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.

Avoids injury report
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. Etienne's 76 percent snap share through two weeks is similar to what he handled…read more

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.

Limited to 34 total yards
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.

Big-play ability resurfaces
Etienne ran for 108 yards and one touchdown on nine carries and caught three passes for 32 yards on three targets against Houston on Sunday.
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. He'll find the sledding much tougher against Tennessee in Week 18, but even good defenses need to worry about the big…read more

Heavy workload in Week 16 win
Etienne rushed 22 times for 83 yards and brought in all three targets for 29 yards in the Jaguars' 19-3 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
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. Etienne's carry total was his third highest of the season and most voluminous since Week 9, and he'll now have extra time to gear up for a critical Week 17 road divisional clash with the Texans' porous run defense…read more

Gets back on track
Etienne rushed the ball 19 times for 103 yards in Sunday's 40-34 win over the Cowboys. He added two receptions on three targets for 24 yards.
Analysis: Etienne entered the game having recorded only 98 total yards across his last two games, potentially bothered by a foot injury. 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. However, he put together a solid performance from there, highlighted by rushes of 16 and 15 yards as well a 13-yard reception. The end result was Etienne's fourth performance with over 100 rushing yards this season and his second-highest total yards from…read more

Held to 32 yards
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.

Kept in check in Week 13 loss
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.

Good to go Sunday
Etienne (foot) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
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. Etienne should reclaim the workhorse role for Jacksonville while JaMycal Hasty reverts to the No. 2 option in the backfield.

Likely to play Week 13
Etienne (foot), who is officially listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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.

Listed as questionable for Sunday
Etienne (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions after being limited in practice this week.
Analysis: Per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network, coach Doug Pederson indicated that Etienne would be fine to play this weekend, but giving the running back's official questionable designation, his status will be worth confirming ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Assuming he's active, Etienne will be in line to continue to lead the Jaguars' ground game Week 13, with JaMycal Hasty, Snoop Conner and possibly Darrell Henderson (illness/questionable) candidates to log complementary snaps.

On track for Sunday
Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Etienne (foot) is "good to go" for Sunday's game at Detroit, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Etienne was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday due to the left foot sprain he suffered Week 12, but his outlook has apparently improved as of Friday. It's unclear if the 23-year-old will be able to avoid the questionable tag, but he should be expected to play versus the Lions on Sunday regardless.

Etienne (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Head coach Doug Pederson downplayed the injury shortly after the game, noting that Etienne could have returned had the Jaguars not chosen to exercise some extra caution with the running back, who missed the entire 2021 season after getting surgery on the same foot.

Appears on track to play Sunday
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that he expects Etienne (foot) to play Sunday against the Lions, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
Analysis: Pederson added that Etienne is viewed as day-to-day after playing just five snaps in last Sunday's 28-27 win over the Ravens before exiting with a left foot injury in the second quarter. Because the injury was to the same foot in which Etienne hurt during the 2021 preseason before undergoing surgery and missing his entire rookie campaign, the Jaguars were understandably cautious in choosing to hold him out for the rest of the contest.

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Etienne is dealing with a sprained foot, but the running back doesn't require a boot or crutches, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Pederson added that Etienne will be eased into practice during the week. Given that context, Etienne likely will have his practice reps capped, but it sounds like Jacksonville's starting running back could be back on the field as soon as Sunday's Week 13 game in Detroit.

Etienne, who exited Sunday's 28-27 win over the Ravens after just two carries due to a foot injury, downplayed the issue afterward, Adam Stites of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Etienne told John Shipley of SI.com after Sunday's contest that "we'll be straight by next weekend." Meanwhile, head coach Doug Pederson said that Etienne could have returned to the game if necessary, but the Jaguars opted to hold the running back out as a precaution, per The Associated Press. With that in mind, Etienne's status is still worth monitoring ahead of next weekend's game against the Lions, but at this stage it appears as though the he avoided a major setback with his foot Sunday.…read more

Analysis: Etienne missed last season with a Lisfranc injury but hadn't sat out any games heading into Week 12.

Limited opportunity in Week 10 loss
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.

Tops 100 yards, scores twice
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. Even in a relatively uninspiring offense, Etienne has emerged as among the most productive running backs in the league.

Runs through Denver
Etienne rushed the ball 24 times for 156 yards in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos. He added three receptions for six 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.

No. 1 RB following Robinson trade
Etienne is poised to lead the Jaguars backfield after the team dealt James Robinson (knee) to the Jets on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Etienne took on a majority share of the RBs reps for the Jaguars on Sunday against the Giants, earning 57 of 71 offensive snaps and 15 touches for 119 yards from scrimmage with one rushing TD versus Robinson's 12 snaps and zero touches (one target).

