Jacksonville Jaguars move Canadian QB Nathan Rourke to active roster

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — With starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence questionable with a high-ankle sprain, the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-4) have signed Canadian QB Nathan Rourke to the active roster ahead of Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns (7-5).

The Jaguars made the roster move on Saturday.

Lawrence suffered the injury late in Monday night’s 34-31 overtime loss to Cincinnati.

If Lawrence can’t play on Sunday, backup C.J. Beathard is expected to make his first start since the 2020 regular-season finale with San Francisco. Beathard, meanwhile, is dealing with an injury to his left, non-throwing shoulder.
