Trevor Lawrence injury update: Will Jaguars QB start against Cowboys?
Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars find themselves with an outside chance at the playoffs. After putting together a few really strong weeks, they are just two games behind the Tennesee Titans with four remaining. There's a real chance they can steal the division.
To do so, they will need Lawrence. The second-year quarterback has been rounding into form recently and playing really well. However, he suffered an injury two weeks ago, but was able to play last week.
He enters the week with a huge matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. He's currently listed as questionable. Will he be able to suit up this week?
Is Trevor Lawrence playing tonight?
Given his questionable status lingers from last week and he was able to play anyway, there's a very good chance he does play. He should be monitored, but the expectation is that he will be able to suit up and take on the Cowboys.
Where will Trevor Lawrence play tonight?
The second-year quarterback and former number one overall pick will take snaps under center for the Jaguars. He will do that as that is his position and the Jaguars' playoffs hopes rest squarely on his shoulders.
Trevor Lawrence fantasy update and predictions
Even if he does suit up, the Jaguars star has a tough matchup. The Cowboys have a stout defense and are third-lowest for quarterback scoring in ESPN leagues. They have been a nightmare matchup for quarterbacks.
Lawrence is projected to score 17 points this week. That's a pretty solid projection and can be expected to go up a little bit if Micah Parsons is unable to play.
He scored over 33 points last week, so he's on a bit of a hot streak.

Zach Wilson is projected 15.8 after he returns from the bench to face the worst defense in the league.
Aaron Rodgers has a poor matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, but has been playing well as of late.
