For the second consecutive day, Leonard Fournette did not practice Thursday due to an ankle injury he picked up in Week 6, but expects to suit up Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.

"It's up to my coaches if they're going to let me play or not," Fournette said, according to Ryan O'Halloran of the Florida Times-Union. He added that he's "most definitely" healthy enough to play, but needs to show he can cut on the wonky ankle on Friday.

The rookie fourth overall draft pick has scored in every game he's played this season and is second in the league in rushing yards with 596. He's powered the Jaguars to No. 1 in rushing through six weeks.
