Trevor Lawrence was supposed to participate in Thursday’s Jacksonville Jaguars practice in a limited capacity, but ended up not showing up on the field.
It was the second straight day the Jaguars quarterback did not take part in practice as he deals with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. Lawrence suffered the injury Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the third quarter when he extended himself to dive for a first down on fourth-and-1.

I wanted to finish the drive out, and we were able to get some points, and then on the 2-point [conversion attempt] could tell by the way I threw it, I couldn’t really get my shoulder up good enough to really keep playing.
“I would’ve loved to have stayed in, but just kind of hurting everybody at that point if I do, so they made the call to just take a seat the rest of the night.”
Should he not be able to go Sunday against the Carolina Panthers it will be C.J. Beathard under center.

Chase also spent Thursday stirring the pot ahead of the Bengals’ Week 17 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
“I know what I see on paper. I know what I see in game,” Chase said. “That’s why they double everybody. ‘Cause they can’t do it one on one.
“The best player on their team is [cornerback L’Jarius] Sneed. That’s a fact. Everybody knows that. That’s why they double everything they see. … They know I’m good. They know how to play us. It’s not like they’ve got a superstar on their defense.”
As it stands, the Chiefs are one game ahead of the Bengals in the AFC playoff race. An already…
