Leonard Fournette is expected to be activated off of injured reserve and play Sunday for the Buccaneers, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports. Fournette has been on IR and missed the last four games for the Bucs due to a hamstring injury. However, top backup running back Ronald Jones won’t be able to play due to an ankle injury, which makes the return of Fournette all the more important.
The Bucs were able to take care of the Eagles last Sunday as they were just the better team, and it didn’t matter who rushed the ball, but they figure to need a more potent rushing attack versus the Rams.
