Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has bid farewell to his 2024 season.
Posting on social media, Lawrence pointed out his disappointment at not being able to finish the season -- his first admission of being set to miss the rest of the year.
"'For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' I’m going to miss being out there with my brothers the rest of the way. This isn’t at all what I pictured this year looking like," Lawrence said on Instagram.
"I’ve been leaning heavy on this verse lately. I don’t know why things happen sometimes but I do believe how you respond is more important than what happens. I’m so blessed to be able to do what I do and I’m not going to let some adversity muddy the vision! Better days are ahead. #DTWD"
Lawrence landed on injured reserve last week following two injuries since Week 9.
The first injury was an injury to Lawrence's left shoulder and occurred in a Week 9 loss. Lawrence missed the next two starts before returning in Week 13, though he noted leading up to his final start that surgery was still on the table.
Lawrence sustained a concussion in Week 13's 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans with about four minutes left in the first-half, a result of an illegal hit from Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. Al-Shaair has since been suspended for three games.
Since Week 6 of 2023, Lawrence has sustained two concussions, two shoulder injuries, a knee injury, and an ankle injury.
Lawrence started 10 games in 2024, completing 60.6% of his passes for 2,045 yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
