Is Trevor Lawrence playing tonight? Jaguars QB's availability for Wild Card game vs. Chargers revealed

Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars will face the Los Angeles Chargers in their wild-card round game on Saturday. However, there has been a lot of talk about Lawrence's availability for the matchup amid the quarterback's injury woes.

The quarterback has been dealing with a toe injury over the past few weeks and has been listed as questionable on the Jacksonville roster. Nonetheless, Lawrence is expected to shrug off his niggle and start for the Jaguars in Saturday's postseason game against Los Angeles.

He also trained with the team during the week and looked match-fit during the training drills.

Lawrence will be key to leading the Jaguars past the Chargers. The quarterback has been the team's lynchpin this season and led from the front, winning them the AFC South title.

However, the playoffs will be a whole different ball game for Lawrence and the Jaguars. There will be no margin for error here against Justin Herbert and Co.
