Jaguars’ Leonard Fournette apologizes for rule-breaking, benching
Jacksonville running back Leonard Fournette apologized Tuesday for violating a team rule that prompted head coach Doug Marrone to make him inactive against Cincinnati on Sunday.
Fournette also offered insight into what might have been a reason for his benching. The rookie vowed to be on time for Jacksonville’s game Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.
“Want to apologize to everyone for last week and make sure our stadium is pack this weekend,” Fournette wrote on his Twitter page. “And yes I will be there on time.” He included six tears of joy emojis at the end of the tweet.
Marrone declined to say exactly what Fournette did to be deactivated for the game.
