The Jacksonville Jaguars have had to play several games without star running back Leonard Fournette this season, and that will be the case again in Week 13.
Fournette has been suspended one game for his role in a fight with Buffalo Bills defensive lineman Shaq Lawson last week. He appealed the suspension, but he will not play against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday after the appeal was denied.
#Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette, suspended one game for his actions during Sunday’s fight, lost his appeal. The suspension was affirmed by appeals officer James Thrash, jointly appointed by the NFL & NFLPA. He remains out for Jacksonville’s upcoming game.

The suspension is hardly a surprise after Fournette threw a swing at Lawson and then continued to have it out with him in the tunnel following his ejection.
Jacksonville has lost seven straight games heading into Sunday, and they are hoping to snap that streak with Fournette sidelined and Blake Bortles having been benched for Cody Kessler.
