The Jacksonville Jaguars just made one of the toughest decisions they have ever had to make, but it's definitely for the better.

They are gearing up to play the Carolina Panthers, who are likely the worst team in football. But the Jaguars are on a four-game losing streak, so this game is coming at the perfect time.

However, after the latest news in the league, the game certainly won't be easy.

The Jaguars are ruling out franchise QB Trevor Lawrence, who is dealing with a sprained shoulder. He has been dealing with injuries all year. It was probably a tough decision, but it's for the better when you consider how Lawrence has been playing through the injuries. He hasn't been great and has played too hurt.

This means that backup quarterback C.J. Beathard will get the start, and Lawrence will miss his first career game in the NFL.
