Carlos Hyde Placed On Injured Reserve
3 years agoJacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde (concussion) has been placed on injured reserve, which will bring an end to his 2021 season. Hyde finished the year with 72 carries for 253 yards and one touchdown while adding 12 receptions for an additional 65 yards. James Robinson figures to be the workhorse moving forward, as he is clearly their best option in the backfield. Dare Ogunbowale will move up to the No. 2 on the depth chart, so the Jaguars could potentially be adding another running back to the mix for depth purposes. We have seen Laviska Shenault Jr. get some work as a ball-carrier recently, so that could continue now that Hyde is out of the mix. Considering the coaching change and limited options in the backfield, Robinson has RB1 upside and is a must-start option in Week 16 against the New York Jets.
