<p>The <strong>Jacksonville Jaguars</strong> are playing for their future this season in the <strong>NFL</strong>, and their matchup against the <strong>Philadelphia Eagles</strong> could be crucial. If they can’t secure a victory, it may all be for nothing, forcing them to reevaluate their strategy. The good news heading into the game is that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trevor-lawrence">Trevor Lawrence</a></strong> will have a key offensive player back in the lineup.</p>



<p>With a negative record of two losses and six wins so far this season, <strong>Doug Pederson’s squad will travel to Philadelphia with the primary goal of securing a victory</strong> that could spark some hope as they head into the final stretch of the tournament, a feat that is becoming increasingly challenging.</p>



<p>The biggest news for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jacksonville-jaguars">Jaguars</a> this weekend is that <strong>RB Travis Etienne Jr. has been confirmed to play in the upcoming game</strong>, after missing time on the field due to a hamstring injury.</p>



<p>The news was reported by <em>NFL insider Ian Rapoport via his X account</em> (formerly Twitter) <em>@RapSheet</em>: <em><strong>“Jaguars RB Tank Bigsby (ankle) and RB Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) are both likely to play today, barring a setback, sources say</strong>. It’s the same for WR Brian Thomas Jr. (chest), though Gabe Davis (shoulder) appears to be more of a long-shot.”</em></p>

<p>As Rapoport noted, the return of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-etienne">Etienne Jr.</a> <strong>comes alongside the return of fellow running back Tank Bigsby</strong>, who was also dealing with an injury. If deemed fit by the coaching staff, both players will be available for selection.</p>

<h2>What happened with Etienne Jr.?</h2>



<p>During Week 6 of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, in a tough matchup against the Chicago Bears, RB Travis Etienne Jr. had to leave the field in the second quarter due to an injury.</p>



<p>After undergoing the necessary tests, it was confirmed that Etienne Jr. suffered a hamstring injury. At that time, Tank Bigsby stepped in to replace him, participating in the majority of the plays.</p>



<p>Once the situation with the RB was confirmed, head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/doug-pederson">Doug Pederson</a> stated that they would address it <strong><em>“week to week”</em></strong>. Fortunately for the Jaguars, Etienne’s return is imminent, and he could see playing time against the Eagles if the coach decides to use him.</p>



<h2>Another anticipated return for the Jaguars</h2>



<p>In addition to a lackluster performance in terms of results and consistency,<strong> the Jaguars have also faced a significant number of injuries this season.</strong> Brian Thomas Jr., who had been sidelined due to a severe chest injury, will also be able to return to play against the Eagles.</p>



<p>With this, Doug Pederson and Trevor Lawrence will have three key offensive players at their disposal in a crucial matchup that will significantly impact the immediate future of the Florida franchise.</p>
