Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was involved in a minor car accident on Tuesday, but it does not sound as though the rookie sustained any injuries.
Jaguars senior manager of public relations Tad Dickman shared the news on Twitter and said Fournette is “okay and was able to drive home” after his car was rear-ended by another vehicle.

Nothing like giving fans a scare before the biggest game of the year, huh?
Fournette should be a huge part of Jacksonville’s game plan in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, as the Jags will try to keep Tom Brady and the New England Patriots’ offense off the field as much as possible. Fournette was downright dominant in a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend, rushing for 109 yards and three scores on 25 carries. The former LSU star set the tone right from the opening snap, and he will look to do the same in Foxboro.
