Travis Etienne Jr. Injury Updates for Fantasy Football
As mentioned above, Etienne Jr. left very early in the game against Baltimore. He carried the ball twice for three yards before ending his day, resulting in a big blow to everyone who started him on Sunday.
What was strange about the situation was that he was never officially ruled out. The report below was the only one released until after the contest was over.
While he was listed as questionable to return, he never did get back out there.
Travis Etienne Jr. Injury News
An additional report was provided on Monday, which was also a bit unusual because it stated that Etienne Jr. was cleared to return but they elected to hold him out. Furthermore, it referred to testing they were planning to do but no longer believe is required.
Despite it being unique, it does sound optimistic, providing hope that Etienne Jr. won't miss significant time if any at all.
Is Travis Etienne Jr. Playing in Week 13?
Fantasy managers will need to monitor the news and practice reports, but it appears Etienne Jr. dodged a major injury, and barring any setbacks, will be active for their game against the Lions on Sunday.
There is a strong chance he's limited in practice this week, which again is worth staying informed about but would not be cause for concern so long as he's cleared to play. Assuming he's back in action against Detroit, he'll go right back to being a top-12 option given the matchup.
