  • Pre-Season Outlook

    The Jaguars coaches hope that improved offensive line play might jumpstart an offense that collapsed in 2023 following a promising 2022. Etienne arguably was affected worse than any other Jaguar, watching his brilliant 5.1 yards per carry from 2022 fall to a plodding 3.8 yards per carry last year. The personnel of both offensive lines was mostly the same, and the 2024 offensive line looks identical to the 2023 version save for the modest free agent signing of center Mitch Morse, so the explanation from the Jaguars coaches and front office seems more like the best excuse on hand rather than a serious self-inventory. If the Jaguars coaches are right and have an actual plan to fix the problem they named then there should be an emphatic resurgence on the horizon for the Jaguars offense. Players like Etienne and Trevor Lawrence are far too talented to struggle as badly as they did in 2023, so if Doug Pederson and company are on it then they should soon have improved results to point toward. The good news for Etienne either way is that 2023 third-round pick Tank Bigsby does not appear to be any threat.

  • Fifth-year option picked up

    The Jaguars officially exercised Etienne's fifth-year option Monday.

    Analysis: GM Trent Baalke said Saturday that Jacksonville would pick up the fifth-year options of both Etienne and quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and the team has now made both moves official. Since missing his entire rookie season due to a Lisfranc injury, Etienne has compiled back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing campaigns and totaled 17 touchdowns over the last two seasons. Now signed through the 2025 season, Etienne is locked in atop Jacksonville's backfield for the next two years, with Tank Bigsby and…read more

  • To get fifth-year option

    GM Trent Baalke said Saturday that the Jaguars will exercise the fifth-year option on Etienne's rookie contract, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: The same can be said for fellow 2021 first-round pick Trevor Lawrence, which will become official by Thursday's deadline to lock in such options. After getting drafted three years ago, Etienne's pro debut was delayed due to a Lisfranc injury during the preseason in August 2021, but he's since rushed for more than 1,000 yards in both of the last two seasons while racking up 93 catches for 792 yards in 34 regular-season contests. He'll continue to lead Jacksonville's backfield for the next two…read more

  • Reaches 1,000 rushing yards

    Etienne rushed the ball 16 times for 57 yards in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Titans. He added five receptions on six targets for 30 yards.

    Analysis: Etienne was scripted out of rushing attempts in the second half with the Jaguars chasing the lead, though he still managed to top 1,000 rushing yards for the second time in as many pro seasons. He also matched his season high with five receptions -- his first such performance came in Week 1 -- and ended the campaign with 476 receiving yards and 58 receptions, both of which were significant improvements over his rookie season. Given his improvement in his second year, it's almost certain that…read more

  • Standout performance in win

    Etienne rushed 16 times for 102 yards and two touchdowns and brought in both targets for 16 yards in the Jaguars' 26-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Stymied on the ground for an extended stretch of games, Etienne put together his second-highest rushing yardage tally of the season with a big lift from a 62-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. Etienne added a one-yard scoring rush in the fourth quarter to close out the rout, marking his first multi-touchdown effort since Week 7. Etienne will aim to help the Jaguars lock up a playoff berth in Week 18 on the road against the Titans.

  • Held to 31 yards on nine touches

    Etienne rushed six times for 12 yards and caught all three of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Etienne saw his touch count decrease for the third week in a row, but this time it was due to an undesirable game script that had the Jaguars starting the second half down 20-0. The Clemson product didn't help the situation when given opportunities, finishing with a per-carry average well below 4.0 yards for the fourth time over his last five starts. Etienne's fantasy value is heavily tied to his usage, and his recent decline in touches makes him a riskier play than usual against Carolina on…read more

  • Struggles in tough matchup

    Etienne took 10 carries for 31 yards and caught four of six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 23-7 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Etienne was cleared of the rib injury designation that had plagued him in recent weeks, but the improved health did not result in improved results on the field. The 24-year-old finished with a per-carry average below four yards for the eighth time over his last nine games. He has helped offset those shortcomings as a rusher by averaging 3.3 receptions and 29.7 receiving yards over that same timeframe. Etienne still maintains a stranglehold on the starting job in Jacksonville heading into next…read more

