Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. was considered “week-to-week” with a hamstring injury suffered in Week 6 by Jacksonville head coach Doug Pederson on Monday.
But after “progressing” throughout the Jaguars’ week of practice outside of London, Etienne’s availability for Jacksonville’s Week 7 matchup with the New England Patriots at Wembley Stadium will “probably [be a] game day” decision, Pederson shared Friday.
“I think Etienne is progressing. We still haven’t made a decision yet,” Pederson said. “We’re going to get through tomorrow, could be game time. But he’s doing well. He’s doing really well.”
Although he did not carry an injury designation into Jacksonville’s matchup with Chicago, a shoulder injury suffered in Week 4 against Houston kept Etienne on the Jaguars injury report through last Friday.
Etienne has rushed 56 times for 230 yards and two touchdowns and caught 16 passes for 91 yards this season, bringing his 40-game career totals with the Jaguars to 543 rushing attempts for 2,363 yards and 18 touchdowns and 109 receptions for 883 yards and one touchdown.
