OK, take a deep breath, Jaguars fans.

Talented rookie running back Leonard Fournette was involved in a minor three-car accident Tuesday morning, per WJXT-TV in Jacksonville, Florida.

Fournette was involved in a three-vehicle crash on Interstate 295 near the Dames Point Bridge, authorities confirmed to WJXT.

Sgt. Dylan Bryan of the Florida Highway Patrol confirmed to the news station that Fournette was the third car in a three-car chain reaction crash.

The accident took place around 11:40 a.m. local time.

Tad Dickman, the Jaguars’ senior manager of public relations, confirmed the news via Twitter.

“Leonard Fournette was involved in a minor accident today when his car was rear-ended,” Dickman wrote.

“Leonard is okay and was able to drive home,” he added. “Appreciate everyone that has reached out to check on him.”

The relative harmlessness of the incident hasn’t stopped football fans from launching into the latest Patriots “-gate” conspiracy, given Jacksonville’s next opponent.

Fournette made the best of the situation.

The Jaguars are getting ready to play in just the franchise’s third AFC championship game on Sunday.

They will travel to face the New England Patriots and battle for a spot in Super Bowl LII.

The Patriots have opened the game as a hefty 9-point favorite against the upstart Jaguars.

Jacksonville is coming off a thrilling 45-42 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC divisional round.

Fournette had a monstrous game against the Steelers, tallying 109 rushing yards and three touchdowns despite injuring his ankle early in the game.

He’ll probably need a similarly productive game for the Jaguars to pull off the upset in Foxborough.
