Last season, Etienne’s rookie campaign was shut down before it even started after he suffered a season-ending injury. However, he didn’t miss much last season, which was one to forget for the franchise. The Jaguars were miserable, as a dismal season was continually marred by controversy involving embattled coach Urban Meyer. The Jaguars ultimately went 3-14 seasons, which was the worst record in the league. But with Etienne back and a multitude of offseason moves, Jacksonville will look to challenge for the AFC South crown.

Etienne was a two-time 1,600-yard rusher at Clemson, and he rushed for 4,952 yards with 70 touchdowns in his four-year collegiate career. He also had 102 career receptions, adding 1,155 yards and eight touchdowns through the air. Etienne made an impact in his limited preseason, and he was poised for a significant role in the rushing and passing attacks as a rookie. Now, he will look to carve out a similar role when he takes the field in 2022.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Doug Pederson tells reporters Travis Etienne ‘full-go’ entering OTAs

Jaguars fans are all smiles, as Doug Pederson gave some positive news regarding former Clemson star running back Travis Etienne.

According to NFL Network, Pederson told reporters on Monday that the former first round pick is a full-go for all practice activity as Jacksonville ramps up their offseason activity.

“Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Pederson told reporters Monday that running back Travis Etienne (foot) is a full-go for all practice activity as the team begins its offseason program,” reported NFL Network. “Etienne missed his entire rookie season after suffering a Lisfranc injury in training camp.”

Last season, Etienne was amiss as he suffered a season-ending injury before his rookie season could ever get going. However, if there was ever a season to miss, last season was a solid choice. The Jaguars were miserable, as a dismal season was continually marred by controversy involving disgraced coach Urban Meyer.

Doug Pederson brings credibility and his Super Bowl ring to Jacksonville, where he’ll hope to build a foundation to win another involving Travis Etienne. Getting back on the field is the first step, now the former Clemson star will focus on getting back to himself.
