With questions remaining about the status of star running back Leonard Fournette heading into tomorrow’s pivotal game against the New England Patriots, the Jaguars have made what seems like a precautionary move and promoted running back Brandon Wilds from the team’s practice squad.

Wilds spent a majority of last season on the Jaguars practice squad, and has appeared in two regular season games during his three year NFL career, rushing for 27 yards on 10 attempts, and gaining 20 yards on two receptions while with the New York Jets in 2016.