  • Set to play Sunday

    Etienne (ribs) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Etienne has been managing a rib injury since getting banged up Week 12, but unlike the last two weeks when was deemed questionable on the Jaguars' final injury reports, the running back's status for this Sunday's game isn't in question. In the team's 31-27 loss to the Browns in Week 14, Etienne carried 14 times for 35 yards and a TD and added four catches for 37 yards, while logging 59 of a possible 76 snaps. This weekend, he'll take aim at a Ravens defense that Kyren Williams ran for 114 yards…read more

  • Limited again Thursday

    Etienne (ribs) remained limited in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Etienne has been dealing with a rib issue for a couple weeks but has yet to miss a game. He should be ready to go for Sunday night's AFC clash with the Ravens, but may have to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 15 injury designation.

  • Limited in practice

    Etienne (ribs) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Etienne will likely play through the rib injury for a third straight week when the Jaguars host the Ravens this Sunday. D'Ernest Johnson's role expanded a bit Weeks 11 through 13, but Etienne took on 78 percent of the snaps on offense and 18 of the 23 running back touches in a 31-27 loss to Cleveland in Week 14.

  • Tallies 10th touchdown

    Etienne rushed the ball 14 times for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Browns. He added four receptions on four targets for 37 yards.

    Analysis: Etienne played through a rib injury that had him questionable leading up to Sunday's contest and accounted for 14 of the team's 17 touches by running backs. He was inefficient with those touches by averaging just 2.5 yards per carry, though he did manage a long run of 16 yards midway through the first quarter and also found the end zone on a one-yard dive late in the third quarter -- his 10th total score of the campaign. Etienne was also encouragingly involved as a pass catcher and has exactly…read more

    Analysis: Etienne approached the contest listed as questionable after logging limited practices Wednesday through Friday. The running back was also deemed questionable ahead of this past Monday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Bengals with the same injury, but he suited up and carried 11 times for 45 yards and a TD, to go along with four catches for 34 yards. With his Week 14 active status confirmed, Etienne -- who is averaging 17.1 carries and 3.3 catches per game thus far -- is in line to continue to pace…read more

    Etienne (ribs) is likely to play against the Browns on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Etienne has been dealing with an injury to his ribs since getting hurt against Houston in Week 12, but he was able to suit up last Monday in a loss to Cincinnati and appears set to do so again Sunday against Cleveland. The talented running back is likely to have quarterback Trevor Lawrence available to get the ball to him, as Lawrence is trending toward playing despite dealing with a high-ankle sprain. Etienne has only one 100-yard rushing game on his ledger this season, but he's established a…read more

    Analysis: Etienne played through the same injury Monday against Cincinnati, taking 15 touches for 79 yards and a touchdown in a game that saw quarterback Trevor Lawrence suffer a high-ankle sprain. The Jaguars haven't ruled Lawrence out for Sunday's game against Cleveland, but that could end up happening later in the week. If so, Etienne might be leaned on even more than usual, albeit within the context of a weaker-than-usual offense that's missing Lawrence, wideout Christian Kirk (core) and potentially…read more

    Etienne (ribs) rushed 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown while catching all four of his targets for 34 yards in Monday's 34-31 overtime loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Etienne capped Jacksonville's first drive with a four-yard rushing touchdown but finished with his second-fewest rushing attempts and third-fewest rushing yards of the season, perhaps due to the lingering effects of the rib injury that limited his practice participation heading into the game. Trevor Lawrence (ankle) accounted for the team's next three scores with two passing touchdowns and a quarterback sneak prior to exiting in the fourth quarter.

    Analysis: The injury designation leaves open the possibility Etienne could miss the primetime matchup, but Pederson seemed relatively confident following Saturday's practice the third-year back would be available. Expect the backup, D'Ernest Johnson, to still be a factor in the game plan, particularly if the Jaguars jump out to a commanding lead early on.

