Trey Hendrickson takes a knee in prayer for Trevor Lawrence as Jaguars QB exits field without medical cart

The Jacksonville Jaguars, led by Trevor Lawrence, are having an impressive season this year with their young quarterback. With eight wins and four losses, they are sitting at the top spot in AFC South, and vying for a potential Super Bowl run.

After going down to the San Francisco 49ers weeks ago, the Jaguars again lost their winning streak by getting defeated to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. Besides the 31-34 loss, the match brought another blow for the team as Lawrence left the match with an injury. Meanwhile, a kind gesture from the Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson towards the QB drew attention of the NFL community.

Trey Hendrickson kneeled to pray for Trevor Lawrence

Tragedy struck in the Jaguars’ Week 13 loss as Trevor Lawrence was hit with an unfortunate injury. Left tackle Walker Little inadvertently caused the QB’s right leg to twist awkwardly beneath him during the fourth quarter, resulting in a sack and leaving the signal-caller in excruciating pain on the field.

As the Jaguars dual-threat struggled to rise, the agony of the injury was quite visible, and his attempts to stand were in vain. Falling back to the ground in frustration, the young star unleashed his emotions by discarding his helmet and venting his distress by striking the grass.

Trey Hendrickson exhibited remarkable empathy after observing the dual-threat’s struggle and realizing his inability to get back on his feet unaided. The defensive end rushed to assist the fallen QB by attempting to help him stand. When it became clear that Lawrence needed more support, Hendrickson took a knee and appeared to offer a prayer for his injured rival.

The Jaguars star eventually required assistance from the team staff members to head to the locker room without a medical cart. He entered the match with a whopping stat of 2,746 yards passing along with 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions, for a 92.0 passer rating.

Trevor Lawrence has high ankle sprain

Trevor Lawrence exited the game against the Bengals with a high ankle sprain. Despite the initial concern, X-rays revealed no significant damage. Coach Doug Pederson conveyed positivity regarding the QB’s condition, stating the tests showed stability and ruled out the immediate need for surgery per Bleacher Report.

The HC continued the update, saying the injury appeared more severe than it actually was and offering gratitude for the fortunate outcome.

Acknowledging the Jaguars star’s impressive performance before his injury, where he demonstrated his incredible finesse by completing passes and displaying agility on the ground with rushing yards and touchdowns, fans hold hope for a swift recovery. Now, the uncertainty revolves around his availability for the forthcoming clash against the Cleveland Browns.

Coach Pederson remained cautious about Lawrence’s status for the upcoming game, refraining from confirming whether the quarterback would be fit to play.

Meanwhile, Lawrence, who is currently on a $36.7 million contract, took to social media to express gratitude for the support and prayers he received post-injury, saying, “Thanks to everyone for the prayers and everyone that reached out. It is much appreciated.”

Before leaving the match, the signal-caller completed 22 of 29 passes for 258 yards along with two touchdowns while adding 240 yards of rushing with three scores on the ground. If he is unable to play, the Jaguars will bank on backup C.J. Beathard for the role.
