The Jaguars' running back room has been one of the biggest talking points of the early stages of the Liam Coen era, and the Jaguars seemingly made a revealing decision when it comes to the running back room this weekend.
When the Jaguars' starting offense took the field on Saturday, it was Travis Etienne who got the nod for the only drive -- not Tank Bigsby. Bigsby played with the second-team offense, seemingly a change-up from what the Jaguars had displayed throughout most of training camp.

Etienne only touched the ball three times while making the start, but this included a 10-yard catch-and-run on a screen that converted a first-down and showed Etienne's potential value in Coen's offense. The story went on to say Etienne's ability as a pass-catcher could be what separates him from Bigsby, who has struggled on passing downs in his NFL career. There have been other reports floating around X saying Bigsby is well ahead of the rookie Tuten on the depth chart as well. There is still a way to go, but Etienne could be the leader in the clubhouse as we inch closer to the season, however Bigsby will likely still have a role in the offense, at the very least subbing in on early down or in short yardage and goal line situations.
