  • Garners 18 total touches in defeat

    Fournette rushed 15 times for 50 yards and secured three of six targets for 13 yards in the Jaguars' 45-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Like the rest of his teammates, Fournette turned in a lackluster outing overall, although he partly had game script to blame for less opportunity than usual. The bruising back saw a significant downturn from the 28 touches he'd averaged over the prior pair of contests, and he's now gained 50 rushing yards or less in four of his last five contests. Fournette does continue to play a significant role as a receiver out of the backfield, and he'll look to up his production through both the ground…read more

  • Compiles 91 total yards in loss

    Fournette rushed 14 times for 38 yards and brought in nine of 11 targets for 53 yards in the Jaguars' 28-11 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Fournette paced the team in targets while tying the career-high reception total he'd just established Week 12. A game script that saw the Buccaneers take a 25-0 lead by halftime significantly hampered the ability to stick with the run game, however, which led to Fournette's second sub-40-yard rushing yardage tally of the last three games. He'll look to bounce back to his usual numbers on the ground, possibly with Gardner Minshew back under center, in a Week 14 battle versus the Chargers.

  • Scores twice in workhorse effort

    Fournette carried 24 times for 97 yards and two touchdowns Sunday against the Titans. He also caught nine of 12 targets for an additional 62 yards in the 42-20 loss.

    Analysis: Fournette managed just 4.0 yards per carry but nearly reached the 100-yard mark on the ground through sheer volume. He scored one-yard touchdowns on back-to-back drives in the second half and rounded out this excellent performance with a career high in receptions as his team played catchup for much of the afternoon. This was exactly what Fournette's fantasy owners wanted to see after he managed just 57 scrimmage yards on 15 touches last week and came in with just one touchdown to his name. He…read more

  • Limited by game script

    Fournette carried the ball eight times for 23 yards in the team's Week 11 loss to the Colts. He also added seven receptions for 34 yards.

    Analysis: Fournette failed to reach double-digit carries for the first time this season, racking up a season-low total on the ground in the process. The team had racked up just 145 yards prior to halftime and fell behind on the scoreboard 17-7 prior to touching the ball for the first time in the second half. That game script held Fournette back on the ground, though it did allow him to rack up seven catches, salvaging his day from a yards-from-scrimmage perspective. Things won't get much easier in Week…read more

  • Season-low rushing total in London

    Fournette rushed 11 times for 40 yards and caught five of six targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Texans at Wembley Stadium.

    Analysis: Fournette was unable to build up much volume on the ground with his team trailing throughout, finishing with season lows in both carries and rushing yards. He tied for the team lead in receptions and has now amassed a new career high with 40 catches this season, but the lack of yardage certainly stings after five consecutive games with no fewer than 118 scrimmage yards. Fournette will get an opportunity to regroup during his team's Week 10 bye before traveling to Indianapolis in Week 11.

  • Piles up yards but no TD again

    Fournette rushed 19 times for 76 yards and caught all seven of his targets for another 60 in Sunday's 29-15 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Fournette ripped off a 66-yard run on his first carry, but he was bottled up the rest of the way. What was even more frustrating for fantasy owners is that Fournette's inability to convert from in close continued, highlighted by a pair of failed attempts from the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter, the second of which lost seven yards. The 24-year-old running back has 1,054 scrimmage yards but just one touchdown heading into a Week 9 clash against the AFC South rival Texans.

  • Tops 100 rushing yards in win

    Fournette rushed 29 times for 131 yards and caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Expectations were high for Fournette against the league's worst run defense, and he delivered by topping 100 rushing yards for the third time in the last four games while tying his season high in carries. He's been held back by an inability to get into the end zone this season, and that was the case once again for Fournette, who remains stuck on just one touchdown in 2019. Fournette should remain in a workhorse role when the Jaguars host the Jets in Week 8.

  • Notable pass-catching contributions

    Fournette ran for 72 yards on 20 carries and caught all six of his targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: The Jaguars' star running back entered Sunday seeking his first career three-game streak of 100-yard rushing outings. However, he only exceeded a four-yard gain on three of his 20 carries and was held to a sub-4.0 yard-per-carry average for just the second time this season as New Orleans' battle-tested front seven snapped his streak. What's encouraging is that Fournette has averaged 24 carries per game over the past three weeks after logging fewer than 15 attempts per game Weeks 1 through 3.…read more

  • Finds end zone in loss

    Fournette carried the ball 23 times for 108 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the Panthers. He added four receptions on seven targets for 29 yards.

