The Jacksonville Jaguars added an unexpected name to their injury report this week, and it was one that naturally drew attention.
Trevor Lawrence was listed as limited with an ankle issue as the Jaguars opened preparation for Week 15. For a team navigating December with playoff positioning in mind, any designation involving its franchise quarterback is going to stand out.
The listing caught attention, but the week has unfolded calmly. By Thursday, Lawrence was a full participant in practice, reinforcing the sense that the initial designation was precautionary rather than concerning.
All signs point toward Lawrence being good to go against the New York Jets.
Lawrence’s Week Has Trended in the Right Direction
Jacksonville has been consistent all season in how it handles minor injuries. The coaching staff has leaned toward managing workloads, especially with core players, instead of pushing unnecessary reps early in the week.
Lawrence’s midweek listing fits that pattern. His return to full participation Thursday suggests the ankle issue has not affected his preparation in any meaningful way, and there has been no indication the Jaguars are adjusting their plans at quarterback.
As the schedule tightens and the stakes rise, Jacksonville appears focused on keeping Lawrence sharp rather than limiting him.
Recent Results Have Given the Jaguars Flexibility
That measured approach is supported by how the Jaguars have played.
Jacksonville is coming off a convincing win over the Indianapolis Colts, a game they controlled despite missing pieces. The offense remained efficient and balanced, with Jakobi Meyers continuing to command attention in the air.
On the ground, Travis Etienne Jr. carried the load, finishing with 20 rushes for 70 yards and two touchdowns. Jacksonville dictated tempo throughout and never let the game drift into uncertainty.
With the win, the Jaguars have now won four straight and remain in control of the AFC South.
Parker Washington’s Status Adds Another Layer
Parker Washington was also listed as limited this week as he works back from a hip issue. While he missed the Colts game, his availability for Week 15 remains a possibility.
Jacksonville has shown a willingness to give players an extra week when needed, prioritizing long-term health over short-term urgency. That approach paid off last week, and the Jaguars appear content to let Washington’s recovery dictate the timeline.
If he is able to return, it would give Lawrence another flexible option and further deepen a receiving group that has already shown it can adjust when asked.
What This Means for the Jaguars in Week 15
The midweek listing raised eyebrows, but the days that followed clarified the picture.
Barring a late change, Lawrence is expected to be under center in Week 15.
His return to full participation and lack of visible limitations suggest business as usual for Jacksonville’s offense. With their quarterback set to lead the way and key contributors trending in the right direction, the Jaguars enter Sunday positioned to extend their streak and keep momentum firmly on their side.
