The Jaguars lost starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence to an ankle injury late in the fourth quarter.

He was hurt when left tackle Walker Little was pushed backward and stepped on his ankle. It appeared to get caught under Lawrence and he fell to the ground. He had to be assisted from the field by medical personnel.

Jacksonville head coach Doug Pederson said, “We’re still evaluating him,” when talking about Lawrence’s injury after the game.
