The Jacksonville Jaguars said Wednesday that quarterback Trevor Lawrence will be on a “pitch count” during spring activities but is expected to be ready by Week 1 of the 2025 regular season.
Lawrence continues to rehab from AC joint surgery in December, an injury that cut short his 2024 season.
Lawrence told reporters Wednesday that he’s been throwing and is “very optimistic” about being ready for the season.
“[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,” he told reporters.
New head coach Liam Coen said the former No. 1 overall pick will have limited reps in spring camps.
“As we lead in, we’re optimistic that we’ll get there in terms of where we need to go,” Coen said in his Wednesday press conference. “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 on the grass and do it full speed.
“Everything’s moving forward. He feels really good right now. So, excited about that.”
Under Coen, Lawrence will be playing for his third head coach in five NFL seasons, following the dismissals of Urban Meyer and Doug Pederson.
Lawrence was 2-8 as the starter in 2024, completing 60.6 percent of his passes for 2,045 yards with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He missed seven games due to the shoulder injury and a concussion. Pederson was fired after the season.
Lawrence has thrown for 13,815 yards and 69 TDs against 46 INTs since the Jags selected him first overall in the 2021 draft.
