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. The confluence of…read more

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

Draws ire from bench
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." The pair of running backs was seen throughout the game sitting on the bench, seemingly disinterested in the action. Fournette finishes his injury-plagued, eight-game season with 133 carries for 439 yards (3.3 YPC) and five…read more

Inactive Sunday
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.

Listed as doubtful
Fournette (foot/ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's season finale against the Texans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With the doubtful designation, Fournette belongs nowhere near Week 17 fantasy lineups. In his likely absence Sunday, some combo of Carlos Hyde (knee, questionable), T.J. Yeldon and David Williams is in line to handle Jacksonville's backfield duties.

Not spotted Friday
Fournette (ankle) was not spotted at Friday's practice, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Fournette was able to practice on a limited basis, but it looks he will sit out entirely Friday for the second day in a row. That leaves his status for Week 17 up in the air until the Jaguars release their final injury report of the week after Friday's practice concludes.

Misses practice Thursday
Fournette (ankle/foot) missed practice Thursday, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site 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.

Logs limited practice Wednesday
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

Sitting out first practice of week
Fournette (ankle/foot) isn't scheduled to practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Fournette suffered a similar injury during the Jaguars' Week 15 loss to the Redskins but practiced fully last Wednesday through Friday before logging 18 carries for 43 yards and a score and catching three passes for 28 yards in Sunday's 17-7 triumph over the Dolphins. 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. If…read more

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

Not satisfied with conditioning
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

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.

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.

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.

Expected back in Week 10
The Jaguars anticipate that Fournette (hamstring) will be ready to play Nov. 11 against the Colts following the team's Week 9 bye, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Fournette is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles in London, marking the eighth time in as many weeks this season that he has failed to appear in or complete a game on account of the right hamstring injury. In recognition of Fournette's recurring hamstring woes, the Jaguars swung a deal for Cleveland running back Carlos Hyde earlier this month, but it appears both Hyde and fill-in starter T.J. Yeldon are still largely viewed as high-quality insurance options. Now that he's had…read more

Officially out Sunday
Fournette (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Eagles, Phillip Heilman of the Florida Union-Times reports.
Analysis: This news was fully expected as Fournette will now officially miss his sixth game of the season. T.J. Yeldon has filled in admirably during Fournette's extended absence, but Yeldon's workload could take a hit this Sunday as the Jaguars work the newly-acquired Carlos Hyde into the mix.

Analysis: This will mark Fournette's sixth missed game of the season as he continues to recover from a lingering hamstring injury. T.J. Yeldon and the newly-acquired Carlos Hyde are expected to see the majority of work out of the backfield during the 23-year-old's continued absence.

Fournette (hamstring) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Fournette being ruled out for Sunday's game in London against the Eagles looks like a mere formality at this point. Once that's in the books, as expected, he'll presumably take aim at a possible return to action Nov. 11 against the Colts, following the Jaguars' Week 9 bye. In his anticipated absence, T.J.

Out again Thursday
Fournette (hamstring) is not expected to participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: There appears to be no indication that Fournette is going to return for the Jaguars' trip to London this weekend, especially considering that the team is on bye next week. With that, Fournette would get another week off to nurse the injury and will likely be eyeing a return to the field for Week 10's matchup in Indianapolis. T.J.

Remains sidelined at practice Wednesday
Fournette (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, as anticipated.
Analysis: Fournette, who has missed the Jaguars' last three games and five of their last six is trending toward another inactive status Sunday against the Eagles. In such a scenario, he would rest straight through the team's Week 9 bye and perhaps target a return to action as soon as Week 10 in Indianapolis. For this weekend's contest in London, the Jaguars will likely turn to a combination of T.J. Yeldon and newcomer Carlos Hyde to handle the bulk of snaps at running back.

