Yates says there are “reasons” for the absence, which suggests Fournette did other things too.
NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport shed light on that. He says Fournette also missed some appointments, including a workout and treatment.

Fournette has 596 yards and six touchdowns this season. He did not play in last week’s game against the Colts due to an ankle injury.
