Concerns have emerged over the playing status of Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence due to a sprained right shoulder. Despite the injury, Lawrence has expressed optimism about his recovery, noting that his shoulder is 'decent' and progressing better than expected. He did not throw at practice but is taking it day by day. Lawrence, who has not missed a game in his NFL career, credits his good genes and youth for his ability to bounce back quickly from injuries. Jaguars OC Taylor mentioned that turnovers are not all on Lawrence, but he always takes accountability. Meanwhile, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is dealing with a high-ankle sprain. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has not ruled Waddle out for the week and remains optimistic about his return, citing Waddle's toughness and ability to play through multiple injuries this season. Both players' conditions are being closely monitored ahead of their respective games, with Profootballdoc believing Lawrence can play through his injury.

Trevor says he has no regrets about saying in frustrataion after the Bucs game that it looked like team didn't practice. While he admits "it's true," he says teammates knows he's talking about himself more than them. #Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence talking to local reporters now says his sprained right shoulder is still sore but it’s feeling better. He won’t throw at practice today but we’ll see about tomorrow. T-Law notes his good genes and youth as reasons why he bounces back so quickly from injuries.
On being able to recover as well as he has, Trevor says he's "blessed with good genes and I'm young." #Jaguars
Trevor says shoulder is "decent" and progressing better than he thought. Will not throw today, take practicing day by day. #Jaguars
Mike McDaniel won’t rule out Jaylen Waddle for this week, and he needs a lint roller. https://t.co/QmRHtzhYJd
Trevor Lawrence is talking to the local reporters today in the typical starting QB spot — generally a positive sign for game availability. Lawrence has a sprained right throwing shoulder but has played through everything this year and hasn’t missed a game yet in his NFL career.

McDaniel on Waddle: "He's a really, really tough player. He's battled through several things this year which has made him even more eager as a playmaker to make up for that with his play." Said that history gives McDaniel optimism it won't keep him out long.
