Jaguars RB Travis Etienne week-to-week with hamstring injury

The Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing to be without top running back Travis Etienne Jr. for an undetermined amount of time.

Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Etienne is week-to-week with a hamstring injury he suffered in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.

Etienne had three carries for minus-1 yards and one catch for zero yards before leaving the game. Pederson said Etienne got hurt on a deep pass route.

Etienne is the Jaguars' second-leading rusher (230 yards) and is averaging 4.1 yards per carry. He also has 16 catches for 91 yards.

Second-year back Tank Bigsby, who leads the Jaguars in rushing (297 yards) and is averaging an NFL-best 7.2 yards per carry, likely will take over as the lead back and be backed up by veteran D'Ernest Johnson (67 yards rushing).
