Leonard Fournette didn't practice with Jaguars

Leonard Fournette did not practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday, a signal that he might not play Sunday for the third straight week.
Fournette has missed four of the last five games with a hamstring injury. Coach Doug Marrone told reporters that Fournette will try to practice Thursday, and the Jaguars then will be closer to knowing whether the running back will be available Sunday against the Houston Texans.
The Jaguars (3-3) lost their past two games and could use a healthy Fournette, who last season as a rookie gained 1,040 rushing yards along with 320 receiving yards and contributed 10 touchdowns.
But this season, Fournette injured his hamstring in Week 1 against the New York Giants. He sat out until Week 4 against the New York Jets when he injured it again. On the season, he has just 20 carries for 71 yards and no touchdowns.
Fournette's replacement, T.J. Yeldon, also missed practice Wednesday with foot and ankle problems.
Veteran Jamaal Charles, signed last week, and David Williams is the other running backs on the Jacksonville roster.
