Ronald Jones II Doubtful For Wild-Card Weekend
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (ankle) is considered doubtful to play on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to head coach Bruce Arians. And even if Jones were somehow able to play on wild-card weekend, he'd be looking at a limited role with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) expected to return from Injured Reserve. The Bucs could also be getting back pass-catching specialist Giovani Bernard (hip, knee) from IR. Jones had 20 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown as the lead back in Week 16 before getting injured in Week 17 and missing the Week 18 regular season finale. The Bucs also have Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Le'Veon Bell for RB depth behind Fournette. Don't plan on having Jones for DFS lineups this weekend.
