Jaguars RB ‘week-to-week’ with hamstring injury

Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is considered “week-to-week” as he nurses a hamstring injury suffered against the Bears in Week 6, Jacksonville head coach Doug Pederson told reporters on Monday.

“Travis had a hamstring in the game. He’s going to be week-to-week. He tweaked it on a go ball early in the game,” Pederson shared.

Etienne entered the matchup with a shoulder injury, which he originally suffered in Week 4 against the Texans and played through in Week 5 versus the Colts.

Etienne was a limited participant in Jacksonville’s practices last week due to his shoulder but did not carry an injury designation into the game against Chicago.

Through six appearances this season, all starts, Etienne has rushed 56 times for 230 yards and two touchdowns. He has added 16 receptions for 91 yards.

In his 40-game career with the Jaguars, Etienne has logged 543 rushing attempts for 2,363 yards and 18 touchdowns, and caught 109 passes for 883 yards and one touchdown.