    Analysis: Fournette did the majority of his damage on two play. The first came early in the third quarter when he punched in a one-yard touchdown. He followed that up with a 48-yard scamper early in the final quarter, accounting for nearly half of his rushing yards on the contest. Also notable was Fournette's involvement in the passing game; he's now recorded at least four receptions in all but one of the Jaguars' five contests this season. His guaranteed workload has made him a strong option, which…read more

  • Huge Week 4 performance

    Fournette carried the ball 29 times for 225 yards in Week 4 against the Broncos. He also added two receptions for 20 yards.

    Analysis: Fournette was bottled up in the first half, rushing only eight times for 35 yards. However, he broke off a series of long runs in the second half, highlighted by an 81-yard scamper that ended 12 yards shy of the end zone. Fournette has now broken off huge gains in consecutive weeks -- he had a 69-yard carry in Week 3 -- after his longest carry in 2018 went for just 25 yards. Now, Fournette will look to find the end zone for the first time in Week 5 at the Panthers.

  • Dual role continues

    Fournette rushed 15 times for 66 yards and brought in six of eight targets for 26 yards in the Jaguars' 20-7 win over the Titans on Thursday.

    Analysis: Fournette had one of the more deceptive rushing lines you'll ever see, as he gained 69 yards on one carry and netted minus-3 on his 14 other totes. That anomaly aside, another noteworthy aspect of the third-year back's night was his continually expanding role in the passing game, one that saw him check in second only to Dede Westbrook in targets for the contest. Through three games, Fournette has an elevated 22 targets, 14 of which he's parlayed into receptions. That type of volume not only…read more

  • Inefficient rusher against Texans

    Fournette logged 47 rushing yards on 15 attempts, and collected four receptions for 40 yards during Sunday's 13-12 loss to Houston.

    Analysis: Fournette has bailed out fantasy GMs by way of unexpected receiving production, accounting for four receptions in each of Jacksonville's first two games after exceeding three catches just once in eight appearances during 2018. Fournette's Week 1 yards per carry average of 5.1 against the Chiefs was an extremely encouraging indicator that he would improve upon his 3.3 figure from last year, but he was largely contained by Houston on Sunday, only twice breaking runs that yielded more than four…read more

  • Fumbles in loss

    Fournette ran for 66 yards on 13 carries and added 28 yards on four catches during Sunday's 40-26 loss to Kansas City. He lost a fumble during the contest.

    Analysis: With Jacksonville down by two scores and driving on the opening possession of the second half, rookie Gardner Minshew dumped it off to Fournette, who was quickly stripped for the first lost fumble of his career. Fumble aside, it was a solid game for Fournette, who averaged over five yards per carry for just the fourth time in 22 career games. Minshew is the quarterback for the foreseeable future as Nick Foles is set to have surgery on a broken clavicle, so the offense should revolve around…read more

  • Totals 46 yards in loss

    Fournette rushed for 27 yards on seven carries and added 19 yards on two catches during Thursday's 22-7 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: It was an uneven four series of work for the Jaguars with Nick Foles getting his first snaps at quarterback in game conditions, but the debut portended some nice potential for Fournette. After two seasons of horrid quarterback play and stacked boxes, Foles looks to be able to give the team a credible passing game that figures to open things up on offense. Fournette reportedly worked on his receiving game this offseason after averaging 2.8 receptions per game during his first two seasons.…read more

  • Primed for appearance

    Fournette will play in Thursday's preseason game against Miami, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Given that he's been cautious with his key players so far this preseason, coach Doug Marrone probably won't give Fournette a big workload. It remains to be seen if/how backfield snaps are divided with the first-string offense this season, as there isn't an obvious candidate to replace Fournette on passing downs. Alfred Blue (ankle) has a good reputation for blocking, but he isn't available Thursday and doesn't look like a sure thing to return for Week 1. The depth chart otherwise holds Ryquell…read more

    Fournette has turned in an impressive training camp thus far, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Fournette's 2018 campaign was marred by injuries, a one-game suspension and sluggish play that translated to a 3.3 yards-per carry-average over 133 rushing attempts across eight contests. Now in his third season, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft appears poised to engineer a bounce-back campaign. The running back noted Tuesday that he reported to camp in better shape while adding that his mind was "good without distractions." In addition to the improved conditioning and focus…read more

