D'Ernest Johnson

D’Ernest Johnson rushed six times for 28 yards in the Jaguars’ Week 6 loss to the Bears, adding two receptions for 16 yards.

Travis Etienne left the game early with a hamstring injury and didn’t return. His injury combined with an absurdly negative game script put Johnson on the field for 35 snaps. He only saw one fewer carry than Tank Bigsby. Tank would draw the start if Etienne misses any time, but Johnson is the team’s preferred option on passing downs. Johnson would be a RB5 if Etienne is ruled out for Jacksonville’s Week 7 matchup with the Patriots.
