The Jaguars are still searching for their first win of the 2024 season, and things are about to get more challenging as they face a division rival in Week 4. The Texans will host the winless Jaguars, and if Jacksonville hopes to secure a victory, they’ll need to navigate the game without a fully healthy Travis Etienne.
During the early part of the contest, Etienne was noticeably absent from the field, logging just three snaps in the first quarter. While he was on the sidelines, quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the offense managed to score, taking an early lead. Etienne’s season has been somewhat lackluster so far; leading up to Week 4, he had accumulated 164 rushing yards and nine receptions for 15 yards, and he failed to find the end zone for the first time last week.
Travis Etienne Injury Update
Etienne was seen standing on the sidelines without his helmet after only two snaps, leading to some initial confusion when the CBS broadcast indicated he wasn’t injured. However, the Jaguars later announced that he would be questionable to return due to a shoulder injury. It’s unclear exactly when he sustained the injury, but he made a brief return before the quarter concluded. With just 18 seconds left in the first quarter, Etienne finally got his first carry of the day, rushing for six yards as the frame came to a close.
