The Jacksonville Jaguars may be without Leonard Fournette on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, as a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the club is noncommittal on the star running back's status and wants to test his injured ankle before the game.

Fournette, who is listed as questionable, initially injured the ankle Oct. 15 and re-aggravated the ailment last week against the Los Angeles Chargers.

The standout rookie has rushed for 629 yards and six touchdowns this season for the league's best rushing attack. Fournette has missed one game due to his ankle and one game due to a suspension for violating team rules. The Jaguars won both of those contests and rushed for 337 yards in the process.

Should Fournette be unable to play, expect Chris Ivory to get the start for the AFC South leaders.
