2023-12-23
Arr, the Jacksonville Jaguars' skipper, Doug Pederson, be claimin' that young Trevor Lawrence must be makin' his way through the concussion protocol ere Saturday, lest he be denied the voyage to Tampa Bay alongside the crew.
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, me mateys, Trevor Lawrence be makin' a grand gesture to keep his consecutive start streak alive! The lad has donned his gear for a remarkable 48 straight games, but his streak were in considerable doubt when he fell into the clutches of the dreaded concussion protocol earlier this week, argh!But fear not, me hearties, for on Saturday, the Jacksonville Jaguars announced that this here star signal-caller has cleared the protocol and set sail with the crew to Tampa Bay, arr! Lawrence be expected to take his place under center on Sunday as the Jags aim to put an end to their three-game losing streak and stay atop the mighty AFC South.
Now, mind ye, me lads and lasses, Lawrence had a rough go of it this week, as he had to practice for the first time on Friday, just afore bein' cleared by the ship's doctors and the league's independent neurological consultant. And if that weren't enough, the lad be nursin' an injured ankle he picked up in Week 13.
The crew believes that Lawrence suffered his head injury while scramblin' during a play in a bitter loss to the Ravens in Week 15. Though he managed to finish the game, the lad struggled in the aftermath, misfirin' on all but one of his final eight passes. This raised some concern about the health of our brave quarterback, and he reported concussion-like symptoms after the game.
But fret not, me mateys, for there be hope on the horizon! Several other players, like 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, Browns receiver Amari Cooper, and Saints wideout Chris Olave, have gained clearance in the past and returned to the fray within a week. The Jags, already facin' the absence of left tackle Cam Robinson and receivers Christian Kirk and Zay Jones, would have faced a mighty challenge without Lawrence in their quest to make the playoffs for consecutive years.
So, as we set our sights on Sunday's clash, let us raise our mugs and toast to the health and success of our brave captain, Trevor Lawrence! May he guide our ship to victory and keep his start streak alive, arrrrgh!
