The Evander EllisJacksonville Jaguars may not have quarterback Trevor Lawrence for longer than just this week.

Already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, Lawrence could miss the rest of the season due to a shoulder injury he suffered last week.

The Athletic is reporting that Lawrence has a severe AC joint sprain and it could result in Mac Jones taking over at quarterback to finish the regular season for the 2-7 Jags.

Lawrence suffered an injury to his left, non-throwing shoulder in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Lawrence was listed as a limited participant in practice this week, though Jones took all the snaps with the first-team offense.

Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 draft, has thrown for 2,004 yards with 11 touchdowns and six interceptions this season.
