Jacksonville, Fl — Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is celebrating his first birthday in Jacksonville and looking ahead to Sunday’s matchup with AFC South rival Tennessee. The 22-year-old is seeking his first win in the NFL amid a week of controversy surrounding head coach Urban Meyer.
Lawrence, the first overall pick in the NFL Draft, is expected to appear for his weekly news conference today. The Jaguars and Titans will play at 1 pm on CBS 47.
On Tuesday, Jaguars owner Shad Khan released a statement on Urban Meyer, following a video that showed a woman dancing close to Meyer’s lap, a clip that quickly went viral and made headlines across the country. Another video appears to show Meyer touching the woman’s behind.
“I have addressed this matter with Urban. Specifics of our conversation will be held in confidence. What I will say is his conduct last weekend was inexcusable. I appreciate Urban’s remorse, which I believe is sincere. Now, he must regain our trust and respect. That will require a personal commitment from Urban to everyone who supports, represents or plays for our team. I am confident he will deliver.”