    Fournette reported to mandatory minicamp in good shape and looked comfortable catching passes, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Fournette joined the Jaguars for the early portion of their offseason program but then skipped some voluntary OTA sessions in May. His conditioning became a major issue last season when he put on weight while recovering from a hamstring injury. In addition to helping with stamina, Fournette's slimmer physique should make him more useful as a pass catcher. He isn't typically thought of as a three-down back, but it's reasonable that Fournette could have a chance to handle that role given the…read more

  • Won't be punished by team

    Coach Doug Marrone said Fournette won't face any team discipline for his recent arrest, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Given that he was arrested for an unpaid speeding ticket, Fournette never figured to face discipline from the Jaguars or the NFL. Still, it isn't the best look for a player who seems to be on thin ice after a tumultuous 2018 campaign marked by injuries, weight gain, inefficient running (3.3 YPC) and a one-game suspension for an on-field brawl. The Jaguars used the suspension as justification to void the remaining guarantees in Fournette's rookie contract, but they've also made it a point to say…read more

    Analysis: The arrest reportedly stems from an unpaid ticket from an incident dating back to last November, when Fournette was cited for driving 12 mph over the speed limit, per Justin Barney of WJXT 4. It's not certain if the running back will face discipline from the NFL.

  • Getting support from Coughlin

    Fournette appears to have the support of Jaguars executive vice president Tom Coughlin, who expects the running back to rebound in 2019, ESPN.com's Michael DiRocco reports. "I have full confidence in him," Coughlin said. "He does have some things he's got to prove when he comes back about his preparation, but he's a young player, he loves football, had an outstanding year, had a very disappointing year. We want him to be a great player and I think he's in the same mindset."

    Analysis: Despite showing up for training camp at a svelte 223 pounds, Fournette struggled through a tumultuous sophomore campaign, putting on weight while he missed six games with a hamstring injury. He finished the year with just 3.3 yards per carry in eight games, missing Week 13 due to a suspension and Week 17 due to an ankle injury. His suspension prompted the Jaguars to void the guarantees in his contract, while his obvious disinterest in watching the season finale was met with harsh public…read more

  • Getting focused

    Fournette is spending the offseason working out in Wyoming with Ben Iannacchione, his former strength and conditioning coach from LSU, Phillip Heilman of the Florida Times-Union reports. "The Leonard I see now -- and, again, I wasn't around Leonard last year, still followed his career, noticed he missed some games last year -- but the Leonard that's here in Wyoming right now is very similar to the Leonard that I had at LSU," Iannacchione said. "If he continues with this mindset and this work ethic, I think everyone in Jacksonville is going to be pleasantly surprised."

    Analysis: Following the turbulent disappointment of a season that was the Jaguars' 2018 campaign, Iannacchione said Fournette reached out to him so the running back could "get back to really training the way [Fournette] did when he felt he was at his best." Setting up at Iannocchione's new employer, the University of Wyoming, Fournette is probably serving himself well by isolating himself in a distraction-free environment. Considering Fournette entered the 2018 season 15 pounds lighter than he was in…read more

  • Clears air with Jags execs

    Fournette (ankle) and executive vice president Tom Coughlin recently met to discuss the running back's disappointing season, clearing the air in the process, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Among Fournette's low points in 2018, he seemed to gain weight while recovering from a hamstring injury in the first half of the season, received a one-game suspension for playing a leading role in a Week 12 brawl in Buffalo, and appeared to lack interest Week 17 as one of the Jaguars' inactive players. Regarding his performance, his output fell across the board, with the most significant development a reduction in his YPC from 3.9 as a rookie in 2017 to 3.3 this past season.

  • Loses contract guarantees

    The Jaguars voided the guarantees in Fournette's (ankle) contract after he was suspended for Week 13 against the Colts, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Fournette played a central role in a brawl during a Week 12 loss to Buffalo, earning a suspension that technically allowed the Jaguars to alter his rookie contract. The team probably wouldn't have made the decision if this was just a matter of the suspension alone, considering it fractures the relationship with a player selected fourth overall in last year's draft. Questions about his future with the team existed prior to the brawl, with Fournette appearing to gain some weight after he missed…read more

    Jaguars VP Tom Coughlin said he was "disappointed" in Fournette (ankle) and T.J. Yeldon's actions during Sunday's loss to the Texans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Fournette was inactive for Sunday's season finale because of the ankle injury, yet he still managed to make headlines from the sideline. Coughlin also said, "they were disrespectful, selfish and their behavior was unbecoming that of a professional football player."

