Report: Trio of Jaguars offensive weapons ‘likely’ to play vs. Eagles

Barring any setbacks, the Jaguars expect to have running backs Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (ankle) and wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) available for Jacksonville’s Week 9 matchup against the Eagles in Philadelphia, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Rapoport called each player ‘likely’ to play Sunday, and added that wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) “appears to be more of a long-shot.”

Bigsby, Thomas and Davis each suffered injuries in Jacksonville’s 30-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers at home last week, while Etienne missed Weeks 7-8 after hurting his hamstring in Week 6 against the Chicago Bears.

Bigsby leads the Jaguars with 493 yards and four touchdowns rushing over 85 attempts this season, with Etienne having compiled 230 yards and two touchdowns over 56 carries.

Thomas, the Jaguars’ first-round rookie sensation, paces Jacksonville with 33 receptions for 573 yards and five touchdowns this year. Davis, who has battled shoulder and knee injuries throughout the campaign, has logged 18 catches for 217 yards and two touchdowns.

Jacksonville running backs Tank Bigsby (ankle) and Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) are both likely to play today, barring a setback, Ian Rapoport reports.

#Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) and RB Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) are both likely to play today, barring a setback, sources say.

It’s the same for WR Brian Thomas Jr. (chest), though Gabe Davis (shoulder) appears to be more of a long-shot.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 3, 2024

Rookie wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) will be a game-time decision, while veteran passes catcher Gabe Davis (shoulder) is more of a long shot.

The Jaguars lost to the Green Bay Packers, 30-27, at EverBank Stadium this past Sunday. Jacksonville sustained many injuries, including a season-ending collarbone injury to veteran wide receiver and leader Christian Kirk.

Starting slot receiver Christian Kirk will miss the rest of the season after breaking his collarbone against the Packers. He is expected to transition to the injured reserve.

Pederson said Wednesday that the Jaguars “should get” starting running back Travis Etienne Jr. back this week after he missed their last two games with a hamstring injury, but noted the team will observe how Etienne feels in practice.

Tank Bigsby, who has operated as Jacksonville’s No. 1 running back with Etienne absent, was added to the report with an ankle injury that limited him in Wednesday’s practice.

Pederson issues ‘day-to-day’ tags for handful of Jaguars injuries

The Jaguars are banged up ahead of their Week 9 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. They are navigating injuries to six starters suffered in Jacksonville’s Sunday loss to the Green Bay Packers, to pair with starting running back Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) missing the team’s last two games.

Cornerback Ronald Darby (hip), wide receivers Brian Thomas Jr. (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder), and offensive guards Brandon Scherff (knee) and Ezra Cleveland (ankle) evaded long-term injury in Week 8.

However, most of the group enters Week 9 “day-to-day,” per Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson.

“Darby’s good, Darby will be out there. [Thomas], we’ve just got to wait and see. He’s going to be day-to-day. Gabe’s going to be day-to-day. [Scherff is] day-to-day. Ezra, day-to-day, ankle. We’ll see how he is at the end of the week,” Pederson said.

The sixth starter to go down against the Packers, wide receiver Christian Kirk, suffered a season-ending broken collarbone, which was reported late Sunday.

Pederson suggested Etienne, who the head coach considered a game-time decision for each of Jacksonville’s last two games, is inching closer to returning to play this week.

“Yeah, should get him back,” Pederson said. “Looking forward to getting him out there and getting some reps, see how he feels.”

As Jacksonville kicks off its week of practice before facing Philadelphia, Pederson said the Jaguars are leaning on the development of their roster depth this past offseason as they manage their battered lineup.

“Next man up. I mean honestly, it’s easy as that,” Pederson said. “You know, the games are still going to come and the league is still going to continue on, and we’re going to continue on.

“We’ve got to coach. That’s why we develop guys in the offseason, you know, for opportunities like this. So, whether it’s a young player, a rookie, a vet or a practice squad elevation, we’re going to continue to coach everybody and get them prepared for each week.”