    Etienne (ribs) is expected play Monday against the Bengals according to head coach Doug Pederson, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Jaguars haven't released their final injury report of the week, but suffice to say it seems as if the star back will be available for the primetime contest. Since the team's Week 9 bye, Etienne has struggled to produce yards, as he's averaged 3.3 yards per carry on 43 attempts while failing to reach the end zone in each of the last three outings.

Etienne now has two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Monday's game against the Bengals, but O'Brien notes that the Jaguars' leading rusher sounded encouraged Thursday regarding his Week 13 availability.

The elusive running back managed to play through his chest injury during Sunday's 24-21 win over the Texans, though he briefly left the field in the first half.

    Etienne rushed 20 times for 56 yards while catching four of six targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Etienne exited for a few minutes in the first half to be evaluated for a chest injury, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, but he returned to the game and was stuffed from the 1-yard line on the final play before halftime. Jacksonville worked it down to the 1-yard line again in the third quarter, and Etienne was again denied on first-and-goal before the Jaguars went to the air for a go-ahead Calvin Ridley touchdown.

    Etienne rushed the ball 14 times for 52 yards in Sunday's 34-14 win over the Titans. He added three receptions on three targets for seven yards.

    Analysis: Both matchup and game script combined to work against Etienne in the easy win, as the Titans' defense tilts opposing offenses to the air. As a result, Trevor Lawrence attempted 19 passes in the first half while the Jaguars jumped out to a two-score lead. While playing from ahead and running out the clock, Jacksonville then elected to get Tank Bigsby significantly involved in the final two quarters. That left Etienne with another unproductive game, as he has picked up only 103 total yards…read more

  • Held in check by 49ers

    Etienne rushed nine times for 35 yards and caught two of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Etienne finished with fewer than 12 carries for the first time this season as Jacksonville abandoned the run after getting down big. The starting running back's touchdown streak ended at four games and seven scrimmage touchdowns in a game that also saw Chrisitan McCaffrey's touchdown streak snapped at 17 games. The 6-3 Jaguars will likely have a more favorable game script at home against the 3-6 Titans in Week 11, which should lead to a larger workload for Etienne.

    Etienne rushed 24 times for 79 yards and ran in a two-point conversion while catching three of six targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: After rushing for two touchdowns in each of Jacksonville's previous three games, Etienne scored the first receiving touchdown of his career on a 56-yard catch in the third quarter and immediately followed that up by running in a two-point conversion. Shortly prior to that productive sequence, Etienne had left the game to be evaluated for an ankle injury.

    Etienne returned to Sunday's game against the Steelers after leaving for a brief spell in the third quarter to be evaluated for an ankle injury, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Analysis: After limping off the field on the Jaguars' first possession of the third quarter, Etienne headed into the medical tent on the sideline to get his ankle checked out. Tank Bigsby came off the bench and fumbled on his third carry of the drive, but Etienne received the green light to return to the field on the Jaguars' ensuing possession. Etienne looks like he'll be able to finish the game as Jacksonville's top back, and the team's upcoming Week 9 bye should afford him some extra time for his…read more

    Etienne was diagnosed with an ankle injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Steelers and is questionable to return.

    Analysis: Etienne carried 15 times for 61 yards and caught one of two targets for an 11-yard gain before limping off the field following a play on the Jaguars' first possession of the second half. The extent of his ankle injury isn't known, but if Etienne is unable to finish the contest, the Jaguars will get by with Tank Bigsby, D'Ernest Johnson and JaMycal Hasty as their running backs for the rest of the day.

