An ex Clemson Tigers quarterback will not play this Sunday in the NFL.

Jacksonville Jaguars Starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence will not play this weekend as the team prepares to face off Minnesota Vikings. He will be inactive due to a left shoulder injury.

Conformable ESPN Insider Adam Schefter, the injury may keep Lawrence from missing multiple weeks in what is already a lost season for the organization.

“The question is, will Lawrence be back for next Sunday vs lions or if the team gives him another week off, with a bye at Jacksonville the following week,” Schefter writes.

The former Tiger had a difficult season. The Jaguars are one of the worst teams in the NFL with a 2-7 record. He is currently ninth in the league with 2,004 passing yards and tied for tenth with 11 touchdowns on the season.

With the Jaguars already several games out of the final wild-card spot in the AFC, there should be no rush to bring Lawrence back as he is still seen as the franchise quarterback. The organization is close to reaching the top of the 2025 NFL Draft and could use this pick to select someone to help strengthen the weapons around him so the team can return to the postseason for the first time since 2022.

Lawrence is one of the best quarterbacks to wear a Clemson Tigers uniform in program history. He led Clemson to a national championship as a true freshman in 2018. Over his three seasons under center in Death Valley, he had a 34-2 record as a starter, making him the winningest starting quarterback in history the program.

He threw for more than 10,000 yards with 90 touchdowns during his collegiate career, which helped land him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Jaguars.

Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Mac Jones will start in his place on Sunday. Jones, who has 42 games as a starter during his time with the New England Patriots, is set to make his first start as a Jaguar under head coach Doug Pederson.

The game is scheduled to begin at 1 pm ET at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville and will be available on FOX.
