Travis Etienne Jr. Has His Reps Limited Again
Travis Etienne Jr. Has His Reps Limited Again
4 weeks ago
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder) continues to work his way through a shoulder injury and was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Etienne was also limited in all three practices last week before suiting up in the Week 5 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, but he played a season-low 38% of the offensive snaps and saw backfield mate Tank Bigsby once again outproduce him after aggravating his shoulder and missing some time. Head coach Doug Pederson said Etienne is still the team's featured back, but given his injury and Bigsby's performances in recent weeks, it seems likely that Etienne will continue to lose valuable touches to Bigsby moving forward. He should be active this Sunday in London against a tough Chicago Bears defense, where he should be considered a low-end RB2 with limited upside.
