The Jacksonville Jaguars are dealing with quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s entry into concussion protocol. This development comes on the heels of their 23-7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Interestingly, Lawrence completed the game despite the suspected concussion, but a new issue has come up for the side.

The concussion is believed to have occurred in a fourth-quarter play, which was noted by Head Coach Doug Pederson. This incident raises a concerning pattern. Why? Because it was the second health issue for Lawrence within three weeks. The Jaguars are already struggling with a streak of three consecutive losses and because of this, they again find themselves in a precarious position.

Due to Lawrence’s absence, the team’s next game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is also in jeopardy. The team’s future and performance are shrouded in uncertainty. Will he be available for the forthcoming games? Time will answer that question for the teams. The next game will be even more difficult for the Jaguars, as the Buccaneers are coming off a stunning win.
