In an unexpected turn of events, the Jacksonville Jaguars' starting quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, has been cleared from concussion protocol just in time for their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium on Sunday. Lawrence, who suffered a concussion in last week's match against the Baltimore Ravens, had been uncertain to play throughout the week.

Lawrence's participation in the game was in doubt as he hadn't practiced on Wednesday and Thursday due to being in concussion protocol. However, he returned to the field on Friday for a limited practice session under protocol. The final decision for Lawrence's inclusion in the game rested on his clearance from the concussion protocol, as confirmed by Head Coach Doug Pederson on Friday.

The news of Lawrence's clearance came as a relief to the Jaguars' fans, as the talented quarterback has started all 48 games of his NFL career thus far. His presence on the field not only provides a boost to the team's offense but also reassures that the Jaguars will have their leader under center.

In addition to Lawrence's return, there are other positive updates for the Jaguars. Cornerback Tyson Campbell, who was nursing a quadricep injury, and safety Andre Cisco, dealing with a groin issue, are both set to play after missing the Ravens game. Both players participated in limited practices throughout the week and were listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday.

The return of Campbell and Cisco adds depth and strength to the Jaguars' defense, which will be crucial against a formidable Buccaneers offense. The duo's availability is a positive sign for the team, as they look to bounce back from last week's loss against the Ravens.

As the Jaguars gear up to take on the Buccaneers, the team will be without five inactive players on Sunday. The specific names of these players were not disclosed in the provided information, but their absence presents an opportunity for other members of the roster to step up and contribute.

The Jaguars, led by Lawrence, will look to put on a strong showing against the Buccaneers and prove that they can compete against tough opponents. Lawrence's return from concussion protocol adds excitement to the game as fans eagerly anticipate his performance on the field.

With Lawrence cleared to play, the Jaguars' hopes for a victory against the Buccaneers have been given a significant boost. The talented quarterback's presence and leadership will undoubtedly play a crucial role in the team's pursuit of success on Sunday.
