The Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.

Doug Pederson says Brian Thomas Jr is a game-time decision vs. Eagles.

"He's not going to be 100%, but no one is at this time... we also don't want any set backs."

Travis Etienne is "another one who is probably a game-time decision."

In a follow-up tweet, O'Brien mentions that Gabe Davis is also a game-time decision, so the Jaguars offense is in abject ruin right now. Engram might very well get 12-15 targets in Week 9, while Tank Bigsby should have a locked-in workload as well.

Jaguars coach Doug Pederson tells reporters that he "feels good" that RB Travis Etienne Jr., dealing with a hamstring injury, will be back this week.

Bigsby has been one of the more valuable waiver wire additions this season, but Etienne's return would obviously put a damper on things. Each figure to eat into the other's fantasy value in a tough matchup against the Eagles front in Week 9.

Jaguars injury updates: LT Cam Robinson has cleared concussion protocol. RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) will be a gametime decision. LB Foye Oluokon (foot) & S Andrew Wingard (knee) are trending well but no decision yet about whether they'll be activated vs. Packers.

The Jaguars do kick off at 1:00, so that helps our lineup decisions quite a bit. If Etienne sits, slot Bigsby back in as a low-end RB2.

Jaguars HC Doug Pederson told reporters today that RB Travis Etienne Jr. is now considered week to week due to his hamstring injury.

It's the second-straight week Etienne didn't finish a game. In Week 5, the team said it was a shoulder injury but many questioned if it was more because of a lack of production, especially after Bigsby piled up huge fantasy numbers. But in Week 6, Bigsby was held in check with the Jags playing from behind most of the game. The week to week status means Etienne is very questionable for Week 7, which is another London game for the Jags. The good news is owners will have plenty of time to figure out a plan based on Etienne's game-time status. Bigsby should be a much safer play if he gets the start in what is a favorable matchup against the Patriots. Johnson likely figures in as well. Bigsby should be a popular waiver target this week if he's still available in your league.

Doug Pederson confirms that Travis Etienne suffered a shoulder injury on Sunday and *that's* why he didn't play much in the second half.

Pederson said the team didn't want to risk further injury to Etienne. He finished with just six carries for 17, but did have six catches for 43 yards. However, Bigsby stepped in nicely and finished with 13 carries for 101 yards and two TDs. Bigsby has looked good at times, so this is a situation to watch going forward. We can perhaps assume the move to not play Etienne was precautionary, but that remains to be seen. Hopefully practice reports this week will give us a better idea. It wouldn't be a bad idea to get Bigsby if he's on your wire.

Tank Bigsby looking like an entirely new back in 2024 continued to build on his second-year ascension in today’s practice with two explosive rushes and probably another 4-5 solid gains throughout the 11-on-11 teams period. He then added the cherry on the top with a receiving touchdown in 7-on-7 redzone.

The story added this at the end of the blurb about Bigsby: "For all the fantasy football players who were worried about Tank siphoning work from Etienne, it’s possible you may just have been a season early." Etienne is still ranked 8th among our running backs heading into drafts, so Etienne should be fine. However, Bigsby should maybe be on your list as a late-round target as a handcuff.

Jaguars have trimmed their roster to 53.

They waived 2022 5th round pick RB Snoop Conner and three 2023 late round picks: TE/FB Derek Parish, S Erick Hallett II & DL Raymond Vohasek.

The Jags have themselves a pretty deep running back room. The emergence of Bigsby over the summer meant Conner's spot on the roster was in danger. With Etienne and Bigsby firmly at the top, Hasty established himself as a change of pace back last season. The team also signed Johnson in the offseason, who of course flashed with the Browns when getting chances behind Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb.

Jaguars Tank Bigsby led all RBs this preseason with 5 runs of 10+ runs.

Bigsby finished with 28 attempts for 159 yards, 83 of those after contact, according to the post. Preseason stats don't get you fantasy points, but Etienne owners should maybe take note. It appears Bigsby has climbed to the RB2 spot on the depth chart ahead of established players like Hasty and Johnson. Bigsby has stood out all through camp, so if you can somehow manage to draft Etienne and Bigsby it may help your RB situation. Etienne can be had in the third round while Bigsby is going in the 12th.