Analysis: The Jaguars' decision to bolster their backfield depth by acquiring Carlos Hyde from the Browns on Friday implied that there was some concern within the organization about Fournette's health, but Jacksonville has no plans to place the second-year player on injured reserve, per Schefter. If the report proves accurate, Fournette, who will miss his third straight game Sunday against the Texans, would sit out the Jaguars' Week 8 game against the Eagles before potentially returning after a Week 9…read more

May not return until after bye week
The Jaguars could be targeting their Week 10 game against the Colts for Fournette's (hamstring) return to action. Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville reports.
Analysis: Fournette has already been ruled out Week 7 against the Texans, but the idea of him being sidelined longer became more plausible with the Jaguars' acquisition of running back Carlos Hyde on Friday. At the very least, Hyde gives the backfield some added depth, but once he's up to speed with the team's playbook, he could split work with T.J. Yeldon until Fournette is back to full strength. While there's been no recent setbacks reported in Fournette's recovering from the hamstring injury, adding…read more

Will miss another game
Fournette (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: The Jaguars were hopeful Fournette might be able to return from a two-game absence in Week 7, but there was never much hope for that materializing after he failed to practice Wednesday through Friday. Fournette will now turn his focus to a potential comeback Week 8 against the Eagles. With Fournette sidelined again, T.J. Yeldon (foot/ankle) is in line to head the Jacksonville backfield, with Jamaal Charles on hand to work in a complementary role.

Working on side Friday
Fournette (hamstring) worked out on the side during the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Jaguars were optimistic about Fournette's chances of returning to action earlier this week, but unless he gets some work in behind the scenes Friday, he'll go down as a non-participant for the third consecutive day. The Jaguars will provide more details regarding Fournette's status -- and that of backup T.J. Yeldon, who is dealing with an ankle injury -- when Friday's practice comes to a close.

Fournette (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Fournette, who last suited up Sept. 30 against the Jets, is trending toward his third straight absence Sunday against the Texans. While coach Doug Marrone suggested that Fournette could return to practice Thursday, the running back was only able to do some light jogging and stretching in the portion of the session available to the media, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

Not in line to practice Thursday
Fournette (hamstring) is not expected to participate in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: After some encouraging news came Wednesday when head coach Doug Marrone said Fournette would attempt to practice Thursday, it looks like the tailback will be sidelined once again, putting his status for Sunday's game against the Texans in serious doubt. It's unclear whether or not Fournette suffered a setback or it was decided he just was not ready to make a return to practice, but the signs are starting to point toward him remaining on the sideline this weekend.

Could practice Thursday
Fournette (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, but coach Doug Marrone said the running back would attempt to get back on the field during Thursday's session, Andrew Siciliano of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Marrone said that Fournette's level of involvement in Thursday's practice would likely provide a clearer picture regarding the 23-year-old's outlook for Sunday's game against the Texans. With Fournette sitting out all but two of the Jaguars' six games this season, T.J. Yeldon has acted as the team's lead back. If Fournette is ultimately cleared to play Week 7, it's likely that Yeldon would still retain a decent-sized role in the Jaguars' game plan since the team would presumably prefer to ease…read more

Unavailable for first Week 7 practice
Fournette (hamstring) isn't expected to practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Coach Doug Marrone had expressed optimism that Fournette would be able to shake off the hamstring injury and play Sunday against the Texans, but the running back's absence for the first practice of the week doesn't portend well for his eventual status. Fournette will have two more practice days to prove his condition has improved sufficiently enough for him to suit up in Week 7, but T.J. Yeldon (foot/ankle) tentatively looks on track to head the Jacksonville backfield for at least one more game.

Coach Doug Marrone hopes Fournette (hamstring) will be available for Sunday's contest against the Texans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: This is merely rehashing what Marrone told DiRocco on Friday: "There's a chance those guys'll [also cornerback D.J. Hayden] be able to play [Week 7]." Fournette has suited up just twice this season, averaging 3.6 YPC on his 20 rushes while gathering all four targets for 19 yards. In Fournette's stead this past Sunday at Dallas, T.J. Yeldon earned the most offensive snaps (31 of 48) among Jaguars running backs, with newcomer Jamaal Charles handling the remaining 17. The touches among the two…read more

Out Sunday, but has chance to play in Week 7
Though Fournette (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, coach Doug Marrone relayed Friday that the running back has a chance to play next week against the Texans, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: While such an outcome is hardly a lock, Fournette was able to run on the side during Friday's light workout, so he's clearly trending in the right direction. There had been previous speculation that Fournette might be held out through the Jaguars' Week 9 bye, but if his hamstring responds well in the coming days, he could see action sooner. In the meantime, T.J. Yeldon is in line to head the team's backfield Week 6, with Jamaal Charles and David Williams in reserve.

