The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to get back to winning ways in the game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday after suffering a 30-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers at home. However, Tank Bigsby's name popped up on the Jaguars' injury report on Wednesday due to an ankle injury.
Bugsy was a limited participant in practice throughout the week and was listed as questionable. With Etienne out, the last thing the Jaguars needed was their sophomore running back to also be sidelined. However, his injury seemingly won't affect his participation against the Eagles.
Will Tank Bigsby play against the Eagles in Week 9?
According to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tank Bigsby is expected to suit up and play in the Jaguars' Week 9 clash against the Eagles in Philadelphia. The sophomore star isn't the only running back Jacksonville will likely have its disposal. Per the insider, Travis Etienne is also expected to return to action after a two-game absence.

It's terrific news for the Jaguars, who are hoping to pull off an upset win on Sunday and turn the tide of their campaign.
The Jaguars hope that their offense can continue playing as well as it has over the past two weeks. Their ground game has held firm despite missing Travis Etienne, who is nursing a hamstring injury. In his absence, sophomore Tank Bigsby has stepped up and delivered solid performances.
In his past two outings, Bigsy has rushed for 196 yards and two touchdowns on 44 carries, showcasing that he can be impactful as a starter. The Jaguars were hoping that he would deliver a similar performance against the Eagles, who boast the eighth-best rush defense in the league.
