Jaguars' Travis Etienne Expected to Return

The Jacksonville Jaguars have received mixed news on the injury front as running back Travis Etienne Jr. is expected to return from a hamstring injury, which sidelined him for two games following a loss to the Chicago Bears. Despite his past performance, the team's overall struggles this season leave doubts about the impact of his return. Offensive line changes have also emerged, with Walker Little starting over long-time left tackle Cam Robinson, who expressed frustration at being benched. Coach Doug Pederson is evaluating both players for their Week 9 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Additionally, the Jaguars confirmed that wide receiver Christian Kirk will miss the rest of the season due to a broken collarbone, while rookie Brian Thomas Jr. managed to avoid serious injury. The team is dealing with a range of other injuries, including those to Gabe Davis and offensive guards Brandon Scherff and Ezra Cleveland, as they prepare for their next game.
