He had to be activated by tomorrow or miss the remainder of the season. Robinson, a fifth-round pick from Texas, will start behind Travis Etienne Jr., Tank Bigsby, and D'Ernest Johnson in the pecking order at running back and potentially will be a special-teams only player. He's not a fantasy football roster candidate at this time.
It was a dreadful day for the entire Jags offense and Etienne was no exception. The Lions defense didn't have to devote many resources to stopping Mac Jones and easily kept Etienne in check, holding him to 2.3 yards per carry. The volume, on the other hand, was solid. With Tank Bigsby out because of an ankle issue, Etienne accounted for 15-of-17 backfield touches this week. It was his first game over 12 touches since Week 4. With the Jags on bye next week, Etienne will be stuck in the RB3 ranks if Bigsby is able to return after the week off.
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence won t be Jacksonville s only major offensive contributor absent from Sunday s matchup with Detroit.
Ankle injury The #Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit. (Tom Pelissero on X) FF Today's Take: Bigsby missed practice all week with an ankle injury and has been ruled Out for Week 11. That will put Travis Etienne back in the lead back role while D'Ernest Johnson (hamstring) works as the backup. This is a bad matchup and game environment for the Jaguars who are 14-point underdogs to Detroit. Etienne can be considered a weak RB2.
