Jacksonville Jaguars DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (shoulder) was added to the team's Week 14 injury report on Thursday after he took part in a limited session of preparation for the upcoming game on Sunday versus the division-rival Tennessee Titans. It's unclear yet how serious of a shoulder injury Washington is dealing with and if it will affect his availability for the Week 14 contest. Mid-week injuries are usually never a good sign, but the 22-year-old's practice status on Friday will tell us more. He was heavily involved in last week's loss to the division-rival Houston Texans, catching six of his 12 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown. Washington will certainly benefit from more volume in the final five games of the season with Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis done for the year, but how much will the Jags' offense suffer with quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion, shoulder) done for the year?

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion, shoulder), who was put on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, will miss the rest of the season and is expected to have surgery to fix a significant AC joint injury in his left (non-throwing) shoulder in the coming weeks, according to sources. Lawrence is expected to make a full recovery for the 2025 season. In addition to his shoulder ailment, the 25-year-old former first overall pick suffered a concussion on an illegal hit in the Week 13 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans on Sunday. It ends a disappointing fourth season in the NFL, as he'll finish with a 60.6 completion percentage for a career-low 2,045 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 10 starts. While Lawrence should be ready for Week 1 of 2025, he won't be more than a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes. Mac Jones will now start the final five games for the Jags in 2024.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion) was placed on the injured reserve. While Lawrence could return for their final game of the season in Week 18, fantasy managers should not plan on him suiting up as the Jaguars are far from playoff contention and may opt to rest their franchise quarterback. Lawrence sustained this concussion last weekend during their loss to the Houston Texans. Fantasy managers should expect former first-round selection Mac Jones to serve as the QB1 for the remaining five games, with C.J. Beathard serving as the backup. Jones received two starts earlier this season and averaged 124.5 passing yards per game with a 0:3 TD:INT ratio. Jones should only be viewed as a desperation QB2 in deep Superflex formats.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and will not practice on Wednesday. It doesn't come as much of a surprise, as Pederson said earlier this week that the team still hasn't decided if Lawrence will even be able to play again in the final five weeks of the season after suffering a scary concussion in the Week 13 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans on an illegal hit by linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. The 25-year-old former first overall pick stayed down on the ground for a while and had to be carted off the field. Especially at 2-10 on the year, the Jaguars have no incentive to rush their franchise signal-caller back, so Mac Jones is likely to make his third start of the year this Sunday versus the division-rival Tennessee Titans. In addition to a concussion, Lawrence played through a sprained AC joint in his left (non-throwing) shoulder last weekend.

Free-agent quarterback John Wolford is signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars' practice squad on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. The 29-year-old is being picked up following the head injury suffered by franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans. Wolford has played in seven NFL games (all for the Rams), completing 58.7% of his passes for 626 yards, one touchdown, and five interceptions. Mac Jones will likely start as long as Lawrence is out of action, and veteran C.J. Beathard is in the No. 2 QB role. It would be a surprise if Wolford sees any game action this season, but you never know. For now, this move can be ignored for fantasy football.
