The Jacksonville Jaguars officially ruled running back Travis Etienne Jr. as questionable for a Week 13 game against the Detroit Lions, despite both Etienne and Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson saying he’s good to go.
The Jaguars have been hesitant to use the “probable” designation this season, and all indications are that Etienne will likely play Sunday. It’d also be surprising if wide receiver Zay Jones or safety Andre Cisco, both of whom are also questionable, are out of action against the Lions.
The fourth questionable player is running back Darrell Henderson, who missed practice Friday due to an illness. Pederson said earlier in the day that the former Rams starter would likely be inactive if Etienne plays Sunday.

For the Lions, only two players are ruled out of action: guard Evan Brown and pass rusher Julian Okwara.
The rest of the players on the report — including cornerback Jeff Okudah, offensive lineman Penei Sewell, and center Frank Ragnow — are all a full go for Sunday.

Notably absent from the Lions’ report this week is rookie Jameson Williams, who hasn’t yet been moved to the active roster as he recovers from an ACL tear that ended his collegiate career. Earlier Friday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell said he hasn’t made a decision whether Williams will make his NFL debut against the Jaguars.
