Etienne has the speed and special-teams pathway to become a useful changeup, but 2026 begins as a patience play. Getting back healthy and reclaiming his burst are the priorities before the offense can expand his role.
Strengths: Speed, prior special-teams role, supplemental-run potential, and young developmental upside.
Weaknesses: Injured-reserve/designated-to-return status delays his season and limits immediate offensive snaps.
