The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without running back Leonard Fournette on Sunday against the New England Patriots.
Fournette’s troublesome hamstring, which he injured during the season opener, will keep the running back out of Jacksonville’s big AFC championship rematch with the Patriots, with T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant being given the bulk of the carries instead.
Jaguars RB Leonard Fournette will NOT play in today’s game, per source. T.J. Yeldon and Corey Grant will get the workload for the Jaguars’ running game.

It’s a big blow, albeit not an entirely unexpected one. Fournette did not practice all week and looked increasingly unlikely to play as time went on.
To make matters worse, Fournette isn’t the only major injury concern for the Jaguars as they approach what is a pretty big game for them. We’ll see how they hold up.
