ja’Marr Chase down the sideline on the team’s first possession of the second half for a 76-yard score to give the Bengals their first lead of the game. The two teams traded blows the rest of the way before a fourth quarter injury to opposing quarterback Trevor Lawrence allowed the Bengals to control the game throughout the fourth quarter, ultimately pushing the two teams to overtime. After losing the coin flip in the extra frame, the Bengals defense made a key stop near midfield to give Browning the ball and set up the game-winning field goal by Evan McPherson. Browning looked much more in control of the offense in his second NFL start, notably leaning on his alpha wide receiver throughout. The Bengals get a quick turnaround before facing the Colts at home in Week 14. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:55 pm

  • Set for MRI on Tuesday
    Larence (ankle) will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Lawrence exited Monday's game due to a left ankle sprain that he sustained when Jaguars tackle Walker Little (hamstring) stepped on the quarterback's right ankle, which was followed not long after by a Bengals defender bending him backward. No further information on the severity of the injury is expected until Lawrence is evaluated Tuesday. C.J. Beathard replaced Lawrence under center after the latter exited the contest and presumably will do so going forward if needed. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:50 pm

  • Heads to locker room
    Lawrence is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Bengals due to an ankle injury, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Advice: Lawrence was helped to the locker room by Jacksonville's training staff after Jaguars tackle Walker Little stepped on the quarterback's right ankle and he was bent backward by a Bengals defender in quick succession. It remains to be seen if Lawrence will be available to reenter the game. C.J. Beathard will fill in under center as long as Lawrence is sidelined. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:57 pm

  • Trevor Lawrence helped to locker room Monday
    Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (ankle) was taken to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Week 13 against the Bengals.

    Advice: Lawrence appeared to have his right leg stepped on near the ankle by his left tackle and was simultaneously bent backwards on a sack in the fourth quarter. He tried to get up before immediately collapsing to the ground in obvious pain. Further word on the franchise quarterback’s injury will come after the game. Lawrence left after completing 22-of-29 passes for 258 yards and two touchdowns in the Jaguars’ Week 13 loss to the Bengals, adding eight yards and a touchdown on five carries.
