Trevor Lawrence might be facing a timeout with a high ankle sprain, but don’t count him out for the big dance against the Cleveland Browns just yet. The Jacksonville Jaguars dropped the bombshell after an overtime thriller with the Bengals, spilling the beans on their QB sensation’s day-to-day status. No surgery playbook in sight for now, but with a high-ankle sprain, the odds of Lawrence missing the gridiron showdown are as real as a goal-line stand.
While recovering from a high-ankle sprain is like trying to convert a 4th and 20, there’s still hope in the huddle. Trevor Lawrence is staring down an uphill battle, and though the clock is ticking faster than a 2-minute drill, this quarterback is ready to call an audible on fate.

Lawrence’s Ironman streak: Three seasons, zero games missed. Can he keep it alive?
In a tale of two stories, Trevor Lawrence lit up the night, slinging passes like a seasoned gunslinger. 22 of 29 completions, 259 yards, two touchdowns, and a bonus score on the ground. But in the wild jungle of the NFL, the Jaguars are grappling with more than just one injury. Enter Christian Kirk, the cat-quick receiver, making moves and turning heads until a nasty core muscle injury threw a yellow flag on his game. The first offensive play and a 26-yard gain turned into a gingerly stroll to the locker room.
Surgery talk is on the table, and the Jags will be missing Kirk’s electrifying presence for “some time.” It’s a blow to the prowling cats, making Lawrence’s untouchable streak all the more critical. With a record of 8-4, the Jaguars can’t afford to bench their star quarterback, especially when Lawrence hasn’t missed a game in three seasons. So, keep your jerseys on and your Terrible Towels waving, because Touchdown Trevor might just make a comeback that even the Dawg Pound won’t see coming!
