Jaguars' Travis Etienne: In line for elevated role
Travis Etienne is slated to be the Jacksonville Jaguars' lead running back Sunday in Detroit with Tank Bigsby (ankle) ruled out for the contest.Etienne acted as the primary RB for most of this past Sunday's loss to the Vikings after Tank Bigsby (ankle) made an early exit, turning 11 carries into 44 yards and his only target into a catch for minus-1 yard. Bigsby wasn't able to practice this week prior to Friday's declaration, and D'Ernest Johnson had a cap on his reps due to a hamstring issue. Considering the situation, Etienne could be in line for a large workload Sunday against a Lions defense that has given up seven TDs (tied for 21st) and 4.19 YPC (21st) to opposing running backs in nine games this season.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Steps in as lead back
Travis Etienne rushed the ball 11 times for 44 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings. He also recorded one catch on one target for negative one yard.Etienne recorded the first carry of the game for the Jacksonville Jaguars, though he appeared destined to continue to split work with Tank Bigsby (ankle). However, Bigsby suffered an injury early in the first quarter and managed to return for only one carry in the second quarter before spending the rest of the game on the sidelines. Even with his highest carry total since Week 4, Etienne failed to make much of an impact, though he did have an apparent touchdown overturned upon review. He could be in line to lead the backfield again in Week 11 against the Lions, pending Bigsby's availability.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Ready for Week 10
Travis Etienne (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.Both Etienne and Tank Bigsby (ankle) were limited in practice all week, but both running backs will be available to the Jacksonville Jaguars offense Week 10. During this past Sunday's loss at Philadelphia, Etienne earned a 31 percent snap share and had five touches for 30 yards from scrimmage, while Bigsby handled 52 percent of the snaps en route to eight carries for 22 yards. The breakdown between the two should be somewhat similar this weekend.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Logs another limited practice
Travis Etienne (hamstring) remained limited in practice Thursday.The same applies to Tank Bigsby (ankle), while D'Ernest Johnson (hamstring) was tacked on to the Jacksonville Jaguars' Week 10 injury report after logging a limited session Thursday. Added context regarding the running back trio's statuses for Sunday's game against the Vikings will arrive Friday, but both Etienne and Bigsby played through their respective injuries last week, and it'd be surprising if either were unavailable this weekend.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Limited in practice
Travis Etienne (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.Etienne returned from a two-game absence for Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles and played 72 percent of snaps in the first half, but he then took just nine percent of snaps post-halftime after his dropped pass late in the second quarter landed in a defender's hands for an interception. While he'll likely to play through the hamstring injury again this Sunday against the Vikings, it's difficult to project what kind of role Etienne will have in a backfield that also includes Tank Bigsby (ankle) and D'Ernest Johnson.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Mild output in return
Travis Etienne (hamstring) rushed three times for 24 yards while catching two of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.Tank Bigsby led Jacksonville's backfield with eight touches, but Etienne finished as the team's leading rusher. Neither tailback provided positive outputs Sunday, resulting in the expected cannibalization of fantasy value upon Etienne's return. A similar timeshare should be expected when the Jacksonville Jaguars host the Vikings next Sunday.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Active in Week 9
Travis Etienne (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Eagles.Etienne practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and was reported to be trending toward active status earlier Sunday. With his availability now confirmed, Etienne will return from a two-game absence to a murky outlook in terms of workload, as backfield mate Tank Bigsby, who proved amply capable of handling the lead-back role over the previous two games, also is active after overcoming an ankle injury.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Tracking toward playing Sunday
Travis Etienne remains listed as questionable but is considered likely to play Sunday against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Along with Etienne, fellow running back Tank Bigsby is carrying a questionable tag into Sunday, with head coach Doug Pederson previously labeling both players as game-time decisions. Rapoport relays that Bigsby and Etienne are both likely to be officially cleared to play when Jacksonville releases its inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, but the breakdown of snaps and touches between the two backs is difficult to project. Pederson has said that Etienne will return to the starting role once healthy, but Etienne is averaging 4.1 yards per carry on the season and had struggled mightily in his last two abbreviated outings before missing the previous two games with the hamstring injury. Bigsby, meanwhile, served as Jacksonville's lead runner in Weeks 7 and 8 and carried 44 times for 196 yards (4.5 average) and two touchdowns, potentially putting himself on track to maintain a role even when Etienne is healthy. While Etienne could thus be at risk of losing out on some touches, he shouldn't lose any work in the passing game to Bigsby, who had routinely been subbed out for D'Ernest Johnson in those situations the past two weeks.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Questionable along with Bigsby
Travis Etienne (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.Etienne and Tank Bigsby (ankle) are both listed as questionable. Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Etienne will likely be a game-time decision, per Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL Radio. If both running backs suit up, they likely would cut into each other's fantasy value while forming a timeshare, but this fluid situation will bear monitoring as inactives are announced approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Jaguars' Travis Etienne: Stays limited in practice
Travis Etienne (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.Etienne hasn't taken part in a full practice since Week 4 and has sat out the Jacksonville Jaguars' last two games, so he may need to upgrade his activity Friday to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game in Philadelphia. Head coach Doug Pederson has suggested that he's optimistic about Etienne's chances of playing Sunday, but even if the 25-year-old is available for the Week 9 contest, he could find himself in a timeshare out of the backfield with Tank Bigsby (ankle).