  • Two more touchdowns in win

    Etienne rushed 14 times for 53 yards and two touchdowns and secured three of five targets for 24 yards in the Jaguars' 31-24 win over the Saints on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Etienne found the end zone from two and 17 yards out in the first and second quarters, respectively, giving him his third consecutive multi-touchdown game. The third-year back did often find running room at a premium against a tough Saints defensive front seven, as he gained just 36 yards on the 13 other carries outside of his second scoring scamper. Etienne has been at 55 rushing yards or less in three of his last four games, but his recent touchdown output has his fantasy stock surging…read more

    Analysis: The Colts' run defense did a very good job overall limiting Etienne's efficiency, but the third-year back salvaged his fantasy day with two- and 22-yard touchdown scoring runs in the second quarter, the latter coming on a direct snap on the first play immediately following Gardner Minshew's fumble. Etienne crossed the goal line just once in the first four games of the season, but he's now recorded four touchdowns in the last pair of contests heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Saints…read more

    Eitienne rushed 26 times for 136 yards and two touchdowns and caught four of five targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 25-20 win against the Bills. He also secured a successful two-point conversion.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old broke the century mark on the ground for the first time this season and also reached the end zone for the first time since Week 1. Etienne tallied both scores in the fourth quarter Sunday and essentially put the game away with a 35-yard touchdown run in the final minutes. Through five games this season, he's run for 396 yards and three touchdowns on 95 carries while catching 18 passes for 144 yards. A divisional matchup with the Colts awaits in Week 6.

  • Contained by Falcons

    Etienne rushed 20 times for 55 yards and caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Etienne struggled to find much room to run, with his long gain on the ground going for just seven yards. While he's yet to put together consecutive big games this season, Etienne garnered 23 touches for the third time in four appearances. His consistent role offers a decent floor ahead of the Bills' trip to London to play the Jags in Week 5.

  • Strong all-around numbers in loss

    Etienne rushed 19 times for 88 yards and brought in four of five targets for 50 yards in the Jaguars' 37-17 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Amid a shocking 20-point upset loss, Etienne found a way to shine with his versatile skill set on the way to season highs in both rushing and receiving yards. The third-year back finished tied for second in receptions while comfortably pacing the team in rushing yards, and his combined 23 touches tied the season high he'd established in Week 1. Etienne next takes aim at the Falcons in a Week 4 London matchup.

    Etienne (cramps) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report ahead of Sunday's game against Houston.

    Analysis: Etienne missed out on a few snaps in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Chiefs after experiencing cramping, though it probably didn't cost him many fantasy points with Jacksonville looking to throw at that point. He'll continue as the team's lead back in the home opener this Sunday after taking 30 of the 39 running back carries and eight of the 10 targets in two straight road games to start the season.

  • Battles cramps late in Week 2 loss

    Etienne (cramps) rushed 12 times for 40 yards and caught two of three targets for two yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to Kansas City but dealt with cramps in the fourth quarter, Mia O'Brien of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Analysis: Etienne nearly enjoyed a monopoly on touches out of the backfield while in the game, as D'Ernest Johnson accounted for only one carry and one target, while Tank Bigsby didn't register a touch. If his issue was indeed related to cramping, Etienne's availability for a juicy Week 3 matchup with the Texans shouldn't be impacted, but the starting running back's practice status during the week will be worth monitoring.

  • Seals win with late TD

    Etienne carried the ball 18 times for 77 yards and a touchdown and caught all five of his targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: The running back had trouble finding running room early, but after a Tyson Campbell interception in the fourth quarter gave the Jaguars a chance to put the game away, Etienne broke free for a 26-yard TD scamper to score the final points of the afternoon. If there was a small yellow flag for his fantasy value, it's that rookie RB Tank Bigsby looked good in the red zone and scored a one-yard touchdown of his own, but the Jacksonville offense figures to be productive enough to give both backs…read more

  • Scores in preseason finale

    Etienne rushed eight times for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 31-18 preseason win over the Dolphins on Saturday night.

    Analysis: Etienne finished the Jaguars' second drive with a three-yard touchdown run, putting a cap on a successful preseason. The 2021 first-round pick should be the focal point of Jacksonville's ground attack right from the start of the season after racking up 1,125 rushing yards and five touchdowns and adding 316 receiving yards over 17 games a year ago, although rookie Tank Bigsby should also enjoy a solid complementary role.

  • Improvements noted by coach

    Jaguars running back coach Bernie Parmalee indicates that he's seen improvements from Etienne as the 2023 season approaches, Alessandra Pontbriand of news4jax.com reports. "Really his all-around game (has improved)," Parmalee noted Wednesday of the 2021 first-rounder. "His reads, which he has done a phenomenal job this year. Pass (protection), he has really taken that to a new level."

