Jacksonville running back Leonard Fournette is in jeopardy of missing his second straight game when the Jaguars host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

Fournette is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury but a decision on his availability isn't expected until Sunday.

Backup running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) and star cornerback Jalen Ramsey (ankle) also is listed as questionable as are cornerback D.J. Hayden (toe) and right guard A.J. Cann (triceps).

"We've been playing a lot of tough games," Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone told reporters. "Players are doing the best job they can to get themselves ready to go, but we played a home opener in New York. We played a home opener here. Now we've got a divisional opponent.

"When you look at it a lot of teams are going through the same thing, just trying to keep everybody as healthy as they possibly can."

Fournette injured his hamstring in the opener against the New York Giants. He held out hope that he would play against the New England Patriots last Sunday before being ruled out hours before kickoff.

Ramsey was added to the injury report on Friday when he experienced ankle soreness.

Marrone declined to take a stab on rating the players' chance of being ready Sunday.

"I'm like O-for when I try to judge it," Marrone said. "I just think we've still got a lot of time so we'll just see where we're at."

If Yeldon (team-best 109 yards) and Fournette (41) are both on the sidelines, Corey Grant will take over as the feature back. Grant has 16 yards on five carries in two games.
