Impact Per the report, Rodriguez, who has not participated in any of the team's OTAs, will miss this week's mandatory minicamp, which runs June 9-11. However, the running back has been able to rehab his foot injury at the Jaguars' facility, and isn't expected to have any restrictions on his workload at the start of training camp.

Absent from OTAs Rodriguez (undisclosed) hasn't been participating in the Jaguars' OTAs, Sports Illustrated's John Shipley reports.

Impact With Travis Etienne -- who logged 260 carries in 17 regular-season games in 2025 -- having joined the Saints in free agency, Bhayshul Tuten, Rodriguez and LeQuint Allen appear poised to pace the Jaguars ground game this coming season. At this stage, it's unclear how the team's RB touches will be divided in 2026, but added added context in that regard should arrive once Rodriguez returns to the field. A committee approach is a plausible scenario, with Tuten -- who has looked reportedly looked sharp in OTAs -- and Rodriguez both candidates to see enough work make to a fantasy impact in the absence of Etienne, while Allen figures to contribute in passing situations. In any case, this job battle, which coach Liam Coen has called "wide open" will be one to closely monitor ahead of Week 1, with Rodriguez's next chance to practice slated to arrive during Jacksonville's upcoming mandatory minicamp, June 9-11.

2026 NFL Breakout Candidates: 10 Second-Year Players Poised to Make a Leap

Projected as lead back Sports Illustrated's John Shipley projects Rodriguez to open the season as the Jaguars' lead running back.

Impact "Though I am not sure there will be enough of a difference between [Rodriguez's] workload and Bhayshul Tuten's worth talking about," Shipley wrote Thursday. After Travis Etienne left for the Saints in free agency, Jacksonville signed Rodriguez to a two-year, $10 million deal. Rodriguez played for coach Liam Coen in college at Kentucky, and the Jaguars have pointed out how they like Rodriguez's ability to earn the tough yards after contact after he finished eighth out of 58 qualifying running backs in yards after contact per attempt (3.46) last season. The coaching staff certainly has an affinity for Rodriguez, and Tuten is going to have to show more than he did as a rookie (3.7 yards per carry) to earn more playing time.
