Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette is expected to play Sunday versus the Tennessee Titans, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Fournette missed the Jags' Week 2 matchup against the New England Patriots with a hamstring injury. In his absence, T.J. Yeldon took the lead role and had 12 touches for 71 yards in a 31-20 victory.
A conflicting report emerged from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, however, with a source telling Rapoport that it would be an "uphill battle" for Fournette to be on the field Sunday against the Titans.
Fournette carried the ball just nine times for 41 yards in the season opener against the New York Giants.
The Jaguars currently rank ninth in the league in rushing yards per game.
