Trevor Lawrence, Gardner Minshew still battling to be Jacksonville Jaguars' starting QB

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- One month shy of the season opener, Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer isn't publicly ready to commit to Trevor Lawrence as his starting quarterback.

When asked if there's still an open competition between Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick, and Gardner Minshew to take the first snap against the Houston Texans on Sept. 12, the answer from the first-year head coach was, "Yes."

That came moments after Meyer said he and his staff would determine Thursday night which player would start Saturday's preseason opener against Cleveland Browns at TIAA Bank Field.