    Fournette (foot/ankle) is inactive for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Texans.

    Analysis: In Fournette's absence, some combo of Carlos Hyde, T.J. Yeldon and David Williams will be in line to handle Jacksonville's Week 17 backfield duties. With a time-share likely in effect, neither of the trio is an especially high-percentage fantasy play.

    Fournette (foot/ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's season finale against the Texans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Fournette logged a limited session Wednesday, so Thursday's downgrade in participation is notable, though it remains to seen if it was simply a case of his reps being managed or indicative of a setback. If Fournette ends up sidelined this weekend against the Texans, some combo of Carlos Hyde, T.J. Yeldon and David Williams would handle Jacksonville's Week 17 backfield duties.

    Updating a previous report, Fournette (foot/ankle) logged a limited practice Wednesday, according to John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site.

    Analysis: Fournette's presence on the field for the first practice of the week presumably puts him on track to suit up in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Texans, a game in which quarterback Blake Bortles will return to Jacksonville's starting lineup. The running back turned his 18 carries in last weekend's 17-7 win over Miami into 43 yards and a score while adding three catches for 28 yards. He'll look to finish up the season on a high note against a Houston defense that has been tough on the…read more

There was no word coming out of that contest that Fournette suffered any sort of aggravation, so it's possible his absence from the first practice session of Week 17 is for maintenance purposes more than anything else.

  • Scores fifth touchdown of 2018

    Fournette rushed 18 times for 43 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 17-7 win over the Dolphins. He also caught three passes for 28 yards.

    Analysis: Fournette barely managed to eclipse two yards per carry during Sunday's win, largely due to predictably terrible quarterback play by Cody Kessler -- and to a lesser extent, Blake Bortles. The second-year pro managed to save his fantasy day with a one-yard TD run on the Jaguars' first drive of the day, but he couldn't do much damage after that point. Fournette will look to close out his season strong Week 17 against the Texans after what has been a disappointing and injury-plagued sophomore…read more

    Fournette said Friday that he feels healthy heading into the Jaguars' Week 16 matchup with the Dolphins, but admitted his conditioning isn't where he wants it to be. "I could be in better shape," Fournette said. "I'm fine, though."

    Analysis: Fournette's status for Sunday appeared more uncertain earlier this week after he sustained a foot injury in the Week 15 loss to the Redskins, but he allayed any concern by practicing fully Wednesday through Friday. While that's a good sign for Fournette for taking back a hefty workload on the ground, the 23-year-old hasn't showcased the same power and explosiveness he displayed as a rookie, attributes that made him a first-round pick in many fantasy leagues. While shoddy quarterback play and…read more

  • Practices fully Wednesday

    Fournette (foot) practiced fully Wednesday, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Analysis: Fournette logged 11 carries for 46 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards in the Jaguars' Week 15 loss to Washington, but only one of those totes came in the second half. A foot issue was believed to be at the root of Fournette's more limited usage, but instead, it seems the 4-10 Jaguars just wanted to see what rookie Dave WIlliams could do with some carries. With a full practice in tow, Fournette appears poised to head the Jaguars' backfield Sunday against the Dolphins, but how much…read more

  • Slated to practice

    Fournette (foot) is expected to practice in some capacity Wednesday.

    Analysis: The release of the Jaguars' first injury report of Week 16 will reveal whether Fournette's foot issue rendered him a limited or full participant. Even if his reps are capped Wednesday, the fact that Fournette is merely on the field is a positive sign after the injury resulted in the Jaguars' lead back taking on a more muted role than usual (11 carries for 46 yards, three receptions for 18 yards) in the Week 15 loss to the Redskins. He should be ready to go for this weekend's matchup with the…read more

  • Tending to foot injury

    Coach Doug Marrone said Fournette is dealing with a foot injury, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Fournette didn't get much usage in the second half of Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Redskins. Afterward, he told John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site that an injury wasn't to blame, but instead the team wanted to see what rookie Dave WIlliams could do with a handful of carries. In the end, Fournette will land on the injury report this week with a foot injury, which could be related to the issue that plagued him during his first preseason in 2017. If the Jags ultimately decide to limit or rule…read more

  • Acknowledges reduced role

    Fournette acknowledged that his lack of work in Sunday's 16-13 loss to Washington was partially a product of the Jaguars making an effort to get rookie Dave Williams some touches, John Oehser of the team's official website reports.