Remains sidelined
With Fournette (hamstring) having been ruled out for four of the Jaguars last five games, coach Doug Marrone relayed Wednesday that T.J. Yeldon will continue to "carry the load" Sunday against the Cowboys, John Oehser of Jacksonville's official site reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, the Jaguars' backfield depth options have changed, with Corey Grant (foot) now on injured reserve and Brandon Wilds having been waived. Now slated to back Yeldon up in Week 6 -- and possibly beyond -- are former Pro Bowler Jamaal Charles and David Williams, who was signed off Denver's practice squad.

Analysis: It's the second straight week that Marrone has ruled Fournette out four days in advance of the Jaguars' game. The timing of the announcement could suggest that Jacksonville is expecting Fournette to miss additional action beyond Sunday with the right hamstring strain, which he aggravated in his return from a two-game absence during the Week 4 win over the Jets.

Fournette (hamstring) isn't expected to return for Week 6 against the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Fournette always seemed destined for a multi-game absence after he aggravated his persistent hamstring injury during a Week 4 win over the Jets. He already sat out Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Chiefs, with T.J. Yeldon dominating backfield work after Corey Grant (foot) suffered a season-ending Lisfranc injury.

Facing more uncertainty with hamstring
Coach Doug Marrone said Monday that he isn't sure how much time Fournette will need to recover from his latest aggravation of a hamstring injury, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Fournette returned from a two-game absence for Sunday's 31-12 win over the Jets, only to be removed when he aggravated his hamstring after taking 11 carries for 30 yards and catching one pass for five yards. Per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com, Fournette had an MRI after Sunday's game, and the image appeared no worse than it was a few weeks ago after he first suffered the injury.

T.J. Yeldon (ankle), meanwhile, is in line to suit up Sunday, according to Schefter, so he'll likely handle the bulk of the snaps out of the backfield. Corey Grant will also see an enhanced role on offense with Fournette sidelined.

Regardless of Thursday's participation, though, Fournette should still have a decent chance to play Sunday against the Patriots. T.J. Yeldon would likely act as the Jaguars' top option out of the backfield if Fournette ends up being ruled out for the contest or is significantly limited.

May not practice this week
Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone acknowledged that Fournette (hamstring) could be withheld from all three of the team's practices this week and still play Sunday against the Patriots, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Fournette will sit out Wednesday while he continues to battle a minor hamstring strain, and it appears a similar plan could be in place Thursday, too. Marrone acknowledged that Fournette is unlikely to truly test out the health of his strained hamstring until Friday, though it's not a given that the running back will be cleared to participate in the team's final practice session that same day. It appears Jacksonville is content to take a day-to-day approach with the 23-year-old while he manages…read more

Set to miss practice Wednesday
Fournette (hamstring) isn't expected to practice Wednesday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Jaguars have labeled the injury Fournette sustained in their season-opening win over the Giants as a minor hamstring strain, with the team viewing him as day-to-day at this juncture. While it's not the most reassuring sign of Fournette's health that he's being held out of the team's first practice session of the week, it's possible Jacksonville is just taking a cautious approach with its star back. More clarity on Fournette's availability for the Week 2…read more

Considered day-to-day
Coach Doug Marrone said Fournette is considered "day-to-day" with a minor hamstring injury, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Marrone said it's too early in the week to determine whether Fournette will play in Sunday's game against the Patriots, but the fact that there's even a chance the running back could suit up is nonetheless great news for Fournette and his fantasy owners alike. We should get a better feel for the situation Wednesday when the Jaguars post their first injury report of the week.

Sensing optimism from team
Coach Doug Marrone said Sunday that he's "pretty optimistic" about Fournette's hamstring injury, J.P. Shadrick of Jaguars.com reports.
Analysis: Fournette was removed in the second quarter of Sunday's 20-15 win over the Giants, finishing with nine carries for 41 yards and three catches for 14 yards. T.J. Yeldon dominated backfield work for the rest of the afternoon, with Corey Grant contributing just one carry on six snaps. Speaking to ESPN's Josina Anderson after the game, Fournette said he could've returned to the contest and plans to play against the Patriots in Week 2. Marrone was also optimistic, albeit to a much lesser extent.…read more

Downplays hamstring issue
Fournette told Josina Anderson of ESPN that his hamstring is "good" and that he could have re-entered Sunday's 20-15 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Fournette suggested that the team was "being cautious" by holding him out after he tweaked his hamstring Sunday. The running back's assessment of the situation is certainly promising, but we'll nonetheless monitor Fournette's status in advance of Week 2's game against the Patriots. Next in line for the Jaguars' carries in the event that Fournette's hamstring flares up again in the coming days is T.J. Yeldon.

