Lawrence will enter the 2024 season without the presence of Calvin Ridley, who is set to sign a four-year, $92 million contract with the Titans, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence suited up for one less game last season after playing all 17 in 2022, but despite Ridley's presence atop the depth chart, he took a step back in terms of passing yards (4,016 vs. 4,113), touchdowns (21 vs. 25), and increased his interception total (14 vs. eight). That said, the loss of Ridley to free agency still represents a knock to Lawrence's prospects for 2024, especially with Zay Jones also being a speculated cap casualty. The addition of Gabe Davis from Buffalo, who joins Christian Kirk (groin), does something to mitigate those concerns, and the Jaguars still have plenty of time to make further moves in free agency or April's draft.

Lawrence completed 29 of 43 passes for 280 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Titans. He added three rushes for 10 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence returned from a one-game absence caused by a shoulder injury and had both good and bad moments in the must-win game. He connected with Calvin Ridley for a 59-yard touchdown early in the second quarter, giving the Jaguars a rare lead during the game. Lawrence's next score didn't come until early in the fourth quarter on a 14-yard toss to Evan Engram. In between, he threw a pair of picks, one which led to a touchdown for the Titans. While he's been forced to play through several injuries this season, Sunday's performance was an illustration of Lawrence's entire year, as he threw 21 touchdowns but also tossed 14 interceptions and lost seven fumbles. With the loss, the Jaguars missed the postseason, a disappointing end to Lawrence's third campaign in the league.

Lawrence (right shoulder/left finger) is active and will start in Sunday's game against the Titans, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the Jaguars needing a win Sunday to claim the AFC South title and earn a trip to the postseason, Lawrence will make his return from a one-game absence to direct the Jacksonville offense. He'll likely be operating at well below 100 percent, after he was listed as a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday while recovering from an AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder as well as an injury to a finger on his non-throwing hand. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Lawrence won't be at risk of reinjury to the shoulder by suiting up Sunday, though he'll have to manage some pain. In his return to action, Lawrence should will get one of his starting receivers in Zay Jones (knee/hamstring) back from a two-game absence, though Christian Kirk (groin) won't suit up despite being activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Lawrence (right shoulder/left finger), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans, is "trending in the right direction" ahead of the contest's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Rapoport, the Jaguars aren't yet certain that Lawrence will be able to play through the AC joint sprain in his throwing shoulder as well as the injury to a finger on his non-throwing hand, but the third-year signal-caller is pushing to play and doesn't appear to be at any risk of reinjury. Instead, Lawrence's availability looks as though it'll hinge on his ability to tolerate the pain, and since the Jaguars can secure the AFC South title with a win Sunday, the expectation is that he'll play even though he's probably well below 100 percent healthy. C.J. Beathard directed the Jacksonville offense in last week's 26-0 win over the Panthers and would be in line to start again Sunday if Lawrence is forced to miss a second straight contest.

Lawrence (right shoulder/left finger) is pushing to play in Sunday's contest against the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The report indicates Lawrence isn't at risk of further injuring his throwing shoulder, so his availability boils down to pain tolerance, which has been a calling card for the third-year starter in his young career. That the Jaguars could also win the AFC South if they were to win also would be an indicator Lawrence will play, but fantasy managers will need to await official confirmation until 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Lawrence (right shoulder/left finger) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, head coach Doug Pederson suggested Friday that a decision on Lawrence's status could go right up to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Ideally, clarity on that front will arrive over the weekend, or when Jacksonville releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's kickoff. If Lawrence is forced to miss a second straight start, C.J. Beathard would draw the assignment in his place.

Head coach Doug Pederson said Friday that a decision on the status of Lawrence (right shoulder/left finger) for Sunday's game against the Titans could come down to a game-time decision, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lawrence was officially listed as a limited practice participant both Wednesday and Thursday and is expected to be deemed questionable ahead of Sunday's game. Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, Pederson noted that Friday will be an important day for the quarterback, who is in line to increase his throwing velocity during the Jaguars' final practice of the week.

Lawrence (right shoulder/left finger) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the first game of his career in last week's 26-0 win over the Panthers, Lawrence has taken a step in the right direction by practicing in a limited fashion in the Jaguars' first two Week 18 sessions. Though head coach Doug Pederson described Lawrence as day-to-day Wednesday, the signal-caller reportedly looked good while throwing the ball Thursday and is seemingly tracking toward a return to the lineup for Sunday's all-important game with the Titans, according to James Palmer of NFL Network. The Jaguars' final injury report of the week will be issued Friday and will reveal whether Lawrence is formally cleared to play Sunday or if he'll take a questionable tag into the matchup with Tennessee.

Lawrence (shoulder) is scheduled for limited practice participation Wednesday, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Doug Pederson referred to Lawrence as day-to-day at the beginning of the week and again Wednesday when he spoke to the media. The quarterback missed Sunday's 26-0 win over Carolina with an injury to his throwing shoulder, but the Jaguars seemingly have some hope of getting both Lawrence and wideout Christian Kirk (groin) back in the lineup for Sunday's all-important game against the Titans. A win would make the Jaguars the No. 4 seed, while a loss would leave them needing help to land the seventh and final spot in the AFC playoffs.

Lawrence (shoulder) is improving and is considered day-to-day ahead of Week 18's contest against Tennessee, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Lawrence "is definitely improving" but added that the team will wait to see how the quarterback feels Wednesday to further evaluate his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Titans. Jacksonville could potentially have wideout Christian Kirk (groin) back for that contest as well, as the team is expected to open his 21-day practice window Wednesday, per Mark Long of the Associated Press. There is a lot on the line for the Jaguars on Sunday, as they can clinch the AFC South title with a victory. If Lawrence is ultimately deemed unable to suit up for the game, C.J. Beathard would remain the team's starting signal-caller for a second straight week.
