Leonard Fournette uninjured after minor car accident in Florida
The Jacksonville Jaguars are riding high after advancing to the AFC Championship Game with a big win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Star RB Leonard Fournette had a huge game, running for 109 yards and three touchdowns in the victory. He’ll be important to the Jags moving forward, as they are set to take on the New England Patriots this weekend with a spot in the Super Bowl on the line.
Fortunately, the ex-LSU standout is OK after being involved in a minor car accident on Tuesday:
RB Leonard Fournette was involved in a minor accident today when his car was rear-ended.
Leonard is okay and was able to drive home.
Appreciate everyone that has reached out to check on him.

Fournette was not at fault, and was a good sport about the incident, sticking around to take a picture with a boy involved in the crash and a state trooper as well:

He’ll be in uniform on Sunday in Foxboro, and it’ll be interesting to see if he can match his big performance from last weekend against a tough New England Patriots squad.
