2 years agoJacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne is off to a good start in his recovery from a Lisfranc injury that sidelined him for his entire rookie season in 2021. After recently getting cleared by the team's medical staff and getting in a full practice on Monday, he earned praise from quarterback Trevor Lawrence on his progress. "It's nice," Lawrence said of throwing again to Etienne, his teammate at Clemson University. "Last year we had a year-long break. Everybody's been anxious for him to get back, including myself. He's looked great. He adds a lot of versatility for us – really explosive. We're all pumped to have him back." Etienne was selected with the No. 25 overall pick in 2021. The 23-year-old will be one of the most highly anticipated running backs to watch for in fantasy given his delayed debut and his chance to take the lead role in the backfield with running back James Robinson recovering from an Achilles tear.--Dessy John
