Fournette is reportedly uninjured and not at fault for the three car pileup. Nobody else was injured in the crash.
Fournette turns 23 this Thursday and has quite a week ahead of him. The Jags face off against the Patriots this Sunday in the AFC championship at Gillette Stadium.
And the Jaguars couldn’t afford to lose a pivotal player like Fournette at this point in the postseason. So far in this season alone, he’s run 1,040 yards and had nine touchdowns this season alone.
