No touches Week 2 Bigsby (shoulder) returned to Sunday's loss against Cleveland but didn't play any offensive snaps.

Impact Bigsby suffered a shoulder injury during the second quarter on a kickoff return, and he was able to return to the contest during the second half. The 2023 third-round pick didn't play any offensive snaps in the game as D'Ernest Johnson carried five times for 26 yards behind starting tailback Travis Etienne. Bigsby had a promising season opener with 12 carries for 73 yards, but his involvement Week 2 left a lot to be desired. Even though he returned to the field, the shoulder injury may have affected Bigsby's role versus the Browns, so he should still be considered Jacksonville's No. 2 running back.

Exits Sunday's game Bigsby was forced out of Sunday's game against the Browns with a shoulder injury.

Impact Prior to his exit from the contest, Bigsby hadn't recorded a carry. In his absence, Travis Etienne and D'Ernest Johnson are available to handle the Jaguars' RB duties.

Outgains Etienne in loss Bigsby carried 12 times for 73 yards and wasn't targeted during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact The 23-year-old put forth the best game of his young career in the season opener, as he matched Travis Etienne in carries and produced 29 more rushing yards. Bigsby's afternoon was highlighted by runs of 26 and 17 yards, both of which exceeded Etienne's long for the day. After a disappointing rookie campaign that saw Bigsby total just 50 carries for 132 yards, it appears he could have a decent role in Jacksonville's offense during 2024 as the No. 2 tailback. He isn't likely to match rushing attempts with Etienne most weeks, but Bigsby could prove to be a viable insurance option if Etienne struggles or suffers an injury.

Records 56 total yards Saturday Bigsby rushed 10 times for 37 yards and brought in all three targets for 19 yards in the Jaguars' 20-7 preseason win over the Buccaneers on Saturday night.

Impact Bigsby drew the start with Travis Etienne sitting out, and the second-year back quickly gained a combined 10 yards on the Jaguars' second and third plays from scrimmage. Bigsby's heavy level of involvement by preseason standards and what he did with it was encouraging, especially after a ragged rookie year where he averaged just 2.6 yards per carry. Bigsby appears to be running ahead of D'Ernest Johnson for the No. 2 job behind Etienne, and he'll have another opportunity to make his case in the Friday night road preseason finale against the Falcons.

Improving after rough rookie year Jaguars running backs coach Jerry Mack said Bigsby's offseason priority has been to "refocus," and that "now things are starting to slow down for him" entering Year 2, Juston Lewis...

Impact Coach Doug Pederson said back in May that the team hopes for Bigsby to spell starter Travis Etienne more often during the 2024 season, but for that to happen the 2023 third-round pick will need to improve upon his lackluster rookie performance. Last season, Bigsby logged just 50 carries for 132 yards (2.6 YPC) and two touchdowns across 17 games. Mack noted that as a rookie "everything was extremely fast for [Bigsby]," but said that this offseason "he's understanding the ins and outs of the offense a lot better." D'Ernest Johnson and rookie fifth-round pick Keilan Robinson could offer competition for the No. 2 role, but if Bigsby can indeed improve entering the 2024 campaign and retain a complementary role behind Etienne, he could provide value as a post-hype sleeper in the late rounds of fantasy drafts.

Impact Jaguars brass made similar comments last offseason after drafting Bigsby in the third round, but he had just three games all season with more than three carries and none with more than 17 snaps. A pair of lost fumbles on his first 24 touches didn't help, and the Jaguars eventually preferred D'Ernest Johnson as the running back to give Etienne occasional breathers. While Johnson is back with the team in 2024, Bigsby's combination of draft capital, college production (2,903 rushing yards) and size (six-foot, 213 pounds) should allow him another shot to win the No. 2 role. Whether the Jaguars actually end up trusting him enough to take a significant chunk out of Etienne's workload is another question.

Does little with nine carries Bigsby rushed nine times for 21 yards during Sunday's 34-14 win over the Titans.

Impact Jacksonville was in control throughout Sunday's contest, which allowed Bigsby to set a season high in carries. The 22-year-old also set a season high in rushing yards, though it wasn't an efficient performance. D'Ernest Johnson had a similar workload with more yardage for the second straight week, and Bigsby could be losing his grip on the No. 2 job in Jacksonville's backfield.

Three carries Week 8 Bigsby carried three times for nine yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 20-10 win against the Steelers.

Impact The 22-year-old saw six offensive snaps as starter Travis Etienne received 27 touches for 149 yards and a touchdown while playing an 89 percent snap share. Etienne continues to operate as Jacksonville's workhorse back, leaving minimal opportunities for Bigsby in the No. 2 role.

Two carries Thursday Bigsby rushed twice for two yards during Thursday's 31-24 win against New Orleans.

Impact The rookie third-round pick played just eight offensive snaps but was the only Jacksonville running back besides starter Travis Etienne to receive a carry. Bigsby had seven rushes in the season opener but has just 13 over the past six games as Etienne continues to dominate the team's backfield touches.

Four touches Sunday Bigsby rushed three times for two yards and caught his lone target for six yards during Sunday's 37-20 win against the Colts.

Impact Bigsby played 17 of 64 offensive snaps and received his highest number of touches since he had seven carries in the season opener. The rookie third-round pick continues to operate as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback but doesn't have much fantasy utility with starter Travis Etienne excelling as a workhorse.
