As things stand, Travis Etienne is listed as out against the Patriots in Week 7. The Jaguars were expected to make a game-time decision on the running back for Sunday's contest.

Etienne was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, and Jaguars coach Doug Pederson was optimistic about the player making a recovery in time to face New England.

"I think Etienne is progressing. We still haven't made a decision yet. We're going to get through tomorrow, could be game time." Pederson said on Friday.

Etienne had been nursing a shoulder injury heading into the Week 6 game against the Chicago Bears. However, he then picked up a hamstring issue at around halftime against Chicago and played 11 offensive snaps, losing one yard on three carries, in Jacksonville's 35-16 defeat.

Etienne has played in all six games for the Jaguars this season, but he is yet to have a breakthrough outing. The running back has recorded 230 yards on 50 carries and rushed for two touchdowns while adding 91 yards on 16 receptions.
