Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions after missing practice all week. His absence makes RB Travis Etienne a more palatable Week 11 fantasy play, although his team is still a 14-point underdog with a week-low 16.5-point implied total. D'Ernest Johnson will be Jacksonville's No. 2 RB in Detroit.
Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He got banged up in last week's loss to the Vikings, finishing with just two carries on 10 snaps. HC Doug Pederson said afterward that it was "nothing serious," but Bigsby's status bears monitoring over the next few days. His absence would make RB Travis Etienne a more palatable fantasy play against the Lions on Sunday.

Update: Bigsby returned later in the first quarter.
Jaguars RB D’Ernest Johnson (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He should be the team’s No. 3 RB, stealing a few touches from RBs Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne.
Jaguars RB D’Ernest Johnson (hamstring) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings. He was added to the injury report on Thursday and limited again on Friday. Johnson stayed involved last week, despite RB Travis Etienne’s return, handling two carries and one target on a 24% snap rate. Johnson’s absence this weekend would be a slight boost to Etienne and RB Tank Bigsby.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne got the start Sunday in his return from a two-game hamstring absence. But he logged just 5 total touches and played fewer snaps than Tank Bigsby in the loss to the Eagles.
Jaguars RBs Travis Etienne (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (ankle) are active for today’s game vs. the Eagles. We’ll see exactly how carries are split between them in Etienne’s first action since Week 6.

Jaguars RBs Travis Etienne (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (ankle) are expected to play vs. the Eagles today, "barring a setback," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We haven't seen these guys together for a full game since Week 5. We're projecting Bigsby to have the slight lead in carries today, but for Etienne to continue to dominate passing-down snaps. The Jaguars are 7.5-point underdogs in Philadelphia.
Jaguars RBs Travis Etienne (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (ankle) are listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. Both guys were limited in practice all three days this week. HC Doug Pederson said Friday that Bigsby is "fine" but called Etienne a game-time decision. We'll look for further updates on this backfield but won't get Jacksonville's inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday. D'Ernest Johnson is Jacksonvile's No. 3 RB -- in case Etienne and Bigsby both end up sitting this week.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) remained limited in Wednesday's practice. He was limited all three days last week before missing the Packers game.

He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so we’re tentatively expecting Etienne back for Week 9. His absence today again leaves the backfield to RBs Tank Bigsby and D’Ernest Johnson. Bigsby should handle most of the rushing work but will cede passing-down snaps to Johnson. See where both guys land in the Week 8 RB Rankings.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport calls Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) a "long shot" to play vs. the Packers today. That'll again leave the backfield to RBs Tank Bigsby and D'Ernest Johnson. Bigsby is coming off a big Week 7 with positive game script against a leaky Patriots run defense. He continued to see very few passing-down snaps, though, which is a concern with the Jaguars 4-point underdogs today. It leaves Bigsby as a volatile Week 8 fantasy play.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Patriots. His absence leaves the backfield to Tank Bigsby and D’Ernest Johnson.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Patriots. "I think Etienne is progressing,” HC Doug Pederson said Friday. “We still haven't made a decision yet. We're going to get through tomorrow, could be game-time [decision].” We’ll get Jacksonville’s inactives at 8 am ET on Sunday. This will be a tough backfield to project if Etienne ends up active.
