NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports)
The Jacksonville Jaguars want to make sure quarterback Trevor Lawrence, whom they drafted first overall in this year’s draft, is ready to take the field in Week 1 of the 2021 season. For that reason, their approach to minicamp makes sense as the rookie quarterback rehabs his shoulder.
Lawrence will participate in rookie minicamp, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, but his participation will be limited after undergoing labrum surgery on his non-throwing shoulder a few months ago. The Jaguars will err on the side of caution and won’t risk him suffering a setback, so even though he will show up, they won’t ask him to do much.
