More impactful NFL injuries from Week 15
-RB Leonard Fournette, Tampa Bay
If you Buccaneers fans have strayed away from this article, we could hardly blame you. Fournette was another victim of a hamstring issue on Sunday night and his could be something that requires him to miss time, though not much in the grand scheme of things: Rapoport dictated that the rusher "might miss a game or two," but he "won't be on shelf long." Despite the optimistic outlook, Tampa Bay has already inked Le'Veon Bell to a contract to make up for the loss of Fournette.

-WR Julio Jones, Tennessee
Jones' NFL return from a hamstring injury didn't last long: he appeared on 45 percent of offensive snaps in last week's win over Jacksonville but had to leave Sunday's loss in Pittsburgh early with an ailment to the same hamstring. Tennessee's short turnaround, as they'll play in the NFL's last pre-Christmas game on Thursday night against San Francisco (8:20 p.m. ET, NFL Network), makes it unlikely he'll appear in Week 16, and it's possible the Titans could hold him out until their presumed playoff run begins.
