Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has an illness, the team said before kickoff against the Raiders on Sunday, but he still played in Las Vegas.

Lawrence has started every game this season after missing seven games in 2024 (including the final five) because of a shoulder injury and concussion.

He has completed 58.7% of his passes for 1,620 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions. He hasn’t committed a turnover in the Jaguars’ past two games, though Jacksonville lost both contests before its bye week.

Lawrence won’t have Travis Hunter starting Sunday, as the two-way rookie was placed on injured reserve after injuring his right knee in practice Thursday. A source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Friday that no answers were expected on Hunter’s long-term outlook before the following week.
