Trevor Lawrence Injury Update Revealed Ahead of Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New Orleans Saint
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence injured his knee during Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts but is looking to play on Thursday night when the team takes on the New Orleans Saints. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Lawrence is believed to have avoided a major injury and will undergo an MRI. When speaking to reporters on Monday, Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Lawrence is “day to day” when asked about his status.
On Tuesday, Lawrence spoke to the media and said he’s going to do everything he can to play on Thursday, but a decision likely won’t be made until hours before kickoff. “I’m optimistic, but of course, we’re gonna have to make that decision Thursday and we’ll go from there, “Right now is not the day to do that.”
Lawrence practiced on Tuesday in a limited role. “I’m gonna do everything I can to be out there,” he added. “I feel a lot better today than I would’ve thought, so I like how I’m progressing. I’m gonna do everything I can to be out there on Thursday.”
If Lawrence misses the game on Thursday, it would be the first time in his career he doesn’t play in an NFL regular season game. The 24-year-old QB was selected No. 1 overall by the Jaguars in the 2021 NFL Draft and has been the team’s starting quarterback since the start of the 2021 season.
“I haven’t missed a game in my career. Obviously, I’m only in my third year, but I take a lot of pride in that,” Lawrence said. “Definitely is something that means a lot to me is just being out there … well, one, being out there, but also knowing I can put a good performance out there for my team, too, cause that doesn’t help anyone if I can’t. So, you gotta ask that question, as well.”
Lawrence has emerged as one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL. He was named to the Pro Bowl last year after throwing for 4,113 yards, 25 touchdowns and just eight interceptions with a passer rating of 95.2. Through six games this year, Lawrence threw for 1,439 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions with a 91.7 passer rating.
Travis Kelce’s ex-girlfriend is being called out for how she treats servers. Twitch streamer Caroline Kwan went to the social media site known as X (formerly Twitter) last month to repost a meme that compares Kelce’s ex Kayla Nicole to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s rumored new girlfriend Taylor Swift. In the post, Kwan, an actress and former club server in Los Angeles, wrote, “One of these women is downright mean girl nasty to bottle servers,” adding that it’s not Swift.
One person responded to Kwan’s post saying that there was no need to take shots at Nicole and that “the misogyny is coming from inside the house.” Kwan replied, “The only ‘misogyny coming from inside the house’ is when she came into MY place of work and treated me and the other female servers like shit and would be pissed off when Travis tipped, so he had to do so secretively. Please!”
The person fired back and asked how is the post relevant while accusing Kwan her of pitting Nicole and Swift against each other. Kwan replied, “The op was making a joke referencing his appearance. I saw the picture of Kayla and was reminded of the fact that I had been treated badly by her. Not pitting her against anyone, but I guess I can’t share my personal experience on my own Twitter page!”
Nicole and Kelce dated off and on between 2017 and 2022. Last week, Nicole went to Instagram to share a four-minute video in which she read an open letter titled “Dear Black Girl.” In the video, Nicole began reading the letter, which said, “Dear Black girl, they may call you a traitor for falling in love. You’ll hope the ones closest will protect you, but you will quickly find out that people don’t protect what they don’t value.
“They’ll say you’re too much, too provocative, too boisterous, too outspoken. And in the same breath tell you you’re not enough. Not successful enough, not wholesome enough, maybe not even intelligent enough. They’ll say you deserve the backlash and embarrassment. Because of your Blackness you should have known better. They’ll even try to tie your value to your net worth.”
