The NFL has another major quarterback injury to deal with. During Monday night’s matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence suffered what looked to be a nasty lower leg injury. He couldn’t leave the field under his own power and was helped to the locker room.
Lawrence was injured as the Jaguars faced third-and-11 from Cincinnati’s 23-yard line with 5:43 remaining in a 28-28 game. As he dropped back to pass, left tackle Walker Little stepped on Lawrence’s right leg and the quarterback went down in a heap and was sacked for a seven-yard loss.
Here’s footage of the play:
As you can see, Lawrence tried to get up and immediately fell back down, then threw his helmet in anger.
Here’s a close-up:
It appeared he twisted his ankle under him.
Lawrence was not happy about it:

Jaguars fans were in disbelief:
Here’s hoping the injury isn’t as bad as it look.
As if to add insult to the whole thing, Jags kicker Brandon McManus missed a 48-yard field goal in the next play.
