Trevor Lawrence will miss the decisive phase of the game against the Bengals due to an injury. But there’s reason to hope he didn’t hurt himself badly.

For Trevor Lawrence, the Monday Night Game against the Cincinnati Bengals couldn’t have ended more painfully. And in two ways.

His team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, lost the home game against their AFC rivals in overtime, and he himself was unable to play in the decisive phase due to injury.

Shortly before the end, his own offensive line player Walker Little inadvertently stepped on his ankle, which was so painful that Lawrence – supported by attendants – had to leave the field with a limp.

Earlier, the 24-year-old had tried unsuccessfully to get up, hitting the turf in frustration and throwing away his helmet.

Initial examinations revealed that he had sprained his right ankle. It is not yet clear exactly how serious the injury is.

More detailed information is expected after more in-depth examinations, which are scheduled to take place on Tuesday.

However, as NFL Network reports, the 2021 first overall pick has looked confident in the locker room

Lawrence won’t comment on his health for now

Lawrence left the stadium on crutches and wearing a support shoe around his injured right ankle, it was reported. He did not speak to media representatives.

The Lawrence injury was not the only setback for the Jaguars. Star receiver Christian Kirk had to leave the field in the first quarter due to a groin injury.
