The Jacksonville Jaguars faced a significant setback as quarterback Trevor Lawrence suffered a concussion during a game against the Houston Texans, which has raised concerns about his future this season. Teammates criticized the hit by linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair as 'dirty,' and Lawrence's status is now uncertain as the team contemplates whether to shut him down for the remainder of the season.

After a promising start, the Jaguars currently sit at 2-10, having been eliminated from AFC South contention. The season has been marred by injuries and underperformance, leading to questions about the futures of head coach Doug Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke. Lawrence's injury adds to the team's woes, as they navigate a disappointing campaign.

Lawrence, who has a history of concussions, was carted off the field after the incident, and while he has expressed optimism about his recovery, the team must carefully manage his return to play. With the season nearing its end and key players injured, the Jaguars face tough decisions regarding their franchise quarterback's health and the direction of the team.
