JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will miss his second consecutive game because of an injury to his left, non-throwing shoulder. Coach Doug Pederson says Mac Jones will start at Detroit on Sunday. Jacksonville has a bye week after playing the Lions, so Lawrence will get three weeks of rest before attempting to return against Houston in early December. Lawrence took a hit to his left shoulder while scrambling at Philadelphia on Nov. 3. Instead of sliding, he chose to go head-first and got hammered by linebacker Zack Baun. Lawrence practiced in a limited role last week but was ruled out before a 12-7 loss to Minnesota.
