Jaguars’ Travis Etienne: Plays through shoulder issue

Etienne (shoulder) carried the ball 11 times for 50 yards and caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday’s 24-20 loss to the Texans. The running back missed most of the first quarter with a shoulder issue, and while he was able to return to the contest, Etienne was over-shadowed in the Jaguars’ backfield by Tank Bigsby, who amassed 90 rushing yards on only seven carries. It’s also the first time Etienne has failed to catch multiple passes in a regular-season game since Week 14 of the 2022 season. Bigsby’s performance, and Jacksonville’s winless record, could prompt the team to shake things up with a backfield timeshare in Week 5 against the Colts, but if he’s healthy Etienne still figures to be the Jaguars’ top option on the ground.
