He was sacked by Colts defensive end Yannick Ngakoue and hit in the knee. Lawrence limped off the field but was able to return to the game and lead the Jaguars to victory.

After the game, Lawrence said that his knee was "sore" but that he felt like he would be okay. He also said that he was "definitely" planning to play against the Saints.

On Monday, Pederson said that Lawrence had undergone an MRI and that the results were "positive." He said that Lawrence's injury is not considered to be serious and that he is day-to-day.

"We're going to take it day-by-day and see how he feels," Pederson said. "We're optimistic that he'll be able to play on Thursday, but we're not going to push him."

Lawrence's availability is a major concern for the Jaguars. He is the team's franchise quarterback and is off to a strong start to the season. In six games, Lawrence has thrown for 1,368 yards and eight touchdowns with four interceptions.

If Lawrence is unable to play against the Saints, the Jaguars will turn to backup quarterback C.J. Beathard. Beathard has started six games in his career and has a record of 2-4. He has thrown for 2,166 yards and 13 touchdowns with 10 interceptions.

The Jaguars are hoping that Lawrence will be able to play against the Saints. They are currently in first place in the AFC South and are trying to make their first playoff appearance since 2017.

What does Lawrence's injury mean for the Jaguars?

ca Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 24px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">Lawrence's injury is a setback for the Jaguars, but it is not a fatal blow. The Jaguars have a talented roster and are a good team, even without Lawrence.

However, Lawrence is the Jaguars' most important player. He is a young quarterback with a lot of upside and is the key to the team's future success. If Lawrence is unable to play for an extended period of time, it could hurt the Jaguars' chances of making the playoffs.

What are the Jaguars' options if Lawrence can't play?

If Lawrence is unable to play against the Saints, the Jaguars will turn to backup quarterback C.J. Beathard. Beathard is a capable quarterback, but he is not at the same level as Lawrence.

Beathard is more of a game manager than a playmaker. He is good at taking care of the ball and making the right decisions, but he does not have the same arm talent or athleticism as Lawrence.

If Beathard has to start for the Jaguars, the team will need to rely more on its running game and defense. The Jaguars have a good running game led by James Robinson and Travis Etienne Jr. They also have a solid defense led by linebacker Josh Allen and defensive end Travon Walker.

Can the Jaguars make the playoffs without Lawrence?

The Jaguars can make the playoffs without Lawrence, but it will be difficult. The Jaguars are in a tough division with the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts. Both of those teams have good quarterbacks in Ryan Tannehill and Matt Ryan.

If Lawrence is unable to play for an extended period of time, the Jaguars will need to get a lot of production from Beathard and their other players. They will also need to stay healthy and avoid any more injuries.

Overall, Lawrence's injury is a concern for the Jaguars, but it is not a fatal blow. The Jaguars are still a good team and can make the playoffs without Lawrence. However, they will need to get a lot of production from Beathard and their other players.

In addition to the above, here are some other thoughts on Lawrence's injury and its implications for the Jaguars:

• The Jaguars' offense is much more dynamic with Lawrence at quarterback. He is a better athlete than Beathard and has a stronger arm. This allows the Jaguars to run more plays down the field and stretch the defense.
• The Jaguars' defense is also more effective with Lawrence at quarterback. He is better at protecting the ball than Beathard, which means the defense has less pressure to create turnovers.
• The Jaguars' fans are much more excited about the team with Lawrence at quarterback.
