Travis Etienne, the Jacksonville Jaguars' running back, continues to be limited in practice due to a shoulder injury sustained during a recent game against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite his limited participation, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson has reaffirmed that Etienne remains the team's primary back. However, with Tank Bigsby performing well in the last game, there is speculation about a potential shift in workload distribution between the two running backs as the season progresses.
