Etienne has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury. However, Etienne might return this weekend.
Head coach Doug Pederson told reporters that Etienne “feels good” and will be back this week when the Jaguars (2-6) face the Philadelphia Eagles (5-2).
After two consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons, Etienne has regressed this year. Etienne has rushed for 230 yards and two touchdowns in six games this season.
Injuries to his shoulder and hamstring have plagued Etienne all season.

Would the Jaguars trade Etienne before the deadline? It’s definitely plausible.
Etienne’s workload has decreased due to the emergence of Tank Bigsby. During Etienne’s two-game absence, Bigsby has rushed for 196 yards and two touchdowns.
If Etienne is available, several teams would be interested in a trade.
The Dallas Cowboys are the obvious fit for Etienne. The Cowboys are the worst running team in the NFL, with 72.0 yards per game. Rico Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott, and Dalvin Cook are not the answer. Etienne would be the clear No. 1 option in Dallas.
The Kansas City Chiefs could also be looking for another running back. Isiah Pacheco is still injured. Kareem Hunt has done an admirable job as the lead back, but adding Etienne would help lighten the load. Plus, the Chiefs need another weapon after the losses of Pacheco, Rashee Rice, and Hollywood Brown.
