Leonard Fournette - Page 7 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Active as expected Week 3 Fournette (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 3 clash against the Packers, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact As expected, Fournette will play through his hamstring issue for the second straight week and likely shoulder another solid workload out of the Buccaneers' backfield. Additionally, with Tampa Bay down its top three receivers in Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee), Fournette's pass-catching prowess could certainly come in especially handy against Green Bay's tough defense.

Expected to face Packers Fournette (hamstring) is expected to play Sunday versus the Packers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Fournette is officially listed as questionable for Week 3, but he played through the same hamstring injury last week while handling his usual starting role. The Buccaneers are preparing to operate with a severely hampered wide receiver group versus Green Bay, which could set Fournette up for increased opportunities in the passing game. An official word on the veteran's status will come prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Listed as questionable again Fournette (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Fournette played through the same injury last week, taking 87 percent of Tampa Bay's offensive snaps, and likely will do the same this week after logging limited practices Wednesday through Friday. It is possible the Bucs get backup RB Rachaad White more involved come Sunday, but it'll be a major surprise if Fournette is on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Puts in limited showing Thursday Fournette (hamstring) was limited in practice Thursday.

Impact The Buccaneers held Fournette back in practice last week and appear to be doing the same this week, too, as he tends to a hamstring injury. While he received a whopping 26 touches this past Sunday at New Orleans, he managed just 2.7 yards per carry and 4.5 yards per catch en route to 74 yards from scrimmage. Even if he heads into the weekend with a designation, Fournette is destined for another huge workload Sunday against the Packers, especially considering the banged-up nature of Tampa Bay's receiving corps.

Still limited by hamstring Fournette (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.

Impact Like he was all of last week, Fournette is beginning Week 3 prep with a cap on his reps due to a hamstring issue. The injury didn't stop him from surpassing 20 touches for a second straight game to begin the season, as he racked up 74 yards from scrimmage between 24 carries and two receptions in this past Sunday's win over the Saints. His workload in practice this week nonetheless looks as though it'll be limited ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Packers.

Workmanlike effort in Week 2 win Fournette rushed 24 times for 65 yards and brought in two of four targets for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact As his final line implies, Fournette had to essentially work for every yard, which was further underscored by the fact his longest run of the day went for only 13 yards. The bruising back may have also been fortunate to not get ejected for his role in touching off a multi-player brawl early in the fourth quarter, one that gained steam once Fournette shoved the Saints' Marshon Lattimore after the cornerback was jawing with Tom Brady following a third-down incompletion. Fournette's workload on the ground further cemented his unequivocal lead-back status -- Rachaad White was a distant second with two carries -- and he'll aim to continue churning out yardage versus the Packers in the Buccaneers' Week 3 home opener next Sunday.

Suiting up Week 2 Fournette (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game in New Orleans.

Impact Even though he was listed as questionable heading into the weekend after being limited in practices Wednesday through Friday, Fournette never appeared at major risk of missing Sunday's contest. He was one of six Buccaneers skill-position players who carried a designation into Sunday, but only wideouts Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) are sitting out against New Orleans. Even so, because Fournette appears to be in better health than many of the Bucs' receivers, it's possible that the running back takes on a larger role in the game plan both on the ground and as a key short-yardage target for quarterback Tom Brady.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Week 2 Fournette (hamstring) is listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Fournette was limited at practices throughout the week, but he never really appeared in danger of missing Sunday's contest. However, nothing is official yet, so fantasy managers should still confirm the running back's status before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If available, Fournette figures to handle another sizable workload after totaling 23 touches 137 yards during the season opener.

Officially questionable Fournette (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Fournette seems likely to play, given that he handled a huge workload Week 1 (23 touches) and managed limited practices throughout the week. Still, the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff needs to be monitored, as it's hard to tell exactly what's going on with the Bucs listing so many key players as questionable. Should Fournette end up missing the game or having his workload scaled back, Rachaad White would be most likely to pick up extra snaps and touches.

Limited again Thursday Fournette (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

Impact As Fournette did at Wednesday's session, which is more activity than Bucs wide receivers Mike Evans (calf), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee), all of whom were DNPs on Thursday. If the team is forced to operate with an amended group of pass catchers and Fournette himself is able to suit up Sunday at New Orleans, he could benefit from a more ground-based approach. In the end, Friday's injury report may clear up some of the question marks in Tampa Bay's skill-position ranks for Week 2

Limited with hamstring injury Fournette was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.

Impact Fournette showed no sign of limitation in the Bucs' season-opening win over the Cowboys, ranking sixth in snap share (76 percent) and tied for fifth in carries (21) among all running backs Week 1. Rachaad White was the only other back to play offensive snaps for Tampa Bay, and he would presumably be the main beneficiary if Fournette's hamstring injury turns out to be a significant hindrance heading into Sunday's game in New Orleans. Fournette previously missed time late in the 2021 season with a hamstring injury.
