Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will be active Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
However, catcher Christian Kirk will not play, missing his fifth straight game due to a core muscle injury.

Lawrence had practiced on a limited basis all week due to his right AC joint sprain. Coach Doug Pederson said he wanted to see how Lawrence’s shoulder felt and looked Sunday morning before deciding whether he would start or whether he would miss his second straight game.
Lawrence injured his right (throwing) shoulder diving for a first down on a fourth-down run against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 24. He missed last Sunday’s 26-0 win over the Carolina Panthers, snapping his streak of consecutive starts at 49 dating back to the start of the 2021 season.
Kirk was injured on Dec. 4 and missed the Jaguars’ last four games, and the team opened its 21-day practice window on Wednesday. He was limited in practice last week.
The Jaguars (9-7) can win the AFC South by beating the Titans (5-11) in Nashville, giving them back-to-back division titles for just the second time in franchise history and the first time this century. They won AFC Central titles in 1998-99.
