Doug Pederson confirms that Travis Etienne suffered a shoulder injury on Sunday and *that's* why he didn't play much in the second half.

Pederson said the team didn't want to risk further injury to Etienne. He finished with just six carries for 17, but did have six catches for 43 yards. However, Bigsby stepped in nicely and finished with 13 carries for 101 yards and two TDs. Bigsby has looked good at times, so this is a situation to watch going forward. We can perhaps assume the move to not play Etienne was precautionary, but that remains to be seen. Hopefully practice reports this week will give us a better idea. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get Bigsby if he's on your wire.

Tank Bigsby looking like an entirely new back in 2024 continued to build on his second-year ascension in today’s practice with two explosive rushes and probably another 4-5 solid gains throughout the 11-on-11 teams period. He then added the cherry on the top with a receiving touchdown in 7-on-7 redzone.

The story added this at the end of the blurb about Bigsby: "For all the fantasy football players who were worried about Tank siphoning work from Etienne, it’s possible you may just have been a season early." Etienne is still ranked 8th among our running backs heading into drafts, so Etienne should be fine. However, Bigsby should maybe be on your list as a late-round target as a handcuff.

Jaguars running back Travis Etienne is expected to play Monday against the Bengals.Etienne

Etienne had been limited with a rib injury but head coach Doug Pederson believes he'll be on the field Monday against Cincinnati. As long as Etienne is out there, he is a top fantasy option. The Bengals have been pedestrian against the run, so Etienne should be in line for a pretty good week.

Jaguars have trimmed their roster to 53.

They waived 2022 5th round pick RB Snoop Conner and three 2023 late round picks: TE/FB Derek Parish, S Erick Hallett II & DL Raymond Vohasek.

The Jags have themselves a pretty deep running back room. The emergence of Bigsby over the summer meant Conner's spot on the roster was in danger. With Etienne and Bigsby firmly at the top, Hasty established himself as a change of pace back last season. The team also signed Johnson in the offseason, who of course flashed with the Browns when getting chances behind Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb.

Jaguars Tank Bigsby led all RBs this preseason with 5 runs of 10+ runs.

Bigsby finished with 28 attempts for 159 yards, 83 of those after contact, according to the post. Preseason stats don't get you fantasy points, but Etienne owners should maybe take note. It appears Bigsby has climbed to the RB2 spot on the depth chart ahead of established players like Hasty and Johnson. Bigsby has stood out all through camp, so if you can somehow manage to draft Etienne and Bigsby it may help your RB situation. Etienne can be had in the third round while Bigsby is going in the 12th.

Jaguars’ head coach Doug Pederson told reporters that RB Travis Etienne is “good to go” Sunday vs. the Lions.

This, surprisingly, should be a very interesting game with plenty of fantasy implications, so it's nice that we will have an intriguing piece of the Jaguars' offense back as a part of it. Between Weeks 7-9, Etienne was the RB5 with 22.6 half-PPR points per game, and he will look to start a new streak of RB1 performances against this Detroit team that has allowed the most rushing touchdowns and third-most rushing yards to opposing offenses.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson said he “feels good” about RB Travis Etienne’s chances of playing Sunday vs. Lions.

Pederson said Etienne will go through walkthrough portions of practice today, but they don’t want to rush him to full go before sure he’s 100%. Etienne was apparently cleared to return last week so his chances seem good for Week 13. Hasty and Henderson would likely fill in if Etienne can't go. Hasty looked good in his time last week after Etienne left the game.

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said RB Travis Etienne was cleared to return to the game yesterday with his foot injury but he decided to hold him out not to risk it. They were planning to do more tests but Etienne said he was fine and team thought so too.

It sounds like Etienne would be cleared in Week 13 which would be fantastic ahead of a matchup against the Bears porous defense.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens with a foot injury.

Etienne went to the locker room fairly early after only two carries for three yards. JaMycal Hasty will be among the Jaguars leading the charge in the backfield until, or even if, Etienne returns.

Former Rams RB Darrell Henderson was claimed by the Jaguars, per me and Tom Pelissero.

Henderson could be a compliment to Etienne as a between the tackles runner with the Jags. Hasty should remain in a passing down role behind Etienne. Henderson hasn't played great this season but it could at least be partially due to the Rams offensive line. At this point, treat Henderson as more of a compliment than a starter in fantasy lineups.