    Analysis: After missing his entire rookie campaign due to a foot injury, Etienne played in all 17 regular-season games in 2022 en route to logging 220 carries for 1,125 yards and five TDs to go along with 35 catches (on 45 targets) for 316 yards. This coming season, the 24-year-old remains entrenched atop a Jacksonville RB depth chart that also includes rookie third-rounder Tank Bigsby, JaMycal Hasty, D'Ernest Johnson and Snoop Conner. In that context, an uptick in production from Etienne in his third…read more

  • Plays well in playoff loss

    Etienne rushed the ball 10 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs. He added three receptions for 18 yards.

    Analysis: Etienne paced the Jaguars' backfield in touches, though their gameplan quickly became pass-heavy as the team attempted to keep pace with the Chiefs. Despite the limited volume, Etienne still was a spark in the offense, particularly early in the fourth quarter when he found the end zone on a four-yard rush. His receiving volume remained underwhelming, though Etienne managed three receptions for the third time in his last five games. He will now look toward his third NFL season, and he should be…read more

  • Tops century mark in postseason win

    Etienne rushed the ball 20 times for 109 yards in Saturday's 31-30 wild-card round win over the Chargers. He added one reception for 12 yards.

    Analysis: Etienne had limited opportunity in the first half, as the Jaguars struggled offensively. However, he produced consistently with the ball in his hands and averaged 5.5 yards per carry. His performance was highlighted by a 25-yard gain on a game-deciding fourth down play with just under two minutes remaining in the game. After seeing only 16 carries combined across his previous two games, Etienne showed the ability to serve as a workhorse back in the Jaguars' comeback win.

    Etienne rushed the ball seven times for 17 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Titans. He added two receptions for 17 yards.

    Analysis: Etienne led the Jaguars backfield in rushing attempts, though he still saw very limited volume. The stout Tennessee defensive line limited his efficiency, as his longest rush of the day went for seven yards and he averaged only 2.4 yards per attempt. Etienne closes the regular season with 1,125 rushing yards and five touchdowns in his first healthy campaign in the NFL. He'll lead the Jacksonville backfield on a postseason run.

    Analysis: Etienne delivered a knockout blow to the Texans in the second quarter, taking a carry 62 yards for the touchdown and in the process posting a solid box score for his fantasy investors. The lack of workload in a meaningless blowout was a known risk going into the contest, but with this performance, Etienne offers a reminder that he doesn't need much opportunity to do big damage.

    Analysis: Etienne was given a robust workload with head coach Doug Pederson picking his spots against the Jets' talented pass defense. The second-year back responded in fine form, gaining consistent yardage on the ground and contributing through the air by equaling a season high in receptions.

Things got off to a poor start in Sunday's win over Dallas, as he lost a fumble on his fourth touch of the game.

    Etienne rushed the ball 17 times for 32 yards in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Etienne accounted for 17 of Jacksonville's 22 carries by skill position players, but he turned in another disappointing performance. His longest gain of the day went for only seven yards, and he was not targeted for the first time in a full game this season. Etienne has now failed to top 55 rushing yards in four consecutive contests and also hasn't found the end zone in that span.

    Etienne rushed 13 times for 54 yards and secured all three targets for 12 yards in the Jaguars' 40-14 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Etienne was able to overcome his questionable designation due to a foot injury and was reasonably productive with his opportunities. However, game script eventually turned completely away from the ground attack, leaving Etienne with a much lighter workload than ideal. The second-year back's next opportunity to build his numbers back up comes in a tough Week 14 road battle against the Titans.

    Analysis: Etienne received the questionable tag after being a limited practice participant this week, but he's been cleared to take the field for Sunday's contest. He played only five snaps before he suffered the foot injury Week 12 versus Baltimore, but it appears he won't miss additional time.

