The Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback feels “a lot better” than he thought he would two days after sustaining a high ankle sprain against Cincinnati.Lawrence sat out practice Wednesday but wouldn’t rule out playing at Cleveland (7-5) on Sunday, a matchup that could help decide the AFC wild-card race or postseason seeding down the stretch.“I’m thankful that it wasn’t a worse injury than what I kind of thought it was on the field,” Lawrence said.Lawrence injured his right ankle when left tackle Walker Little stepped on him while getting powered backward late in Monday night’s 34-31 overtime loss to the Bengals. X-rays were negative, but Lawrence was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain that could take weeks to fully heal.Quarterbacks have played through similar injuries before; most recently Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes played last season’s AFC championship game and the Super Bowl with a h...
