The New Orleans Saints are set to face a tough AFC matchup in Week 7 vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars.
On primetime on Thursday night, New Orleans will try to get to 4-3 at home. Jags superstar QB Trevor Lawrence has been limited at practice this week with a knee sprain.
That being said, Lawrence is 'expected to play' pending a pregame workout, according to Adam Schefter.
It was always going to be tough to keep Lawrence off the field for this game. It is a winnable game for his team, and he is a gritty quarterback.
For the Saints, the matchup is much tougher with Lawrence on the field. The Jags have dynamic options at WR like Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley. Evan Engram at TE has been consistent, too.
Not to mention, RB Travis Etienne Jr. has played the best ball of his young career over the past month for Jacksonville. It will be a tall task for a Saints defense that has been inconsistent at times.
Regardless, they need to perform well if the Saints have any chance at getting a win against the Jaguars.
