Trevor Lawrence in Concussion Protocol After Hit

Trevor Lawrence's performance has significantly declined since his promising 2022 season, where he led the Jaguars to a 9-8 record and earned a Pro Bowl selection. In 2023 and 2024, he has struggled with a passer rating of 87.4, alongside 32 touchdowns and 21 interceptions, resulting in a 10-16 record. His situation worsened after suffering a concussion from a hit by Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, which led to Al-Shaair's ejection from the game. Coach Doug Pederson has not yet decided if Lawrence will return this season, especially as he also deals with a shoulder injury that may require surgery. Meanwhile, the New York Giants have lost defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to season-ending injured reserve due to an elbow injury, further compounding the team's struggles this season. Both teams face significant challenges as they navigate injuries and poor performance.