    Analysis: Etienne was forced to exit Jacksonville's Week 12 win over Baltimore in the first quarter due to a mild left foot sprain. Given that he missed his entire rookie season due to a Lisfranc injury to the same foot, the nature of Etienne's exit was particularly concerning. However, both he and the team have since downplayed the foot injury, and Etienne practiced in limited fashion throughout the week. It's unclear whether he will handle a full workload in the event that he is active.

    Etienne rushed 11 times for 45 yards and secured all three targets for 28 yards in the Jaguars' 27-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

    Analysis: Etienne took all but one of the Jaguars' running back carries on the afternoon, but as his final workload implies, he clearly was limited by game script. The talented second-year back's streak of three consecutive 100-yard efforts was snapped with the reduced volume, but Etienne naturally retains plenty of fantasy value heading into the Week 11 bye ahead of a Week 12 home matchup against the Ravens.

    Etienne rushed the ball 28 times for 109 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders. He added two receptions on two targets for 17 yards.

    Analysis: While it wasn't his most efficient game, Etienne continues to see his involvement in the Jaguars' offense climb. He earned a career-high 28 rushing attempts and also topped 100 rushing yards for the third consecutive game. Etienne's performance was highlighted by rushing scores of one and five yards with his longest rushes going for 18, 16 and 13 yards.

    Analysis: As expected, Etienne was used as Jacksonville's workhorse back and tallied a career-high in attempts and yards. He had a number of explosive plays, highlighted by a 49-yard gain early in the second quarter, and he also found the end zone on a one-yard plunge to briefly put the Jaguars ahead late in the fourth quarter. The only thing lacking from the performance was extensive involvement as a receiver, but Etienne's otherwise elite involvement and efficiency far outweighed any concerns.

    Analysis: Etienne scored from seven yards out on Jacksonville's first drive for his first NFL touchdown.

    Analysis: Etienne's rushing yardage total was both a team- and career-high figure, and he's now encouragingly logged double-digit carries in three of his last four games. Etienne naturally continues to be consistently involved in the passing game as well, although his target total Sunday was his second lowest yet.

Etienne saw 16 touches to James Robinson's 20, but much of his workload came in the second half after the Jaguars had built a large lead, and Robinson remains the clear top option in the backfield for the team.

Robinson out-touched Etienne 25-12, though Etienne did the better work as a receiver.

    Analysis: Game flow will likely dictate the extent to which both Etienne and Robinson are used, but the Jaguars seem content to have a roughly even timeshare in place for the second week in a row. Each back logged 31 offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Commanders, but Robinson (11 carries and one reception for 69 total yards and two touchdowns) handily outproduced Etienne (four carries and two receptions for 65 yards) from a fantasy perspective.

    Analysis: Etienne suited up after sitting out Jacksonville's preseason opener, but he was held in check by Cleveland's defense. Fellow running back James Robinson (Achilles) didn't suit up for this one but has been splitting first-team reps with Etienne in practice, so the Jaguars seem likely to employ a backfield timeshare when the games start to count.

The 2021 first-round pick may eventually face competition from James Robinson, who is coming back from an Achilles tear, but reports out of camp suggest Etienne has gobbled up first-team reps (and looked good in the process).

"[Etienne is] doing a great job handling a lot of information that we're throwing at the guys," Pederson said. "We're putting him in different spots and seeing what he can do right now."

    Analysis: The 2021 first-round pick was unable to make his NFL debut last year after suffering a Lisfranc injury during the preseason, but the new coach has liked what he's seen during the offseason program. The 23-year-old lined up at both running back and wide receiver during rookie minicamp last year, and the new coaching staff also has a versatile role in mind for him in 2022. The availability of James Robinson (Achilles) remains up in the air for the start of the season, leaving Etienne likely to be…read more

  • No restrictions for OTAs

    Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Etienne (foot) is a full-go for all practice activities at OTAs, NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Etienne, a 2021 first-round pick, missed his entire rookie season due to a left Lisfranc injury, but he now appears to be fully healthy. That recovery timetable lines up, as the running back stated he was at 85-90 percent form back in April. Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville reports Etienne participated in passing drills while fully dressed Monday, working with quarterback and former Clemson teammate Trevor Lawrence. With James Robinson recovering from an Achilles tear and unable to…read more

  • Says he's 85-90 percent healthy

    Etienne (foot) told reporters Tuesday that he's 85-90 percent recovered from his Lisfranc injury, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville reports.

