The 2024 season just got more complicated for the Jacksonville Jaguars. In Week 13, the AFC South team lost Trevor Lawrence to a concussion, prompting the club to sign a quarterback who knows what it’s like to be a Super Bowl winner.

Prior to the beginning of the campaign, the Jaguars were regarded as potential dark horses. Trevor Lawrence has improved year after year and is now seen as a reliable quarterback capable of leading the team to success soon.

Unfortunately, Jacksonville has fallen short of those expectations. The club has already been eliminated from playoff contention and is on track to have the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Many analysts expected Jacksonville to be a dark horse this season. Trevor Lawrence has shown great improvement since his arrival, but he obviously can’t carry the team entirely on his own.

Unfortunately, their main star has suffered several injuries this year that have sidelined him for some games. Now, he may miss additional time after sustaining a concussion in Week 13, which could sideline him for the upcoming weeks.
