Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence went down with a leg injury late in the first half against the Detroit Lions after getting hit low by linebacker James Houston. Lawrence immediately grabbed for his left leg after taking the hit and his teammates took a knee on the turf beside him. The Jaguars quarterback was able to get up and limp off the field under his own power while CJ Beathard loosened up and prepared to enter the game.

The injury occurred right before halftime, so Lawrence will be closely examined during the break. The injury looked grim, however, causing him to immediately reach for his left leg. His leg appeared to twist after the hit from Houston, sending Jaguars fans into a state of panic.

Seeing him walk off under his own power is encouraging, especially given the way his leg twisted on the play. If he doesn't return, it'll be Beathard taking over for the Jags in the second half.

Beathard was the one spotted warming up on the field after halftime, however, Doug Pederson indicated that the Jaguars are expecting to have Lawrence available in the second half, via Jennifer Hale.
