Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Leonard Fournette said Saturday he expects to be healthy in time for the Sept. 10 regular-season opener despite an injured foot, according to John Oesher of the team's official site.
"That's nothing to worry about," said Fournette.
The No. 4 overall pick said his foot issue isn't related to the ankle injury he dealt with in his final season at LSU.
Wide receiver Marqise Lee is also confident he'll be ready to suit up in Week 1 after avoiding a serious ankle injury in practice Sunday, according to Oesher.
With uncertainty at quarterback due to Blake Bortles' struggles, Fournette is expected to the focal point of the Jaguars' offense in 2017.
