Buffalo Bills Sign Veteran Running Back Leonard Fournette to Practice Squad

Fournette's signing follows Bills' lead running back Damien Harris's injury, adding experienced depth to the squad as the team maneuvers around this setback.

Leonard Fournette, a veteran running back, has signed with the Buffalo Bills practice squad, his agents announced on Monday. He passed a physical examination and will start on the practice squad.
Fournette's signing comes after the Bills' lead running back, Damien Harris, was placed on injured reserve due to a neck strain, creating a need for added depth in the Bills' running back position.
Previously, Fournette played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, rushing for 668 yards and three touchdowns, and receiving for 523 yards with three additional touchdown catches in 16 games during 2022.
Fournette has a proven track record in the playoffs (often referred to as 'Playoff Lenny'), contributing significantly to the Buccaneers's win at the Super Bowl LV, and his time at Bills will likely benefit from this level of experience.
While the Bills' current primary rusher, James Cook, has secured 486 yards so far through eight games, Fournette's veteran presence once he is elevated from the practice squad could provide valuable insights and shape the team's running game strategy.
