Lawrence (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday and isn't expected to do much throwing this week, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Lawrence still hopes to play against the Panthers on Sunday, his plan for the week of practice will be more about rest and less about testing his injured shoulder. Lawrence's status could come down to a game-day decision as a result, though he acknowledged Wednesday that he's "still pretty sore" and "kind of working through the beginning stages" of his recovery from an AC joint sprain. C.J. Beathard replaced Lawrence at quarterback this past Sunday after the latter injured his throwing shoulder late in the third quarter of a 30-12 loss to Tampa Bay. Lawrence attended Wednesday's practice while donning shorts and a hoodie as Beathard worked as the first quarterback through drills.
