Things were going very well Sunday for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but they may have a big problem on their hands.
Star rookie running back Leonard Fournette limped off the field after a first down catch late in the second quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers while trying to execute a spin move.

CBS’s Evan Washburn reported on the CBS broadcast that Fournette had injured his right foot and was unable to put much weight on it, though he was eventually able to improve his movement and did not require X-rays. The Jaguars themselves listed an ankle injury and said Fournette was questionable to return.

The injury was to the same ankle that had bothered Fournette for much of the season. He was cruising at the time of the injury, having racked up 82 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries.
