Lawson compiled four tackles (three solo), two passes defended and an interception in a 23-20 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Lawson stepped into a big role for the first time since he joined the Jaguars after being let go by the Raiders earlier in the season. Playing 100 percent of the snaps, with Tyson Campbell out (toe), Lawson took advantage and made an impact. Going into a bye week, and Campbell's status up in the air it's hard to say whether Lawson will receive a more prominent role going forward. He'll try to build on this performance in Week 8 against Seattle.

Lawson signed a contract with the Jaguars on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lawson was cut by the Raiders at the start of the week and didn't take long to latch on with a new team. The 30-year-old was suspended for the first two games of the season for violating the NFL's PED policy, but he should make his season debut for the Jaguars against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Lawson was released by the Raiders on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawson was suspended for the first two games of the year for violating the NFL policy for performance enhancing substances, but he'll be let go now that his suspension is over. Nate Hobbs has started in his place during the first two games of the season and will likely maintain a starting role. However, the Raiders are hopeful that they'll be able to sign Lawson to their practice squad.

Lawson (illness) wasn't listed on Tuesday's injury report, Josh Dubow of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawson missed last week's loss to the Chargers due to an illness, but he's been cleared for a Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins. The veteran cornerback should return to a starting role immediately. Through 12 games, Lawson has given up 374 yards and five touchdowns in coverage.

Lawson (illness) is inactive for Thursday's matchup game the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
After earning his eighth start of the 2020 campaign Week 14 against the Colts, Lawson popped up on the injury report Wednesday with a reported illness. It's since been confirmed that the issue is serious enough to hand Lawson his second absence of the season, thrusting Isaiah Johnson into a more integral role at cornerback. With Damon Arnette and Johnathan Abram both inactive due to concussions, plus Jeff Heath (concussion) residing on IR, the Raiders' secondary is hurting heading into Thursday night's matchup.

Lawson (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Chargers, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawson missed Wednesday's practice after falling ill. He hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, but his status for Thursday's game remains in question. With cornerback Damon Arnette (concussion/neck) and safety Jonathan Abram (concussion/knee) ruled out already, the Raiders' secondary could be in tough shape if Lawson sits out, too. Amik Robinson, Isaiah Johnson and Daryl Worley are candidates to start in Lawson's place if he's inactive.

Lawson had his suspension lifted following Sunday's win over the Panthers, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawson was handed a one-game suspension for "using a helmet that is no longer worn by anyone as a weapon to strike, swing at, or throw at an opponent" during last year's season finale against Denver. Now that he sat out of Sunday's season opener, he's eligible to return for Week 2's matchup versus the Saints, but he may stick to special teams to start off.
