The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released their inactives for their first game of the 2018 season. Rookie running back Ronald Jones was a healthy scratch after an underwhelming preseason.
Jones was listed as the third running back on the depth chart but Tampa Bay opted to go with the undrafted rookie Shaun Wilson instead. Wilson is a viable return man and can catch passes on third down. At the moment, he brings more to the table than Jones.
This isn’t a great look for Jones. The second-round pick entered the season with high expectations and to see him as a healthy scratch for Week one is concerning.
