Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has an extra cause for smiles besides leading the Jacksonville Jaguars to their first win of the season last weekend. That reason is that he could get two key targets back for Week 6 of the 2024 NFL when he takes on the Chicago Bears in London.
It was a huge relief for Lawrence to play at a high level in the Jaguars’ narrow 3-point win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5 (37-34). That win snapped a poor start of four consecutive losses, shrouded in question marks for the Jacksonville franchise quarterback. With just hours to go before they take on the Bears, the good news could continue.
The two key weapons Lawrence could have back this weekend are none other than tight end Evan Engram and wide receiver Gabe Davis, both of whom were listed as questionable on the team’s final injury report prior to the Jacksonville clash against Chicago, the first of back-to-back games in England.
Engram has been limited in practice all week and is coming off missing every game after playing the first week of the regular season. Davis, meanwhile, has also been limited in practice this week. While the status of both is not full recovery, Lawrence could have them back for this game, or at worst, the Week 7 game. The next few hours will be decisive.

News on the Jaguars’ injured list
It’s not just Engram and Davis that are cases to watch. Linebacker Yasir Abdullah (neck) and safety Daniel Thomas (hamstring) are also listed as questionable for the Jags’ two games in England. Among other injury updates, cornerback Tyson Campbell continues to deal with a hamstring injury and will not be activated from injured reserve. With so many injuries, the roster will be a challenge for head coach Doug Pederson.
