Travis Etienne Jr. Suffers Foot Sprain, Out Indefinitely
3 years agoJacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Travis Etienne Jr. (foot) suffered a mid-foot sprain in Monday night's preseason game against the Saints. The true severity of the injury is unknown, but Etienne is headed for more testing upon returning to Jacksonville. In the past, most players have missed between 4-8 weeks with this injury, but there is no concrete timetable at this point. The promising rookie back was already working behind James Robinson and Carlos Hyde in the preseason, and the injury is another major blow to Etienne's hopes of making an early-season impact. This injury news combined with concerning preseason usage drops Etienne into the risk/reward RB3 range in drafts going forward.
