This is really unfortunate news, and there’s no other way to spin it. Everyone in Jacksonville has very high hopes for Etienne, and it now sounds like fans will need to wait another year to see him in a regular season game.
Damn, injuries in the preseason are truly the worst.

I can’t imagine how upset Etienne must be right now. He was a first round pick in the 2021 NFL draft, and his future was insanely bright for this season.
Now, there’s a ton of uncertainty for the former Clemson star.

Let’s all hope he gets well soon and bounces back better than ever.
