Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is a big fan of Pro Football Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, and vice versa.
So Manning was pretty upset to see the Jaguars’ 24-year-old quarterback go down Monday night with what looked like a serious ankle injury. Both Peyton and Eli Manning were live on ESPN2’s ManningCast with guest Chad Johnson when the injury occurred.

Johnson, a former Cincinnati Bengals receiver, initially celebrated the sack before realizing that Lawrence was injured on the play. Manning knew something was wrong right away, though.
“Oh Trevor, no no no,” Manning said.
Later, the broadcast showed a hobbled Lawrence being helped down the tunnel.

“I can’t watch that, it makes me sick,” Manning said.
Fortunately for Lawrence and the Jaguars, the injury wasn’t as severe as it initially appeared. Head coach Doug Pederson said Tuesday that it’s a high ankle sprain and testing showed that “everything is stable, everything looks good.”