Won't return Sunday
Fournette (hamstring) was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Giants, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Fournette went down in the first half with a hamstring injury, which was deemed severe enough to sideline him for the rest of the Jaguars' regular-season opener. If Sunday's backfield usage is any indication, T.J. Yeldon (10 touches at the start of the fourth quarter) would be the desired handcuff over Corey Grant (one touch) in the event Fournette misses time.

Tears through Atlanta defense
Fournette took 10 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown and caught each of his three targets for 18 yards in Saturday's preseason win over Atlanta.
Analysis: Slimmed down to 223 pounds at the start of training camp, Fournette showcased his improved agility on a 21-yard touchdown run in Saturday's game. He's taken 23 carries for 93 yards and two touchdowns this preseason, adding five catches for 35 yards on five targets. T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant also got some snaps with the first-team offense Saturday, but it was interesting to see Fournette catch a couple passes to convert third downs, after coach Doug Marrone mentioned Tuesday that he's working…read more

Finds end zone in preseason debut
Fournette carried eight times for 12 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's preseason contest against the Vikings. He also caught both his targets for 17 yards.
Analysis: Fournette averaged just 2.9 yards per touch against a stout defensive unit, but he capped off a long touchdown drive with a one-yard plunge to start the second quarter. The big back will take on a massive load this season, so the team has taken it easy on him during training camp in order to preserve him. That said, he should see an increased responsibility next week against the Falcons.

Down to 223 pounds
Fournette said he now weighs 223 pounds, Jeff Duncan of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Analysis: Fournette has made good on his stated intention to return to his typical college weight around 225 pounds, after playing most of his rookie season at 230-235. He actually checked in at 240 during last year's combine, yet still managed to run the 40-yard dash in 4.51 seconds. With his size-speed combination proven to be rare at any weight, Fournette presumably shed pounds in an effort to improve his acceleration and agility, which seems like a wise decision on the heels of a rookie campaign in…read more

Heading into camp down 11 pounds
Fournette expects to enter training camp at 224 pounds, which is 11 pounds lighter than he was last season, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports. "I feel like I play my best at that weight -- 223, 224 -- that's what I played in college," the second-year running back said. "Why not? I don't want to be average. I want to be above average, be the greatest one to play this game. I feel lighter, quicker and I have a lot of my burst."
Analysis: The Jaguars led the league in rushing behind Fournette last season with 141.4 yards per game. However, he struggled to break free for runs over 10 yards, as is evident by his 3.9 yards per carry. Teams stacked the box against the Jaguars as the season progressed, resulting in an average of less than four yards per carry for Fournette in five of the final seven games. Now, he heads into camp over 10 pounds lighter with a more concerted effort to stay in better shape in order to avoid injuries…read more

The Jaguars reinforced their commitment to Fournette and the running game with the offseason signing of left guard Andrew Norwell, ESPN.com's Michael DiRocco reports.
Analysis: Norwell received the richest contract in league history for an interior lineman, though Cowboys G Zack Martin has since received a slightly larger deal. The Jaguars still don't have a dominant offensive line, and TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins is a downgrade from Marcedes Lewis as a blocker. However, the combination of Norwell and center Brandon Linder at least creates a clear area of strength in the left A-gap. The upgrade should help Fournette improve on his rookie-year mark of 3.9 yards per…read more

Fournette ran for 76 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries while adding 13 yards on two catches during Sunday's 24-20 loss in New England.
Analysis: Fournette put the Jaguars up by 11 in the second quarter when he bulldozed up the middle through New England's front for a four-yard score. His impact from then on was minimal as the Patriots focused on taking away the run game and forcing Blake Bortles to throw the ball in disadvantageous downs and distances. The formula worked.

Ready to face New England on Sunday
Fournette (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's AFC championship game against the Patriots after logging limited practices all week.
Analysis: The Jaguars paced the NFL with an average of 141.4 rushing yards per game during the regular season, and we'd expect them to try to establish the ground game from the get-go Sunday. That should result in plenty of work for Fournette, barring any injury setbacks, with T.J. Yeldon on hand to work in a complementary/change-of-pace role.

