Fournette is working out for the Bengals on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Cincinnati acquired Khalil Herbert last week with Zach Moss (neck) facing an extended absence, but it appears they are considering adding another RB to the backfield mix behind Chase Brown. Fournette saw action in only two regular-season games last season, gaining 40 rushing yards on 12 carries for the Bills.

Fournette is visiting with the Colts on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Fournette couldn't find a home until the end of October last season, when he signed with the Bills and appeared in two regular-season games. The veteran running back may have lost a step on the ground, but he was at least a capable receiver out of the backfield when he was with Tampa Bay in 2022, recording 73 catches on 83 targets for 523 yards, including three touchdowns. The potential addition of the LSU product would likely see him garner a practice-squad spot initially, but he'd ultimately look to surpass Tyler Goodson, and possibly Trey Sermon, on the team's positional depth chart behind clear lead back, Jonathan Taylor.

Fournette plans to sign with a new team before the start of the 2024 NFL season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Fournette is now four years removed from his last 1,000-yard rushing season, though in 2021 and 2022 he did surpass 1,000 yards from scrimmage with Tampa Bay due to his notable role in the receiving game. Last year, the 29-year-old veteran appeared in two regular-season games for the Bills as a depth piece before returning to the team's practice squad during the playoffs. Fournette still boasts a versatile enough skillset to carve out a role in a backfield light on depth, but at this stage in his career it's unlikely he secures enough touches for fantasy relevance without injuries ahead of him, even in an ideal landing spot.

The Bills cut Fournette from their practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Fournette provided depth behind lead back James Cook in Week 16 when Ty Johnson was out with a shoulder injury and again in Week 18 when Latavius Murray was a healthy scratch. The Bills then left Fournette on the practice squad for the wild-card round of the playoffs, with Johnson serving as the No. 2 RB and Murray the No. 3 in a 31-17 win over Pittsburgh. Fournette turns 29 on Thursday and will need to battle for a roster spot next summer if he wants to continue playing in the NFL.

Fournette reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Fournette was elevated for two of the final three games of the regular season, and in those appearances Week 16 at the Chargers and Week 18 in Miami, he combined for 12 carries for 40 yards. On Sunday, he even got more snaps (16-13) than fellow running back Ty Johnson behind starter James Cook (48 of 78) while Latavius Murray was a healthy scratch, signaling Fournette may be the top reserve option at the position heading into the postseason. Fournette's next chance to suit up is this coming Sunday against the Steelers in the wild-card round.
