Limited due to shoulder injury Bigsby (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports. Impact Bigsby has been playing through the shoulder injury since it limited him to only special-teams snaps in a Week 2 loss to Cleveland. He got just seven snaps on offense and two carries Week 3 at Buffalo, but an opportunity opened up Week 4 at Houston when Travis Etienne suffered a shoulder injury of his own. Although Etienne ultimately returned to the game and led the backfield with 52 percent snap share and 11 carries, it was Bigsby who had the more productive outing, turning 17 snaps into seven carries for 90 yards (thanks to a 58-yard run in the second half). Both running backs are now listed as limited practice participants due to shoulder injuries, suggesting they should be able to play this Sunday against the Colts but may not quite be at 100 percent. Etienne is faster, quicker and has superior pass-game skills, but Bigsby is making a strong case for a steady role of his own with three gains of 20-plus yards among his 21 carries this season.
