The Jacksonville Jaguars are gearing up for the upcoming season with quarterback Trevor Lawrence addressing his recovery from a shoulder injury that required surgery. Lawrence emphasized that the decision to undergo surgery was a collective one, influenced by the severity of his A.C. joint injury. He noted that after experiencing pain and uncertainty, he opted for surgery to ensure a full recovery and to hand the reins to backup quarterback Mac Jones for the remainder of the season.

Lawrence is optimistic about his rehabilitation process and expects to return in time for the season and hopes to participate in most of the offseason training activities. He expressed confidence in the team's potential for a quick turnaround, highlighting the talent among playmakers like running back Travis Etienne Jr. and tight end Brenton Strange. The Jaguars will need to recapture their competitive spirit and establish a more consistent identity as they look to improve in the upcoming season.
