Lawrence had to be helped off the field after he got accidentally stepped on by a Jaguars lineman on Monday night in the fourth quarter of a loss against Cincinnati. But the 24-year-old made a quick recovery, returning to practice Thursday before being cleared to face the Browns following a pregame workout. But he wasn't at his best, throwing three interceptions as Cleveland beat Jacksonville 31-27. The Browns started veteran Joe Flacco for the second week in a row.
