Jacksonville Jaguars star rookie running back Leonard Fournette will not be able to play in Sunday's game against the Houston Texans.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Fournette would not be available to the Jaguars in Week 15 due to ankle and quad injuries.

Fournette, 22, was selected by the Jaguars with the No. 4 pick in the 2017 NFL draft, and Jacksonville's investment has immediately paid dividends.

He has carried the ball 231 times for 923 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games. He immediately became the focal point of the team's offense and helped foster a smash-mouth identity on offense, taking pressure off quarterback Blake Bortles and the passing game.
