LSU's Fournette sidelined in spring practice due to minor injury

This is rather vague.

According to NBC Sports, star LSU running back Leonard Fournette did not participate in practice on Tuesday due to a minor injury described as a "soft-issue injury in an undisclosed location".

The bad news, of course, is that no one ever wants to see a player missing practice or a game due to an injury. The good news, though, is that the injury appears to be minor, and Fournette should be back on the field on Thursday.

Fournette is one of the best players in college football, proved by his 1,953 rushing yards in 12 games in 2015. The junior running back is expected to compete for the Heisman Trophy in 2016, as the Tigers as a whole are expected to compete for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
