The Jacksonville Jaguars placed running back Travis Etienne on injured reserve Tuesday, ending the first-round draft pick’s rookie season.
Etienne reportedly suffered a Lisfranc injury to his left foot during the second quarter of Monday night’s 23-21 preseason loss at New Orleans.
NFL Network reported he suffered a “significant tear,” and ESPN reported that Etienne will have surgery to repair the damage.
Etienne, 22, was selected by the Jaguars with the 25th overall pick after they took his college teammate, quarterback Travis Lawrence, with the No. 1 pick.
Etienne is the all-time-leading rusher in Atlantic Coast Conference history after running for 4,952 yards in four seasons (55 games) at Clemson.
Jacksonville also waived offensive lineman Derwin Gray, cornerback Jameson Houston and defensive tackle Kenny Randall.
