After missing the last two games, running back Ronald Jones II has been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, the Buccaneers announced Tuesday.
Now that he has cleared the league’s COVID-19 protocols, Jones has one more hurdle in the way of a Week 17 return, as he is also dealing with a fractured finger. His activation means that he will be able to rejoin the team for practice on Wednesday, which will give him a chance to prove that he is capable of playing through the finger injury. If he can practice without issues, the team could see him return to the lineup for Sunday’s regular season finale against the Falcons.
