Leonard Fournette Activated from Buffalo Bills' Practice Squad
Veteran running back set to play first game of the season following injuries to key players.
- Leonard Fournette has been activated from the Buffalo Bills' practice squad and will play his first game of the 2023 season against the Los Angeles Chargers.
- Fournette's activation comes in the wake of a shoulder injury to Ty Johnson, who had been filling a larger role since the injury to Damien Harris and the firing of offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey.
- Fournette, a veteran running back, has a reputation for strong performance in the playoffs, with 4,478 rushing yards and 34 touchdowns over his six-year career.
- The Bills signed Fournette on October 30 to add depth after Damien Harris was placed on injured reserve.
- The Bills are currently aiming for a playoff berth, with a win probability of 90% against the Chargers, who recently lost quarterback Justin Herbert to a season-ending injury.
