Lawrence, a former No. 1 overall pick, injured his left shoulder two weeks ago against the Philadelphia Eagles. He never exited the game, finishing 16 of 31 for 169 yards with two interceptions and running for two touchdowns.

Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence stands squarely in the middle of two options for addressing his left shoulder injury. After missing the past two games, Lawrence described his physical status as "feeling better" following his second practice this week on Wednesday as the Jaguars (2-9) prepared to host the AFC South-leading Houston Texans (7-5) at EverBank Stadium on Sunday.

Widely expected to at least compete in an AFC South team with only one true contender, the Jaguars have lost nine of their 11 games so far, had their coach's future been called into question since October, and have been without their $275 million franchise quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, since November 3rd, when he suffered an AC joint injury.
