Jaguars' Leonard Fournette: Primed for appearance

Fournette will play in Thursday's preseason game against Miami, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.

Given that he's been cautious with his key players so far this preseason, coach Doug Marrone probably won't give Fournette a big workload. It remains to be seen if/how backfield snaps are divided with the first-string offense this season, as there isn't an obvious candidate to replace Fournette on passing downs. Alfred Blue (ankle) has a good reputation for blocking, but he isn't available Thursday and doesn't look like a sure thing to return for Week 1. The depth chart otherwise holds Ryquell Armstead, Thomas Rawls, Elijah Hood and Devante Mays.