    Analysis: Limited to one carry after halftime, Fournette finished with 46 yards on 11 totes and 18 yards on three receptions. Williams, a rookie seventh-round pick, took five carries for 32 yards while replacing Carlos Hyde (healthy scratch) as the No. 3 running back. While his predominance in the Jacksonville backfield obviously isn't in question, Fournette may lose some work over the final few weeks as the Jaguars play out the stretch of a lost season. Williams and T.J. Yeldon both seem likely to have…read more

  • Limited in low-scoring loss

    Fournette rushed 11 times for 46 yards and added three receptions for 18 yards on four targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Redskins.

    Analysis: This was another awful offensive effort from the Jaguars, who scored their lone touchdown on a punt return. Fournette's a talented running back, but he's finding little running room with defenses stacking the box and daring quarterback Cody Kessler to throw. Perhaps things will get easier for Fournette in Week 16 against a Dolphins defense that just allowed three rushing touchdowns to the VIkings.

  • Stymied in suspension return

    Fournette carried 14 times for 36 yards while bringing in two of three targets for five yards in the Jaguars' 30-9 loss to the Titans on Thursday.

    Analysis: Fournette's underwhelming stat line was a microcosm of the type of night it was for the Jaguars, who couldn't come close to keeping up with the exploits of Derrick Henry and the Titans. The second-year power back's return from suspension was thus a clear disappointment for owners who were counting on him for a much more productive night during what was the opening of the fantasy postseason in some leagues. Fournette and the Jaguars will look to put Thursday behind them when they face the…read more

  • Returns to team

    Fournette rejoined the Jaguars on Monday after serving a one-game suspension, John Reid of the Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Minus Fournette in Week 13, the Jaguars beat the Colts, 6-0, on Sunday, with Carlos Hyde and T.J. Yeldon handling the team's backfield duties. Now past his suspension, Fournette is poised to head the team's running attack Thursday against the Titans. In three games played since returning from a hamstring injury, Fournette logged the bulk of Jacksonville's carries, en route to scoring five TDs in that span.

  • Suspension upheld

    Fournette's one-game suspension was upheld Wednesday by independent arbitrator James Thrash. The running back will miss Sunday's game against the Colts before returning to the Jaguars' active roster the following day.

    Analysis: Fournette will be unavailable for the seventh time this season -- and the first for a non-injury-related reason -- after he left the sideline and got involved in a scuffle in the Jaguars' Week 12 loss to the Bills. With Fournette in street clothes this weekend, T.J. Yeldon and Carlos Hyde will pick up most of the available backfield snaps, with Yeldon likely offering the higher fantasy ceiling of the two in PPR formats due to his use on passing downs. Fournette should reclaim his usual…read more

  • Set for Tuesday appeal hearing

    Fournette is appealing his one-game suspension, with the hearing scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Fournette has been suspended for Sunday's game against the Colts after playing a central role in a brawl during a Week 12 loss to the Bills. He hopes to have his ban overturned, but the Jaguars probably shouldn't count on a favorable verdict, considering Fournette came off the bench to throw punches at an opponent. Carlos Hyde and T.J. Yeldon will man the Jacksonville backfield in Week 13 if Fournette's suspension is upheld.

  • Earns one-game suspension

    Fournette received a one-game suspension from the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct and unnecessary roughness in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Fournette was ejected from Sunday's game shortly after he came off the sideline and got involved in a scuffle, during which he appeared to throw a punch. He'll receive additional discipline for the incident and sit out a divisional matchup against the Colts in Week 13, though Fournette is expected to appeal the suspension, per Chris Mortensen of ESPN. If the ban is ultimately upheld and Fournette is sidelined for his seventh game of the season, the Jaguars would lean on Carlos Hyde and T.J.…read more

  • Ejected from Sunday's game

    Fournette was ejected from Sunday's game against the Bills following a third-quarter scuffle, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Analysis: Fortunately for those who rolled with Fournette in Week 12 lineups, the running back logged 18 carries for 95 yards with two TDs and caught three passes for 13 yards prior to his early exit from Sunday's game. Carlos Hyde and T.J. Yeldon will handle the Jaguars' backfield duties for the remainder of the contest.

