JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and tight end Evan Engram underwent shoulder surgery earlier this week and are expected to be able to participate in offseason activities at some point. moment this spring, coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday.
Lawrence had a left shoulder sprain repaired on Tuesday, while Engram had a labral tear in his left shoulder repaired on Monday. Pederson said both surgeries went well.
“Everything was positive for both players and now we look forward to the recovery time,” Pederson said.
Lawrence, who has not played since suffering a concussion against Houston on December 1, was placed on injured reserve on December 4. He had to pass the concussion protocol before he could undergo surgery, which Pederson said he did Sunday morning. Lawrence underwent surgery on the same shoulder in February 2021 and his participation in the Jaguars’ rookie minicamp and OTAs was limited.
Engram was placed on IR on December 14.
The off-season training program begins in April with Phase II, which includes organized team activities, beginning in May.
“In both cases these are not long-term surgeries with long recovery times,” Pederson said. “So sometime this spring they’ll be ready to go.”
