Jacksonville Jaguars running back Rashad Jennings is officially listed as probable for the team's game on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jennings is dealing with an injury to the same knee that landed him on injured reserve last season. He re-injured the knee in a Week 1 loss against the Minnesota Vikings. Jennings practiced in full all week and is a near-lock to play on Sunday. In Jennings' absence, however, Maurice Jones-Drew has retaken control of the Jaguars backfield, so Jennings will be relegated to a backup role.

Fantasy Impact: Rashad Jennings was everyone’s favorite fantasy sleeper in the preseason. His injury has buried his fantasy stock, however. While it’s still reasonable to expect him to re-establish a role in Jacksonville’s backfield, it may not be quite as big of a role as once expected.