Scores thrice in postseason win
Fournette rushed 25 times for 109 yards and three touchdowns and brought in two of four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 45-42 AFC divisional-round win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Fournette fought through a late second-quarter ankle injury to return at the start of the third quarter. Although he was considerably less productive in the second half, a pair of first-quarter touchdown runs of one and 18 yards garnered the Jaguars an important early 14-0 lead.

Held in check in postseason win
Fournette rushed 21 times for 57 yards and brought in there of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 10-3 AFC wild-card win over the Bills. He also recovered a fumble.
Analysis: Fournette found tough sledding on the ground against a Bills defense that had been porous against the run for most of the season. The standout rookie's longest run of the day was a modest 16 yards, leaving him with just 41 yards on his other 20 carries. Fournette will look to up his production in next Sunday's AFC divisional-round matchup against the Steelers, a team that he trampled for a career-high 181 yards and two touchdowns back in Week 5.

Fournette rushed 19 times for 69 yards and brought in four of five targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Fournette's rushing tally allowed him to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark, and he also established a career high in receptions and receiving yardage in the process. The 2017 first-round pick only eclipsed 4.0 YPC in one game over his last five, although he did manage to find the end zone on three occasions over that span. The 22-year-old will undoubtedly be a focal point of the Jaguars' postseason aspirations, which begin in earnest in next Sunday afternoon's wild-card tilt against the Buffalo Bills.

Expected to play Week 17

Analysis: Marrone said he hold out any players that have been cleared by the medical staff, and while he might make an exception for the likes of Allen Hurns (ankle) or Marqise Lee (ankle), there's not a lot of concern with Fournette, who isn't even listed on Wednesday's injury report.

Fournette ran for 48 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries against San Francisco on Sunday, adding three receptions for 22 yards on three targets.
Analysis: Fournette couldn't pile up much yardage from scrimmage, but the 49ers run defense has been one of the best in the league of late, and the reality for the foreseeable future will be that Fournette sees stacked defensive fronts as defenses instead test their luck with Blake Bortles, whose three turnovers in this loss will only encourage a similar approach from the Titans in Week 17. Fournette's quadriceps injury appears to be a non-issue at this point, in any case.

Logs full practice
Fournette (quadriceps) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Fournette's ability to log a full practice supports head coach Doug Marrone's assertion that the running back will return for Sunday's game in San Francisco after sitting out for a blowout win of the Texans in Week 15. The 49ers have limited opposing RBs to 3.9 yards per carry and six rushing touchdowns, but they've struggled to defend backs in the passing game and haven't had much luck in tough matchups against the likes of Ezekiel Elliott, Todd Gurley and Adrian Peterson.

He came up hobbling at the end of a second-and-goal run later in that frame, but stayed in the game and ultimately reached the 20-carry mark for the sixth time in 10 career games. While Fournette hasn't shown much explosiveness of late with just one touchdown and an average of 2.9 yards per carry over the past four weeks, his heavy usage makes the talented rookie a strong option moving forward nonetheless.

Analysis: Fournette was listed as questionable with the ankle issue throughout the week, but he tied his season high in carries and exceeded 100 scrimmage yards for the fourth time in his last five games.

Analysis: Fournette was listed as questionable after limited practices Wednesday and Thursday and no participation Friday, and while he may be able to play Sunday, he is certainly not going to be 100 percent and may be a risky option for fantasy purposes. Given the issues, Chris Ivory and T.J. Yeldon could still see a limited increase in workload.

Optimism for availability growing
Fournette (ankle) will be evaluated before Sunday's game against the Browns, but the team is optimistic he will play, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: Fournette is officially listed as questionable after limited practices Wednesday and Thursday and no participation Friday, and while he may be able to play Sunday, he is certainly not going to be 100 percent. Given the issues, Chris Ivory and T.J. Yeldon could see a limited increase in workload, which obviously takes touches away from Fournette.

