Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is active and starting Thursday night against the Saints but that does not mean he will be 100%.
Lawrence will start for the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night in their matchup with the New Orleans Saints after he sustained a knee injury last week.
The dynamic quarterback participated fully in pregame warmups at the Caesars Superdome and appeared in good spirits ahead of the “Thursday Night Football” matchup in New Orleans. However, he could be seen wearing a concerning knee brace.
Lawrence injured his knee in the fourth quarter of their 37-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday after he was sacked awkwardly. The game was already in hand and many questioned why he would even be in the game at the time.
Lawrence practiced on a limited basis on Tuesday and Wednesday and was listed as questionable on the injury report.

Lawrence has thrown for 1,439 yards and seven touchdowns so far this season, his third in the league, and has led the Jaguars to a 4-2 start.
If things go badly, the team will turn to former CFL star Nathan Rourke.
