Jaguars’ Travis Etienne Jr. injury update is just another blow for Jacksonville
It’s been tough sledding for the Jacksonville Jaguars thus far in the 2024-25 season. The Jaguars suffered a 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 6, and now sit last in the AFC South at 1-5. If the London disappointment wasn’t devastating enough, the Jaguars revealed the latest on running back Travis Etienne Jr.’s hamstring injury.
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson told reporters on Monday that Etienne is now considered week to week, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Etienne exited early in the third quarter of the Week 6 matchup with the Bears, and never returned. It started as another tough performance for the 25-year-old playmaker, as he hauled in zero passes and mustered three carries for minus-one yard.
He has been making an impact on the Jacksonville offense, but it appears that Pederson has favored more Tank Bigsby usage, of late.
Etienne’s numbers over the last few games have curtailed since his solid start to the season. He averaged 15 touches per game through the first three weeks, but only saw six rushing attempts in Week 5. Bigsby had been cooking with steam heading into the London matchup in Week 6. The second-year running back totaled 191 rushing yards over the previous two games, but only managed 24 yards on seven touches against the Bears.
