While Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and tight end Evan Engram are not slated to play again this season, head coach Doug Pederson delivered a positive update on both players during his Wednesday press conference.
Pederson noted Lawrence cleared concussion protocol on Sunday and underwent successful surgery to repair his left AC joint on Tuesday.
“He’s on the road to recovery,” Pederson said.
Engram also had surgery on Monday to repair the torn labrum in his left shoulder.
“Everything was positive in both players’ cases and just now looking forward to recovery time,” Pederson said.
While Pederson did not give a specific recovery timeframe for either Lawrence or Engram, he did note that both should be OK during the offseason program.
“I guess the thing is, too, in both cases, they’re not long-term, lengthy surgeries, recovery time,” Pederson said. “So, at some point in the spring, they’ll be ready to go.”
Lawrence completed 60.6 percent of his passes for 2,045 yards with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 10 games this season.
Engram played nine games, catching 47 passes for 365 yards with one TD.
