Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne was spotted in a Non-Contact Jersey on Thursday with a potential shoulder issue.
On Thursday, Jacksonville Jaguars veteran running back Travis Etienne was spotted in a Non-Contact jersey with a potential shoulder issue. The extent of the injury is not known, but with Etiennes’ continued participation, he’s on track to play against Arizona.
Etienne has experienced a resurgence this season, finishing as a top-15 running back in six games and almost matching last year’s rushing totals in five less games. If Etienne does miss time or the injury limit his snaps, look to fire up rookie Bhayshul Tuten who had fifteen carries for 74 yards and a touchdown.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Travis Etienne took repetitions from the wide receiver position during the team's three-day rookie minicamp over the weekend. "At the worst-case scenario, you have a running back with the skillset of a wide receiver," head coach Urban Meyer explained. ...

Tank Bigsby is heading to Philadelphia in a trade, leaving Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten as fantasy winners!
Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten are big winners as Bigsby is heading to the Eagles for a 2026 5th and 6th round pick.
Travis Etienne is still good at football. He was largely dismissed after a disappointing 2024. With new head coach Liam Cohen calling the offense, Etienne had 143 rushing yards on 16 carries and 3 catches for 13 yards and no touchdowns. This usage is great compared to the uncertainty of this backfield before the season started. The back up running backs got some playing time but none of then got more than 5 carries.
With Bigsby out of the way, Travis Etienne is a league winner if he keeps this pace up throughout the entire season. Tuten is also in must roster territory. Etienne’s price may high but he will cost even more if he keeps producing. Buy Etienne and Tuten in all formats!

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen praised RB Travis Etienne, and called trade rumors absolutely inaccurate.
After about a month of trade rumors surrounding Travis Etienne after the Jaguars drafted two rookie running backs in April, Liam Coen praised Travis Etienne:
He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do, and more. There’s been a consistency. He can shine in ways in space… He’s done a great job. I don’t really understand some of the stuff I’ve kind of seen out there. That’s absolutely inaccurate.
While this puts immediate Etienne trade rumors to rest, the former 1st Round pick still faces long-term competition for touches from Tank Bigsby and Bhayshul Tuten. If the Jaguars go through camp, Etienne may be made available if his still set is found redundant later on in the depth chart. Tuten is currently drafted ahead of Etienne on most fantasy platforms, which may be putting the cart before the horse.

The Carolina Panthers added to their running back room by taking Trevor Etienne in Round 4 of the 2025 NFL Draft
The Carolina Panthers extended Chuba Hubbard in November, added 1,000-yard rusher Rico Dowdle in free agency, await a rehab stint for last year’s second-round pick, Jonathon Brooks, and still have Raheem Blackshear. That did not stop them from taking advantage of a deep running back class when they selected Trevor Etienne (Florida, Georgia) in the fourth round, No. 144 overall.
Etienne joins his brother, Travis (RB – JAX), in the NFL, though the younger sibling has a tougher road to NFL and fantasy relevance. He lacks some of the speed and power that Travis demonstrated when he took over the starting gig in Jacksonville. More telling is that Trevor is a less-efficient version of his older brother; that’s saying a lot as Travis is far from among the most efficient in the league.
Most concerning is Etienne’s path to playing time. Dowdle is on a one-year contract, but when he becomes a free agent, Brooks should have turned the corner from his ACL rehab. Hubbard is entrenched as the starter after an impressive 2024, leaving Etienne staring at third on the depth chart for the foreseeable future, barring an amazing camp.
Etienne wrapped his three-year career with 2,081 yards on the ground while catching 62 passes. He tacked on a booking for Driving Under the Influence and three other charges in 2024, leading some to question his character.

Travis Etienne at RB31 Could be a Steal of 2025 Fantasy Drafts
Travis Etienne’s RB31 ADP on Underdog offers intriguing value for fantasy managers heading into the 2025 season. After a strong 2023 campaign in which he finished with over 1,400 total scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns, Etienne’s potential was on full display. His dual-threat ability, rushing for 1,008 yards on 267 attempts and adding 476 receiving yards on 58 catches, made him a key fantasy contributor, particularly in PPR formats. While his 3.8 yards per carry in 2023 wasn’t stellar, Etienne’s consistent touches and versatility in both the rushing and passing games solidified his status as a high-upside fantasy asset. Fast forward to 2024, and Etienne’s role became more nuanced with the emergence of rookie Tank Bigsby, who took over short-yardage and goal-line situations, leading to a slight dip in Etienne’s rushing volume.
Looking ahead to 2025, there’s reason for optimism, especially with a revamped offensive line and the influence of new Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen. Coen has a proven history of utilizing running backs in the passing game, and with Etienne’s skills as a pass-catcher, he could see a larger role in that area. While Bigsby likely continues to take on more rushing duties, Etienne’s value in PPR formats could rise if he’s featured more prominently in the passing game. His ability to contribute in multiple facets of the offense, combined with the potential for increased receiving work, makes him a very appealing option at RB31. With his versatility, steady workload, and an evolving offense, Etienne could be primed for a bounce-back season, offering solid upside at a discounted price.

Travis Etienne had a down year in 2024 and drafters are taking advantage of a dip in ADP.
Travis Etienne has seen a significant rise in average draft position on Underdog. Since February 11th, Etienne has jumped up 3.1 spots in ADP. Since January 27th, Etienne has moved up 34.6 spots.
Etienne soared from RB-40 in round 12 to RB-32 in round 9. Drafters have seen an initial misprint and have continued steaming Etienne up the draft board. As he approaches getting inside the top-100, there will likely be a cooling of his ADP. While players who get drafted with 1st round pedigree in the NFL have a way of bouncing back, it is no guarantee Etienne will revert to his 16.6 fantasy points per game which ranked 7th at running back in 2023.
In the event Travis Etienne can return to form, selecting him in round 9 still makes a lot of sense. In 2023, Etienne was No.4 in best ball points added with 169.2. Risk management comes into play over the course of drafting a portfolio of best ball teams. It is wise to get requisite exposure in the 8% range with such a palatable price being offered for Travis Etienne.
