NFL Rumors: Trevor Lawrence 'Adamant' He's Playing for Jaguars vs. Texans amid Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is "adamant that he's playing" in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans despite nursing a shoulder injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

While Lawrence intends to suit up, the quarterback won't be at 100 percent, Rapoport reported.

Lawrence has not played since Week 9 against the Philadelphia Eagles and is listed as questionable on the injury report due to a left shoulder AC joint injury.

"He's had a good week," head coach Doug Pederson said, according to Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union. "Done some really good things this week. I would say as of right now, yes, he will play."

Despite his eagerness to return, Lawrence has not ruled out the possibility of shoulder surgery if it proves to be the best long-term option.

"I think [the sprained AC joint] has been a pretty difficult thing to gauge, honestly, of what's the best path forward," Lawrence said on Wednesday, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. "[Surgery is] definitely something that I'm considering and not off the table at all. It's something that we're going to have to just [approach] truly day-by-day, week-by-week.

The fourth-year quarterback had missed only one game in his career before this season, sitting out last December against the Carolina Panthers due to an A/C joint issue.

"Hopefully I'm able to get back out there this week or as soon as possible and then it's going to be just every week kind of evaluating it, seeing where it's at," Lawrence said, per DiRocco. "Obviously up until this point I've been doing everything I can to avoid that and want to be back out there with my guys and finish the season. So that's my goal."

Jacksonville is 2-9 this season and is on a four-game losing streak. Lawrence has a 61.3 percent completion rate this season with 2,004 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and six interceptions.

The Jaguars are coming off a bye week as they face the Texans at home on Sunday and will look to secure their first win since Week 7 against New England.
