Leonard Fournette Could Miss Some Time
3 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) could miss a game or two, according to Ian Rapoport. Fournette was injured after an awkward hit in Sunday's shutout loss to the Saints after he amassed 67 yards from scrimmage. Ronald Jones II took over in relief and posted 63 rushing yards on just eight carries. If Fournette does in fact miss some action, Jones would find his way into the RB2 discussion as he figures to see the bulk of carries in the Tampa Bay offense. He likely won't have much upside in the passing game, as we saw Ke'Shawn Vaughn get some opportunities last night as well. Still, with matchups against the Panthers and Jets on the horizon, Jones could be extremely effective on the ground, as we have seen in the past when he was the starter last season.