Questionable Sunday after missing practice
Fournette (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns after not practicing Friday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Back-to-back limited practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday supported the notion that Fournette would play through his ankle issue this week, but the running back's absence Friday suggests that he's not necessarily a lock to play Sunday. If Fournette does ultimately suit up, it's plausible that he could be limited with his ankle "still not right," a source informed FloridaFootballInsiders.com. Fournette first tweaked his right ankle Oct. 15 against the Rams and was ultimately forced to miss…read more

Not practicing Friday
Fournette (ankle) didn't suit up for Friday's practice, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Fournette was limited at the Jaguars' first two practices of the week while battling ongoing soreness from the ankle injury he first suffered Oct. 15 against the Rams, but it didn't seem to provide much cause for concern. However, his absence Friday firmly puts his availability for the Week 11 matchup with the Browns into question. Expect the Jaguars to provide more details regarding Fournette's status after Friday's practice comes to a close.

Fournette (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Analysis: Though Fournette has been limited during the Jaguars' first two practices of the week, it doesn't appear that he's worried about the injury to his right ankle, which he tweaked in the fourth quarter of the Week 10 win over the Chargers, keeping him out Sunday against the Browns. Instead, Fournette indicated Thursday that the forecast of snow, wind and cold weather in Cleveland this weekend was of greater concern to him, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. Fournette grew up in New Orleans…read more

Back on injury report
Fournette was limited at Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: It's presumably the same injury that held Fournette out Week 7 against the Colts, though he wasn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chargers. While there haven't been any media reports regarding a setback, Fournette's practice status will need to be monitored in the coming days as the Jaguars prepare for Sunday's matchup with a Cleveland defense that's allowing only 3.1 yards per carry and 86.4 rushing yards per game.

Fournette rushed 17 times for 33 yards while catching two of four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Chargers.
Analysis: A well-rested Fournette came in with massive expectations against a porous Los Angeles run defense, but was bottled up throughout. He managed just 21 yards on nine carries without a target in the first half and sat most of the second half with his team abandoning the run. Between getting scratched last week for a violation of team rules and this ugly performance, the standout rookie hasn't done his owners any favors of late.

Back on track for Week 10
Fournette and Jaguars coach Doug Marrone both believe the running back is back on track ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Marrone unexpectedly made the rookie inactive for Sunday's 23-7 win over the Bengals in response to an unspecified violation of team rules (Fournette has since hinted that timeliness was part of the issue). While obviously disappointed to miss the game, Fournette now seems to be on the same page as his head coach, who already said that he doesn't have any concerns about the running back's professionalism moving forward, per John Oesher of the Jaguars' official website. Fournette figures to jump…read more

Expected back Week 10
Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said he expects Fournette, who was inactive for Sunday's win over the Bengals for an "infraction of a team rule," to play Week 10 against the Chargers, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Analysis: Following the Jaguars' win, Marrone declined to comment on why Fournette was a healthy inactive for the contest, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relayed Sunday that the decision was made after the rookie missed multiple appointments. Marrone indicated that he didn't think Fournette's professionalism would be an issue going forward, so it's expected that the star running back will take back his starting role next week while seeing his usual healthy volume of touches. Chris Ivory (20 carries for…read more

Made inactive after missed appointments
Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone decided to make Fournette inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals after the rookie missed some appointments recently, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rapoport notes that Fournette missed a workout and a treatment session, while Field Yates of ESPN relays that the running back was also absent from the team's photo earlier this week. With Marrone intent on "trying to establish a culture," per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Fournette will be held accountable for his multiple absences, though it's not expected that he'll miss additional games beyond Sunday. Chris Ivory is slated to start in Fournette's stead in Week 9 and is expected to split time out…read more

Surprise inactive for Week 9
Fournette is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals due to a violation of a team rule, Mike Kaye of FirstCoastNews.com reports.
Analysis: The nature of Fournette's violation isn't known, but he'll sit out a second consecutive game as a result, after an ankle sprain prevented him from suiting up in the Jaguars' previous contest before their Week 8 bye. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Chris Ivory will garner the starting nod with Fournette out, but T.J. Yeldon should also receive liberal usage after logging 137 total yards on 11 touches in the Jaguars' Week 7 win over the Colts.

Puts in full practice Wednesday
Fournette (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant during Wednesday's session.
Analysis: It appears that the Jaguars' Week 8 bye provided sufficient time for Fournette to rest his sprained ankle, which prevented him from playing in the team's last game Oct. 22 against the Colts. The Jaguars still won that contest comfortably while leaning on a ground-heavy attack led by T.J. Yeldon, but a healthy Fournette should immediately reclaim an ample workload Sunday against the Bengals. The bigger question is if Yeldon will displace Chris Ivory as the top backup to Fournette, who has earned…read more
