Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Pederson decided to sit several players during the Hall of Fame Game, and running back Travis Etienne was among them. That said, Friday’s game against the Cleveland Browns was the first time he’s taken the field since the Jags’ Week 2 preseason game last season, as he sustained a season-ending Lisfranc injury against the New Orleans Saints that night.
Etienne’s teammates were happy to see him back on the field Friday, as he made a few solid plays in both the passing and running game. That includes quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who not only was drafted in the first round with Etienne last year, but played with the star rusher while attending Clemson University.
