Trevor Lawrence is set for the 41st straight start to begin his NFL career.
Lawrence is officially active for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Week 7 matchup against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football.
Lawrence has been dealing with a knee injury that had him questionable to play, but he’ll give it a go and continue his run of never having missed a start in his two-plus-season career.
Lawrence, who was wearing a small brace during warmups, injured his knee just four days earlier in a Week 6 victory against the Indianapolis Colts. No stranger to being on the injury report, Lawrence was questionable for multiple games in the 2022 season due to a toe injury, but this is the first time he’s dealt with a knee injury, and he predicted on Tuesday that a decision would come down to game day as to whether he’d play.
