WATCH | Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence writhes in pain before going off field vs Bengals

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence suffered a right ankle injury in the fourth quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Jaguars QB was eventually assisted off the field after hobbling and the initial scans reveal an ankle sprain, reported multiple media outlets. The teams were tied at 28 each when Lawrence went off the field and his team lost the game 34-31 in the overtime.

The incident happened with under six minutes left in the fourth quarter. Lawrence received the shotgun pass from his centre with Jacksonville at Cincy 23 facing 3rd-and-11. As soon as Lawrence went back, his left tackle Walker Little stepped on his right ankle as he got tackled by Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson. Have a look at the video below:

Talking about the injury, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said: "We're still evaluating him. He'll have more tests and things done here tonight and tomorrow."

"We'll see where Trevor's at first, but we've got 100% confidence in C.J.," Pederson added. "He's a veteran player. He's played a lot of football, and if he happens to be the guy then we'll get behind him and support him."

With the loss, Jacksonville are now at 8-4 this season but still on top of the American Football League (AFC) South. The Jaguars have one loss less then the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans, who both are at 7-5 win-loss record.

Lawrence is the latest to join the long-list quarterback injured in the league this season. Some of the names who have been injured earlier this season are New York Jets' Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), Minnesota Vikings' Kirk Cousins (Achilles), Cleveland Browns' Deshaun Watson (shoulder), Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow (wrist), and New York Giants' Daniel Jones (knee).
