Jaguars Will Get Key Player Back For Game Against Eagles

The season could be on the line for the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

With a disappointing 2-6 record, Doug Pederson’s team will look to upset the Philadelphia Eagles on the road to keep their postseason hopes alive.

Needless to say, that will be easier said than done, as the Eagles are currently 7.5-point favorites ahead of this game.

Fortunately for them, they will have their top two running backs available to play.

According to a report by Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report, second-year RB Tank Bigsby intends to play on Sunday.

Bigsby, who’s recorded 196 yards rushing and 2 TDs in Jacksonville’s past two games, was listed as questionable with an ankle injury.

Notably, they will also have star running back Travis Etienne, who was dealing with a hamstring injury.

The Jaguars haven’t been able to live up to the hype.

Trevor Lawrence got a lot of money in the offseason, yet he continues to leave doubts about whether he’s a franchise-caliber quarterback.

Coach Pederson, on the other hand, might not be able to hold onto his job for much longer if the Jaguars don’t turn things around this season.

The Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts march firm in the race for the division.

Still, with half of the season ahead of us, a win on Sunday could propel a late surge for this squad.

A loss, however, could lead to a bit of a panic sale ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline, with multiple players likely being on the move.
