Travis Etienne Jr. Still Jaguars RB1 Despite Bigsby's 2-TD Game vs. Patriots, HC Says

The Jacksonville Jaguars aren't going to adjust the depth chart following a Week 7 victory over the New England Patriots.

The Jaguars cruised to a 32-16 victory despite starting running back Travis Etienne Jr. being inactive due to a hamstring injury. In his absence, backup Tank Bigsby had a strong day, dashing for 118 yards and two touchdown on 26 carries.

Despite the strong push from Bigsby, Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said that Etienne will remain the starter and that the team is fortunate to have two strong backs.

"I'm a believer where injury doesn't replace your position," Pederson said, per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.
