Travis Etienne of the Jacksonville Jaguars is dealing with a shoulder issue following a recent game against the Colts. Coach Doug Pederson noted that Etienne's carries were limited to protect him, but it doesn't seem to threaten his availability for the upcoming game against the Bears. However, there are indications that his workload may be reduced in the 2024 season as the team aims to incorporate more touches for backup running backs Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson.
- Etienne's shoulder injury may limit his touches moving forward.
- Coach Pederson is looking to reduce Etienne's workload to maintain his health throughout the season.
