Jacksonville is expected to have Travis Etienne Jr. and Brian Thomas Jr. <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1852971221077418479" rel="noopener">available in its next game</a>, per NFL Network. Both have been hampered by injuries.</p><p>The team is playing Philadelphia on Sunday. Jacksonville is struggling this season with a 2-6 record, and has been one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL. The team started out the year with a 0-4 record, but has won two of the last four.</p><p>Jacksonville is banged up heading into the game. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-tank-bigsby-gets-encouraging-update-ahead-of-eagles-clash">Several offensive players are hurt</a>, including Thomas and Etienne. Running back Tank Bigsby is expected to play with an injured ankle, and wide receiver Gabe Davis is doubtful.</p><p>Thomas is a rookie wide receiver who has put up some solid numbers this year. Etienne entered the season as the team’s top running back.</p><h2>Jaguars can still salvage a miserable campaign</h2><p>Jacksonville entered the 2024 campaign with high expectations. Last offseason, the team gave <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-trevor-lawrence-contract-details-ugly-if-he-doesnt-turn-things-around">a massive contract extension</a> to quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Lawrence got hurt at the end of the 2023 season, which saw the Jags stumble down the stretch.</p><p>The Jaguars were expected to compete for the AFC South division title this season, with a healthy Lawrence back under center. It just hasn’t worked out. Jacksonville has lost game after game in disappointing fashion, and the team is third in the division. Jacksonville is also a disappointing 0-4 on the road this season.</p><p>Both Etienne and Thomas are key players in the offense. This season, Etienne has rushed for 230 yards and two touchdowns, on 56 carries. Thomas has 33 receptions for 573 yards and five touchdowns. The rookie from LSU is quickly becoming the top target in the team’s passing game.</p><p>Jacksonville and the Eagles play Sunday at 4:05 Eastern. Philadelphia enters the game with a 5-2 record.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has scored 2 touchdowns, both rushing, this season.</p><p>Although it has been a relatively slow start to the year for Etienne in 2024, the Clemson product proved his worth in each of his first two seasons in the NFL.</p><p>As a rookie in 2022, he averaged more than 5 yards per carry and rushed for 1,125 yards and 5 touchdowns, in addition to 316 receiving yards. In his second season, Etienne again surpassed the 1,000-yard mark; he rushed for 1,008 yards and 11 touchdowns, as well as 476 receiving yards and a touchdown.</p><p>But the Jaguars may be too far gone this season for Etienne’s return to make much of a difference. Only two teams — the Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans — currently have worse records than Jacksonville, which has defeated the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots for their two wins.</p><p>The schedule doesn’t get any easier either; the Jags visit the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend before hosting the Minnesota Vikings. Then Jacksonville plays in Detroit vs. the Lions, who have been touted as the NFC’s best team, before coming back home to face the Texans in an AFC South showdown.</p><p>Earlier this month, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-owner-throws-support-behind-doug-pederson-despite-slow-start-2024-campaign">Jaguars owner Shad Khan voiced his support for Pederson</a>, who led the team to the playoffs in his first season in 2022 but then oversaw a late-season collapse in 2023 that resulted in the Jags missing the postseason. Since the beginning of December, Jacksonville is 3-11.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They have a much tougher task on their hands in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers, and they recently received some bad news regarding <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jaguars-news-pederson-etienne-jr-declaration-tank-bigsbys-big-day">running back Travis Etienne Jr</a>.</p><p>Etienne picked up a hamstring injury in the Jaguars Week 6 loss to the Chicago Bears, and ended up missing their win over the Patriots. While Etienne is progressing in his recovery, he <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1850419909953835160" rel="noopener">isn’t expected to play</a> in Week 8 against the Packers, meaning that Tank Bigsby will be Jacksonville’s starting running back for the second straight week.</p><p>Via Ian Rapoport:</p><p>“Jaguars RB Travis Etienne Jr., who is questionable with a hamstring injury, is a long-shot to play today, sources say. Another week of Tank Bigsby.”</p><h2><b>Travis Etienne Jr.’s injury helps Tank Bigsby’s fantasy football managers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Travis-Etienne-Jr-of-the-Jaguars.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Corey Perrine-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While Etienne’s latest injury update will have a big impact on the Jags, it also means a lot to fantasy football managers. With Etienne out last week, Bigsby turned in a huge outing against the Patriots (26 CAR, 118 YDS, 2 TD), which was good for 23.8 fantasy points. Even when Etienne has played this season, Bigsby has been more productive than him, so he could be in store for another big day against the Packers.</p><p>Green Bay’s defense is a bit tougher than New England’s, and given how good their offense is, it’s not a stretch to suggest that the Jaguars could be playing catch up in this one, which would limit Bigsby’s role. Considering how he’s averaging 6.2 yards per carry this season, though, it’s safe to assume he’s going to make the most of the touches he receives, and assuming Etienne doesn’t play, which appears to be what will happen, fantasy football managers who have Bigsby on their roster should insert him into their starting lineups.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

And despite running back Tank Bigby’s big day, Doug Pederson made a declaration about Travis Etienne Jr.</p><p>Etienne missed the Jaguars 32-16 win over the Patriots with a hamstring injury while Bigsby carried 26 times for 118 yards and two touchdowns. However, Pederson said Etienne, who has rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of the last two seasons, is still the <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41906836/jaguars-pederson-etienne-rb1-bigsby-big-game" rel="noopener">starting running back</a>, according to espn.com.</p><p>“I’m a believer where injury doesn’t replace your position,” Pederson said. “I think you have to have a fair competition for us. We’re blessed to have two really good running backs right now. When Etienne comes back, he’s just as explosive, just as good, just as powerful, and it’s still his job. “But Tank has done some really good things. We’re going to continue to find ways to put the ball in his hands, too, because he’s a little different runner than Etienne is.”</p><h2><b>Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby putting up numbers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Jacksonville-Jaguars-RB-Tank-Bigsby.jpg"><figcaption>Peter van den Berg-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In Week 5 for the Jaguars, Bigsby carried 13 times for 101 yards. He scored a pair of touchdowns, including a 65-yard run. He saw limited duty against the Bears last week, but had a full go against the Patriots. And he delivered.</p><p>Bigsby is averaging 6.2 yards per carry on the season. He said he wanted to make good on his Jaguars chance.</p><p>“It feels like you don’t get too many opportunities in the National Football League so when you get one you have to take full advantage of them and do it at your best ability,” Bigsby said. “And I felt like as we kept running the ball that the Patriots would get tired, and we just got to keep going and keep going and keep going and keep going. And I just took advantage of those opportunities. I just do whatever I have to do for this team to win. My job, whatever my role is, whatever I have to do, take advantage of the opportunities of course, but just come out and help this team win and that’s what I try to do.”</p><p>Pederson agreed that Bigsby has come on strong for the Jaguars.</p><p>“He’s done a really good job for us going into the season behind (Etienne) and he’s earned the right to be out there,” Pederson said. “He’s earned an opportunity, and he did a nice job today. Ran hard, ran tough as they say, ran behind his pads. The offensive line did a great job for him, tight ends blocking and things of that nature. But he did the rest.”</p><p>A first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Etienne finished eighth in the AP offensive player of the year voting in 2023. He rushed for 1,008 yards and had 476 yards receiving with 12 total touchdowns. Last year for the Jaguars, Etienne played only six games because of injury and finished with 230 yards rushing.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
