Report: Bucs running back Ronald Jones out with hamstring strain

TAMPA — Bucs rookie running back Ronald Jones is expected to miss significant time with a hamstring strain, according to an NFL Network report.

Jones left Sunday's game in Cincinnati in the second half and did not return. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Jones is expected to miss "a few weeks" with a hamstring strain.

The Bucs have gradually given Jones more snaps as the year's gone on — he was a healthy scratch in the team's first three games — but he played in just 16 plays on Sunday, his fewest in four active games this season.
