Bucs’ Leonard Fournette Says He’s Playing Through Foot Injury

After playing a key role in Tampa Bay’s 19–16 overtime victory at Arizona on Sunday night and drawing praise from starting quarterback Tom Brady, Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette tweeted that he’s nursing a foot injury.

Fournette’s tweet took aim at critics who have suggested that the former No. 4 overall pick has lost a step.

“I hate when people be on here just talking saying I’m out of shape etc.” Fournette posted. “Y’all understand I’m playing with a lisfranc in my foot every week [and] can barely push off my foot, but through the Grace of God I’m going to keep proving y’all wrong #BucsWin.
