The Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2018 season is off to a concerning start, at least in the injury department.
The Jaguars announced that running back Leonard Fournette would not return against the New York Giants after injuring his hamstring during the second quarter.
INJURY UPDATE:
RB Leonard Fournette has been downgraded to OUT and will not return against the Giants.

Fournette spent much of 2017 battling a nagging ankle injury. An early hamstring problem will be deeply disappointing after he appeared to be healthy coming into the 2018 season.
Fournette had nine carries for 41 yards before departing the contest. Understandably, the Jaguars have not offered anything further on his status going forward, but this will definitely be a factor to watch ahead of Jacksonville’s Week 2 matchup with the New England Patriots.