Etienne rushed 14 times for 114 yards and a touchdown while catching one of five targets for five yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Giants. He also ran in a two-point conversion and lost a fumble.
Analysis: Etienne scored from seven yards out on Jacksonville's first drive for his first NFL touchdown. The 2021 first-round pick -- who missed his entire rookie campaign due to a Lisfranc injury -- then immediately got into the end zone again for a two-point conversion to give the Jaguars an 8-7 lead. He fumbled at the Giants' five-yard line in the second quarter but made up for it with a 49-yard burst down the sideline early in the third to set up a Trevor Lawrence rushing touchdown.

Team-high rushing total in loss
Etienne rushed 10 times for 86 yards and secured both targets for 22 yards in the Jaguars' 34-27 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Jacksonville.
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. The second-year pro will aim to continue on a positive trajectory in a Week 7 home matchup against the Giants.

Goes for 114 yards on 13 touches
Etienne logged 10 carries for 71 yards and caught three of five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to Houston.
Analysis: Etienne and James Robinson (10 carries for 27 yards) split the backfield work nearly evenly again, but it was the former who finished with the better fantasy line for the second week in a row. One of the bigger busts in fantasy through four weeks, Etienne's big game brings his combined yardage average up to 67.8 through five weeks, albeit with no touchdowns.

Analysis: The Jaguars got off to a quick 14-0 lead without giving Etienne a touch, but the positive game script resulted in only eight touches for both he and starter James Robinson. The blame for the lack of opportunities can be placed on quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who turned the ball over five times following the hot start.

Productive in Sunday's win
Etienne carried the ball 13 times for 45 yards and caught all three of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: The 2021 first-round pick once again appeared dangerous with the ball in his hands, especially as a receiver, but he couldn't quite break away for a big gain. 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.

Stuck in secondary role
Etienne carried the ball nine times for 20 yards in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Colts. He added three receptions for 33 yards.
Analysis: Etienne was reportedly set to split the backfield with James Robinson, but that's not the way things played out on the field. Robinson out-touched Etienne 25-12, though Etienne did the better work as a receiver. Jacksonville has been surprisingly competitive through two weeks, but if they fall behind as expected in future matchups, Etienne may be in a better position to produce. He has five receptions for 51 yards as well as 67 yards on the ground through two games.

Headed for workload split Week 2
Etienne and James Robinson are expected to split the snaps and touches out of the backfield in Sunday's game against the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
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.

Etienne rushed four times for 47 yards and caught two of four passes for 18 yards in Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Etienne ripped off a couple of big runs despite getting just four carries in his 2022 debut. The 2021 first-round pick did cough up the ball once, but it was recovered by Jacksonville, so this wasn't a "doghouse" scenario with new head coach Doug Pederson.

Analysis: While Etienne worked as the Jaguars' top back throughout training camp, Robinson has continued to progress from a torn left Achilles that he suffered Dec. 26. Per DiRocco, Robinson -- who isn't listed on the Jaguars' Week 1 injury report -- isn't expected to be limited Sunday, with his workload dependent on game flow and how he feels as the contest unfolds.

Sitting out final exhibition
Etienne and other starters aren't scheduled to play in the Jaguars' third and final preseason game Saturday against Atlanta, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville reports.
Analysis: Etienne got most of the first-team snaps this preseason -- with Snoop Conner subbing in some -- and took 17 carries for 52 yards and one catch for 10 yards. The 2021 first-round pick looked better than the middling numbers suggest, and he figures to be the lead back Week 1 even if James Robinson (Achilles) is cleared to play -- something coach Doug Pederson expects to happen, per Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network.

Etienne gained 29 yards on eight rushes in Saturday's preseason loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Etienne tallied the first carry of the game and split first-team work with Snoop Conner throughout the first half. He averaged only 3.6 yards per carry but did manage gains of 10 and seven yards. Etienne is likely to be the lead back for the Jaguars to begin the regular season, though James Robinson (Achilles) also may command some reps once healthy.

Gets 10 touches in preseason game
Etienne rushed nine times for 23 yards and caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Friday's 24-13 preseason loss to the Browns.
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. Jacksonville's next preseason game will be Aug. 20 against the Steelers.

On track to play Friday
Head coach Doug Pederson said Etienne, quarterback Trevor Lawrence and other starters will play a couple drives in Friday's preseason game against Cleveland, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Etienne will be taking the field for the first time since suffering a Lisfranc injury in the second week of the preseason his rookie year. 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). Meanwhile, Robinson is steadily working his way up to speed.

Won't play Thursday
Etienne (illness) won't play in the Hall of Fame Game against the Raiders on Thursday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Etienne and QB Trevor Lawrence are among the key players being held out. Reports on Etienne from Jacksonville beat writers have been almost universally positive this summer, but the 2021 first-round pick likely will have a limited impact this week, as he's absent Tuesday due to an illness and won't suit up in Thursday's game, per Eugene Frenette. It's unclear if the two are related, given that coach Doug Pederson also plans to rest QB Trevor Lawrence and other starters.

Impressing new coaching staff
Etienne has made a strong impression with head coach Doug Pederson and the new coaching staff during OTAs, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports. "[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.
