Ronald Jones II Officially Ruled Out For Wild-Card Game
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Ronald Jones II (ankle) has been ruled out for the wild-card game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Meanwhile, Leonard Fournette (hamstring) remains on Injured Reserve and will be a game-time decision if he's activated on Saturday evening. That leaves Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Le'Veon Bell to soak up backfield touches against the Eagles if Fournette isn't activated and given the green light. There's also Giovani Bernard (hip, knee), who could be activated from IR for Sunday's game as well. The bottom line is that we won't really know what Tampa's backfield will look like on Sunday until an hour and a half before the game. The only thing we know for certain is that Jones will be out.
