Travis Etienne, a Jacksonville Jaguars first-round runner, is likely to miss his entire rookie season with a leg injury.

The rookie runner will need surgery to rebuild his foot, so he will likely miss the 2021 season, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

New head coach Urban Meyer made Etienne 25th first-round pick in the NFL draft this year, after former college teammate Trevor Lawrence took first place overall.

Although Etienne was a successful college runner, Meyer said that after being selected, he is also looking to learn how to play the receiver at Jaws.

However, reports from the camp indicated that he had not yet found a solid role in the crime. Etienne managed just two cores (three yards) and one catch (three more) on his first preseason trip.

While Jacksonville will have to wait to see an increase in Etienne’s attack, their backfield will once again belong to James Robinson.

As an undrafted free agent in the 2020 class, Robinson amassed 1,414 scrum yards along with 10 touchdowns last year and will undoubtedly be active again in 2021.