Jaguars game statuses

RB Travis Etienne Jr.: QUESTIONABLE
OL Cam Robinson: QUESTIONABLE
DT Maason Smith: QUESTIONABLE
DT Esezi Otomewo: QUESTIONABLE
LB Foyesade Oluokun: QUESTIONABLE
S Andrew Wingard: QUESTIONABLE

Analysis: Rookie defensive lineman Maason Smith was added to Jacksonville’s injury report Friday, making his status the only true surprise from this group. Left tackle Cam Robinson is questionable, as expected, as he has not yet cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Jacksonville faces decisions on whether to activate linebacker Foyesade Oluokun and safety Andrew Wingard ahead of Sunday’s matchup, hence their questionable statuses. The Jaguars’ roster currently stands at 51 players, giving them the room to make such moves.

Packers injury report

WR Christian Watson (ankle) — full*
WR Jayden Reed (ankle) — full*
DL Kenny Clark (toe) — full*
DL Devonte Wyatt (ankle) — full
DL Colby Wooden (knee) — full
CB Jaire Alexander (groin) — full*
CB Keisean Nixon (hamstring) — full*
OL Elgton Jenkins (glute) — limited
OL Josh Myers (wrist) — limited
LB Quay Walker (concussion) — limited
CB Corey Ballentine (ankle) — did not participate

Packers game statuses

OL Josh Myers: QUESTIONABLE
DL Devonte Wyatt: QUESTIONABLE
LB Quay Walker: QUESTIONABLE
CB Corey Ballentine: DOUBTFUL

Analysis: Center Josh Myers, defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt and linebacker Quay Walker, all starters, enter the matchup questionable, with backup cornerback Corey Ballentine unlikely to play.

Ballentine’s status would be more significant if starting Packers corners, Jaire Alexander and Keiseann Nixon, carried statuses into the game. But both players were upgraded from limited to full practice participants Friday, a sign they are good to go.

Doug Pederson updates three Jaguars key starters before facing Packers

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson revealed that Jacksonville starting left tackle, Cam Robinson, cleared the NFL concussion protocol on Friday and will be able to practice with the team in its final session before facing the Green Bay Packers in Week 8.

“Cam right now I can announce that he’s cleared the protocol. He’ll be out there at practice today,” Pederson said. “We’ll see where he’s at but hopefully he’s good. We have to finish him up in contact and stuff but he can actually be in practice today, so that’s a good thing.”

Robinson, Jacksonville’s starting left tackle since 2017, did not practice on Wednesday and was listed as a limited participant Thursday, while in the concussion protocol. He was observed wearing a non-contact jersey during the team’s second practice of the week by Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union.

Robinson suffered his concussion early in Jacksonville’s 32-16 victory over the New England Patriots in London last Sunday, leading fourth-year Jaguars offensive lineman Walker Little to take over at left tackle. Little would start at the spot if Robinson were unable to play against Green Bay.

Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. missed Week 7 with a hamstring injury and has been limited in practice leading up to their matchup with the Packers. Like last week, Pederson suggested Etienne’s status would likely be determined on game day.

“Etienne again, we’ll still push him today and see where he’s at physically before we make a decision,” Pederson shared. “[It will] probably be game time with him.”

Etienne has rushed 56 times for 230 yards and two touchdowns and caught 16 passes for 91 yards in six games.

Jacksonville linebacker Foyesade Oluokun, who is currently designated to return from the injured reserve, is trending toward being activated and returning to play this weekend, per Pederson. Oluokun landed on the reserve after suffering a foot injury in Week 3.

“Foye had a really good week. Trending in the right direction. You know, optimistic that he’ll be able to step in and play,” said Pederson. “We’ll see where he’s at today, tomorrow.”

Pederson added that the Jaguars will monitor Oluokun’s injury, plantar fasciitis, beyond his activation from the reserve.

“Probably so. We’ll keep an eye on him and he’ll get treatment on it and all that,” Pederson acknowledged. “He’s in a good spot, though. But yeah, we’ll probably have to manage it a little bit.”
