Jaguars should place Leonard Fournette on injured reserve until he’s healthy Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette returned to action in Sunday’s game against the New York Jets Black Austin Seferian-Jenkins Jersey , but he barely made it to halftime before his hamstring injury knocked him out of the game again. In Week 1 against the New York Giants Fournette tried to make a cut upfield and got up gingerly holding the back of his leg. He missed the rest of the game and the following two weeks with a hamstring injury.In his post game press conference head coach Doug Marrone admitted he was concerned about the injury, which is understandable since a hamstring is usually something that’s going to linger for a while. Fournette will almost certainly miss this upcoming week’s game against the red hot Kansas City Chiefs (who play on Monday Night Football) and I’d be surprised if he returns before the bye week. With him coming back and getting hurt immediately, I’d imagine the Jaguars want to take it slow with him so he’s at least available later in the season as they’re making a playoff push and he’s not constantly re-aggravating it.That being said, I think the Jaguars should place Leonard Fournette on injured reserve, acquire another running back and plan to bring Fournette back after the bye week. NFL teams can return up to two players from injured reserve, however they must be on IR for at least eight weeks. That means if Fournette was placed on IR this week http://www.authenticsjacksonvillejaguars.com/cheap-a.j.-bouye-jersey , he’d be eligible to come back for the Week 13 game against the Indianapolis Colts (if my math is right). This would allow Fournette plenty of time to be fully healthy and be ready to go for the late season push and the likely playoff run, where he’d be needed the most. The Jaguars should also acquire another running back while he’s out, be it via trade or just signing a free agent that’s out there. No disrespect to Brandon Wilds, but they’ll need four backs on the roster for now so they’re not stuck in another situation like against the Tennessee Titans where one guy is knicked up, the other guy isn’t a full time back and then you have a guy just called up.Who they’d go out and get, I have no idea http://www.authenticsjacksonvillejaguars.com/cheap-josh-lambo-jersey , but it won’t be Le’veon Bell. The Jaguars will start Cody Kessler at quarterback against the Colts this weekend after head coach Doug Marrone decided to move Blake Bortles to the bench.Bortles started the last 72 games for Jacksonville and signed a three-year extension this offseason after piloting the Jags offense on the way to the AFC Championship Game last season. This year has seen none of that success, however, and Bortles said that he has no one but himself to blame for his winding up on the bench.“I put myself in this position and I didn’t play good enough,” Bortles said, via ESPN.com. “Didn’t win football games. Couldn’t find a way to get it done. And when that happens, it’s a business and everybody understands that. I don’t think there’s anything personal involved. As a quarterback Youth Leonard Fournette Jersey , I think you have one job and that’s to win a football game. And if you don’t do that, your time’s probably limited.”The next question for Bortles is whether he will remain in Jacksonville. Releasing him would leave $16.5 million in dead money on the cap in 2019 — $11.5 million if it’s designated a post-June 1 cut — and it’s clear the team has to find other options for the position before next season gets underway.Bortles knows that such decisions are on the horizon, but said his focus now is on helping Kessler while adding that he loves “playing football and would love the opportunity to play again.”