  • Carries offense in narrow loss

    Fournette rushed 28 times for 95 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Fournette ceded 13 carries to the combination of Carlos Hyde and T.J. Yeldon, but he was by far Jacksonville's most effective offensive player, with no one else reaching even half his output in either the rushing or receiving categories. After three first-half field goals, Fournette took the ball into the end zone from two yards out in the third quarter to give his team a 16-0 lead. It was all Steelers from there, but Fournette's owners should be encouraged by his ability to handle a workhorse…read more

  • Comfortable with health

    Fournette indicated Thursday that he's fully confident in the health of his hamstring after playing 39 of the Jaguars' 75 offensive snaps (52 percent) in the 29-26 loss to the Colts in Week 10, John Oehser of Jacksonville's official site reports. "I don't second-guess my injury that I had or nothing like that. I go out there and play full force," Fournette said.

    Analysis: The Jaguars weren't shy about leaning heavily on Fournette in his return from a four-game absence, as the second-year back drew more snaps that both T.J. Yeldon (27) and Carlos Hyde (nine) combined and finished with 24 carries for 53 yards and a score and added another 56 yards and a touchdown on five receptions. Fournette reported no setbacks coming out of that contest and appears to be reasonably healthy entering Sunday's game against the Steelers, a notion supported by the Jaguars' decision…read more

  • Scores two touchdowns in return

    Fournette carried 24 times for 53 yards and a touchdown Sunday against the Colts. He also caught five passes for 56 additional yards and another score in the 29-26 loss.

    Analysis: Fournette made his return after a four-game absence and assumed a massive workload right off the bat. He managed just 2.2 yards per carry against a surprisingly stout Colts front, but he was able to plunge into the end zone from a yard out in the second quarter. Fournette's team was behind for most of the day, so he also made a large impact as a receiver and scored another touchdown on a one-yard reception in the third. The second-year back appears to be fully healthy moving forward and will…read more

  • Good to go this week

    Fournette (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts after practicing fully all week.

    Analysis: Fournette is slated to return to action Sunday after missing the Jaguars' last four games, which were all losses. Meanwhile, Carlos Hyde and T.J. Yeldon remain on hand to work in complementary roles, but when healthy, Fournette is Jacksonville's clear-cut top option. It remains to be seen how many carries Fournette is handed in his return to action, but we suspect that the Jaguars will rely heavily on the bolstered strength/depth of their running attack Week 10. He should therefore reclaim…read more

  • Returns to full practice

    Fournette (hamstring) practiced fully Wednesday.

    Analysis: On the heels of the Jaguars' bye week, Fournette -- who has missed six of the team's last seven games -- is slated to return to action Sunday against the Colts. Carlos Hyde and T.J. Yeldon remain on hand to challenge for backfield snaps, but when healthy, Fournette is Jacksonville's clear-cut top option. Given that the Jaguars are in the midst of a four-game slide, it wouldn't be surprising if the team deployed a ground-heavy attack Week 10 against the Colts, assuming the game flow allows for…read more

    Fournette (hamstring) is expected to participate in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Coming out of the Jaguars' Week 9 bye, Fournette was on the field for an informal practice Monday, but Wednesday will mark the team's first official session of the current week. According to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, Fournette didn't display any visible limitations in the portion of Monday's practice that was available to the media, offering optimism that the running back will be ready to return from a four-game absence Sunday in Indianapolis. If Fournette gains clearance to play, he would…read more

  • Looks comfortable in return to practice

    Fournette (hamstring) didn't appear to have any limitations at practice Monday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Fournette reportedly worked with the first-team offense in his first confirmed practice appearance since late September. The Jaguars had been hoping to get him back in the lineup after a Week 9 bye, and it seems the powerful running back is on track for his long-awaited return. The Jaguars will release their initial injury report Wednesday as they prepare for Sunday's game in Indianapolis. Fournette presumably will lead the backfield if he returns to action, but T.J. Yeldon and Carlos Hyde…read more
