Leonard Fournette finds some humor after his suspension last week
Leonard Fournette was presumably not thrilled when he was suspended for last Sunday’s game due to a violation of team rules, but he could joke about it Wednesday.
With the Jacksonville Jaguars getting back to practice for this week’s game, Fournette was there. He wasn’t late either, as he noted in a pretty funny tweet.
I was on time……♂️ pic.twitter.com/VEzViAQtS3

There were reports Fournette was suspended for, among other things, missing the team photo. The fourth pick of this year’s draft is having an excellent rookie season, and it sounds like he’s not planning on getting in any more trouble.
Want to apologize to everyone for last week and make sure our stadium is pack this weekend and yes I️ will be there on time….

Man one of the best and most difficult lessons you can learn in life is that no one owes you anything and you owe yourself everything…….

Whatever led to the suspension isn’t bad enough to keep Fournette out for multiple weeks. The team and player would probably be thrilled to move on and never worry about it again (which is easier because the Jaguars won without Fournette last week). As long as Fournette keeps showing up on time for the rest of the week, that shouldn’t be a problem.
