Trevor Lawrence said he will undergo further testing on his left knee Sunday night, but the Jaguars quarterback said his knee is bruised and he's feeling OK, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.

However, he stopped short of saying he would be able to play in Thursday night's game at the Saints.

"Feel pretty good," Lawrence said after the Jaguars claimed sole possession of first place in the AFC South by beating Indianapolis 37-20 at EverBank Stadium on Sunday afternoon. "Walking around all right. I can't really say much now but want to make sure everything's checked out before [the game against the Saints].

"... It's a little bit bruised, too, so just trying to kind of sort through what it is now."

Lawrence was hurt on a third-and-7 play from the Indianapolis 16-yard line with 3:10 remaining. He faked a pitch to the right to Travis Etienne, rolled left and was chased down by Colts defensive end Samson Ebukam at the 33-yard line.

Lawrence immediately grabbed his left knee and stayed down for a moment. He walked off the field and went to the bench, where team physician Kevin Kaplan examined his knee. Lawrence got up and walked around after several minutes and remained on the sideline for the rest of the game, participated in postgame handshakes and attended his postgame news conference without a wrap or brace on the knee.

"I just felt some discomfort in my knee, and I went down," Lawrence said. "I don't know if it was twisted or landed on or what. I kind of felt it right away and then kind of put a little pressure on it. I realized I could get up, so I was just trying to get up and get off the field."
