Etienne rushed 12 times for 44 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of three targets for 15 yards in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Etienne's season-opening experience soured significantly with a game-changing fumble, with the third-year back losing the ball at the end of a 10-yard run down to Miami's three-yard line to waste a six-play, 94-yard drive late in the third quarter. Jacksonville appeared on the precipice of what could have been a game-sealing touchdown considering the Jaguars were already up 17-7, but the resulting touchback from the end-zone recovery gave the Dolphins immediate life. Etienne also notably saw backfield mate Tank Bigsby, who had a washout of a rookie 2023 campaign, match him in carries and out-gain him by 29 rushing yards, but whether that was an outlier will only be known in coming games. Etienne will aim to atone for the forgettable afternoon when the Jags host the Browns in Week 2 next Sunday.
