Me either, I was wondering if he'd get a 1 or 2 game suspension for that.

[ar1888]

Im willing to bet he plays after an appeal.

I don't know.  Got to set an example on this one.

The fact he came off the bench to throw the punch says to me that he has no chance of getting off with it.

Im not saying he won’t be suspended, i just think iy will be the week 14 game, not week 13.

Why would they switch it to 14 bud?

[ar1888]

Im guessing the appeal will not be heard right away.

The union will appeal it.

Ooohhh nice *rubs hands together really fast* the chance of it being a trap game just went up 87%

 

*sarcasm*

[BOTT]

How will the Jaguars replace Fournette's 3.5 ypc?? Wait.........

They could really make a run if they call up Jamarcus Russell to replace Bortles.

Not trying to nitpick you but did Norwood go on IR ? I thought an ankle injury where he would miss a few games.

Norwell... not Norwood.

[BlueCollarColts]

No excuse for this to not be win #7 with everything Jacksonville is going through.

[John Waylon]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see this one get reduced to a hefty fine for him. It was a stupid move on his part, but I don't know if the league will follow through making an example of him for it on this occasion.

Anyone that throws a punch at a dude wearing a football helmet should have to sit on the sideline for the next game writing a 2,000 word essay on why it's dumb to punch facemasks with your bare hands.

 

And pay the fine.

 

It doesn't take a genius to know that if the head/face is protected, you throw body punches...

Wait the guy was wearing his helmet when Fournette tried to punch him in the head?

 

Part of me is thinking you have to suspend him to send a message about fighting.  The other part of me is thinking . . . "The * wasn't going to hurt anyone but himself."

[braveheartcolt]

If his appeal fails, he will miss out this weekend. He should know his fate before Wednesday's practice, according to NFL.com. We shall see.

[csmopar]

His appeal is to be heard this afternoon with an announcement by Wednesday morning per ESPN radio...

[1959Colts]

 

He lost.

...Fournette will have to miss practices and team meetings this week and the game on Sunday. He can return to the team on Monday.

The suspension is unpaid, but it could cost even more if the Jaguars seek to void the $7 million in remaining guarantees on his contract...

Even though Fournette is sitting out. They still have some weapons at running back. Carlos Hyde and TJ Yeldon. Both guys that can equally do some work against our defense. We just need to play sharp and have good momentum and believe in the team. Darius Leonard brings that mentality to our defense.

I was just wondering about that. I know that a player's guarantees can be voided if he's suspended, but I'm not certain that it's true of any suspension. It might only be drug related or criminal related suspensions.

 

For instance, the Colts tried to void Trent Richardson's guaranteed money after he was suspended at the end of the 2014 season. He filed a grievance, and a settlement was reached. That suggests to me that it's not fully determined that a team can suspend a player and then void his guaranteed money. 

 

Of course, this was a league suspension, so it's not necessarily the same. It's also unlikely that the Jags are interested in voiding Fournette's remaining guaranteed money, at least not because of this incident.

Jalen Ramsey might be questionable too. Let's hope it's not an addition by subtraction scenario on Sunday.