    Analysis: Etienne also said he wouldn't notice the screw in his foot if he didn't already know it was there, per Gene Frenette of The Florida Times-Union. Two weeks prior, new Jaguars coach Doug Pederson told reporters he expects the young running back to participate in offseason workouts, whereas third-year pro James Robinson (torn Achilles) won't participate in OTAs. The extent of Etienne's participation this spring remains to be seen, but the timing of the injuries does mean he's at less risk than…read more

  • Should return for OTAs

    Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that he expects Etienne (foot) to take part in workouts early in the team's offseason program, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Etienne had his entire rookie season wiped out after the 2021 first-round pick suffered a Lisfranc injury in the preseason that later required surgery. Heading into last season, Etienne was expected to work in tandem out of the backfield with James Robinson and handle a key role in the passing game, but the Clemson product may head into the offseason as the Jaguars' clear No. 1 back while Robinson works his way back from the torn Achilles' tendon he suffered in late December. Pederson already…read more

  • Recovery ahead of schedule

    Etienne is a bit ahead of schedule in his recovery from left foot surgery, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Etienne underwent surgery in early September for a Lisfranc injury in his left foot and missed the entire 2021 campaign. Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke didn't provide any specifics regarding the 2021 first-round pick's recovery, but it's nonetheless a good sign Etienne is apparently ahead of schedule. The 23-year-old should have a chance to be ready for the start of training camp this summer, though his outlook is likely to remain a bit uncertain until he's back on the field for some…read more

  • On track for training camp

    Etienne (foot) said Monday his rehab is progressing well and he expects to "be ready for training camp," John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Etienne, who missed his entire rookie campaign due to a Lisfranc injury in his left foot, has already resumed running in a pool in his rehab process, per Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville. His next big hurdle will be to return to full speed in running drills and get back to strength training. With James Robinson having suffered a torn left Achilles in mid-December, both Jacksonville's top backfield options are currently focused on returning to health for the 2022 campaign.

  • Shifts back to injured reserve

    Etienne (foot) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday and moved to injured reserve.

    Analysis: Etienne was transferred to the COVID list last week but is now back on injured reserve after clearing the health and safety protocols. The rookie first-round pick never saw the field the season after undergoing foot surgery in August. Dare Ogunbowale is set to finish the campaign as Jacksonville's top running back with James Robinson also lost to a torn Achilles.

  • Shifts to COVID list

    The Jaguars placed Etienne (foot) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Etienne is already out for the season after undergoing foot surgery back in August, so his move to the COVID-19 list is largely procedural after he tested positive for the virus, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The rookie first-round pick is working to make a full recovery for the start of the Jaguars' offseason program.

  • Looking at four-month timeline

    Etienne (foot) will have surgery Thursday and is facing a four-month recovery timeline thereafter, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Etienne is ineligible for 2021 after being placed on injured reserve during the preseason, but it sounds like he'll at least be healthy before the start of the offseason program next spring. Dr. Robert Anderson will perform surgery Thursday on the rookie's Lisfranc injury, while James Robinson is set to lead the Jacksonville backfield Week 1 against the Texans.

  • Officially out for season

    Etienne (foot) has been placed on injured reserve, making him ineligible to play in 2021, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Etienne needs surgery on his left foot after suffering a Lisfranc injury during Monday's preseason game against New Orleans. Previous reports suggested he'd miss his entire rookie campaign, and the latest update eliminates any glimmer of hope, as players will only be eligible to return from IR if they're placed on it after 4 p.m. ET on Aug. 31 (the deadline to get down to 53 roster spots). The Jaguars' quick decision is yet another indicator of the severity of Etienne's injury, though he should…read more

  • Likely done for season

    Etienne (foot) is likely to miss the entire 2021 season after tests revealed he'll need surgery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The first-round pick was injured in Monday's preseason game against the Saints. He'll reportedly miss multiple months and likely the entire season, leaving James Robinson and Carlos Hyde as the top options in Jacksonville's backfield.

