Leonard Fournette, Russell Gage Practicing Thursday
2 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (hip) and wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) are both practicing on Thursday to begin the week. They'll both probably be listed as limited participants, but it's good news nonetheless. Fournette was held out of the Week 12 overtime loss to the Cleveland Browns due to a hip-pointer injury he suffered in Week 10. Rookie Rachaad White led the backfield with 23 touches without Fournette on the field. Even if Fournette returns to face the New Orleans Saints on Monday night, he could take a back seat to White moving forward. Gage hasn't played in a game since Week 7. If he returns this weekend, he'll be fighting for scraps behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones, making him one to avoid for starting lineups, even in deeper leagues.
