Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence will undergo his previously reported shoulder procedure this week.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Lawrence will undergo surgery on Tuesday to repair his non-throwing shoulder. Well-known surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache will perform the procedure, and the expectation is that Lawrence will be ready for training camp.

Presumptive No. 1 pick #Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence will have labrum surgery on his left shoulder on Tuesday, source said, and noted surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache of Kerlan-Jobe in LA will perform the procedure. A 5-6 month recovery is expected. He should be fine by training camp

While it’s never great news that a highly touted quarterback prospect needs shoulder surgery, there’s little here that will dissuade the Jacksonville Jaguars. The issue is with Lawrence’s non-throwing shoulder, and it certainly didn’t seem to cause him any trouble at his Pro Day workout.

While Lawrence should be fine for training camp, the five-to-six-month window doesn’t leave much time for setbacks. Any longer than six months and Lawrence’s timetable would get uncomfortably close to the start of regular-season action.
