JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette could miss his first game of the season because of a sprained right ankle.

Receiver Marqise Lee (knee) and safety Tashaun Gipson (neck) also were listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report. Lee and Gipson practiced on a limited basis Friday.

Centre Brandon Linder (illness) was ruled out for the third consecutive game. Linder is expected to return after Jacksonville’s bye next week.