  • Needs more tests on Lisfranc injury

    Etienne (foot) is scheduled for more testing Tuesday after X-Rays on his Lisfranc injury came back negative, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Initially deemed questionable to return after his second-quarter exit, Etienne never made it back to Monday's 23-21 preseason loss to New Orleans, instead donning a walking boot and crutches after the game. His injury has since been identified as a Lisfranc/midfoot sprain, with the Jaguars now trying to figure out how much time he'll miss. Any absence in the regular season would leave more touches for James Robinson, particularly targets, while Carlos Hyde could add some more carries to his…read more

  • Out indefinitely

    Etienne has been diagnosed with a mid-foot sprain in the aftermath of Monday's preseason loss in New Orleans and will be out indefinitely, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Considering the vague prognosis, Etienne's status for Week 1 could be in peril, pending testing once the Jaguars return to Jacksonville. The rookie first-round pick left Monday's game in the second quarter after turning two touches into four yards from scrimmage. Afterward, Etienne was walking with a visible limp and a boot on his left foot. Look for incumbent James Robinson (five carries for 13 yards Monday) and Carlos Hyde (four touches for six total yards) to have elevated stature in the…read more

  • Dons walking boot postgame

    Etienne (foot) was spotted in a walking boot after Monday's preseason loss at New Orleans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Etienne exited the exhibition in the second quarter and was evaluated by the Jaguars' medical staff, who deemed him questionable to return. But the rookie first-rounder was unable to do so, and he'll now undergo additional testing on his left foot once the team gets back to Jacksonville. During a postgame interview, coach Urban Meyer said Etienne may have a sprained foot, per NFL.com. Having said that, the upcoming examination of Etienne's foot will determine the nature of the injury and its…read more

  • Suffers foot injury

    Etienne is questionable to return to Monday's preseason game at New Orleans due to a foot injury.

    Analysis: During the second quarter, Etienne was looked at by the Jaguars' training staff in the sideline tent, but afterward the rookie first-round pick was able to walk on the leg in question, per Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville. With the contest closing in on halftime at the time of the injury announcement, Etienne likely will remain on the sideline until the clock hits zero. If so, he'll end preseason Week 2 with one carry for one yard and one catch (on one target) for three yards.

  • Very quiet to begin preseason

    Etienne carried the ball one time for two yards in Saturday's preseason game against Cleveland. He was also targeted once but did not record a catch.

    Analysis: Etienne got his first and only carry at the beginning of the second quarter. The result wasn't notable, except for the fact that he and Trevor Lawrence got into professional game action at the same time. Etienne was also targeted once but was seemingly limited in his role to ensure his health for the regular season. On the team's initial depth chart, Etienne was placed third among running backs, though he is likely to play a large role in the offense throughout the campaign.

  • Opens third on depth chart

    Etienne is listed as the third running back on Jacksonville's first unofficial depth chart of training camp, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: James Robinson and Carlos Hyde are listed as the co-starters, which echoes head coach Urban Meyer's post-draft comments in which he indicated Robinson and Hyde would be the "1-2 punch" in the run game, while Etienne serves as a third-down back. However, it's difficult to imagine Etienne being limited to a specialized role after being drafted 25th overall, and the depth chart figures to be more fluid after Saturday's preseason opener against the Browns. Etienne has been lining up at both running…read more

  • Versatile role on tap

    Etienne has lined up at running back and wide receiver at rookie minicamp, OTAs and mandatory minicamp, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Urban Meyer said when the 22-year-old was drafted 25th overall the Jaguars planned to utilize the tailback on the outside, and Meyer has followed through on those initial comments. Etienne caught 85 passes for 1,020 yards over his final two seasons at Clemson, and the extra versatility might help keep him and James Robinson on the field at the same time. Etienne's big-play potential could open things up for Trevor Lawrence and the rest of the offense.
