The Jacksonville Jaguars unveiled their 2026 regular-season schedule on May 14, 2026, alongside the rest of the NFL. The announcement included the dates and opponents for all 17 games, but one detail stole the spotlight: a video featuring quarterback Trevor Lawrence sitting in a barber’s chair as his long hair was trimmed away.
The video, posted by the Jaguars’ official account, showed Lawrence’s hair being cut, revealing a drastically different look. Fans and media quickly questioned whether the quarterback had truly sacrificed his signature locks for content.

Social media erupted with reactions, with many fans speculating about the authenticity of the haircut. However, the Jaguars soon clarified the situation. On May 15, 2026, the team released a behind-the-scenes video explaining the process, confirming that the haircut was staged using a wig.
No need to wig out!
