Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is “optimistic” he’ll be ready for the start of the 2025 season.

Trevor Lawrence Talks About Injured Shoulder And Rehab

It’s a make-or-break year for Lawrence.

The former first pick continues to rehab his left shoulder after undergoing surgery to repair an AC joint.

Lawrence hopes to be all systems go when training camp begins in July.

“We don’t play a game until this fall, so obviously I’m going to be ready sooner than that, so I’m very optimistic I’ll be perfectly good for the season,” Lawrence said to the media on Wednesday. “I’m throwing, and obviously I’m kind of progressing and working my way up further distance, more throws, just trying to be smart and not just jump off into the deep end right away. Just trying to work up to it.”

Lawrence injured his shoulder in Week 9’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Lawrence missed a few games and returned to start against the Texans on December 1. However, Lawrence suffered a concussion in the loss to Houston.

Lawrence sat out the rest of the season and eventually had surgery on his shoulder.

Liam Coen Speaks About Lawrence’s Rehab

First-year head coach Liam Coen is not putting a timeline on Lawrence’s rehab. The plan is to have the quarterback on a “pitch count” this offseason before he starts to ramp up for the season.

“As we lead in, we’re optimistic that we’ll get there in terms of where we need to go,” Coen said. “He’ll be on a pitch count for those things. In terms of the where he has to get to, because he has little touch points he needs to reach before he can obviously get out onto the grass and do it full speed, everything’s moving forward. He feels really good right now, so excited about that.”

After leading the Jaguars to the Divisional Round in 2022, Lawrence has struggled the past two seasons. Lawrence has thrown for 31 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in his last 26 games.
