TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday activated starting running back Leonard Fournette off injured reserve, making him eligible to play in Sunday's divisional playoff against the Los Angeles Rams.
To make room on the roster, the Bucs are waiving running back Le'Veon Bell.
Fournette, who suffered a hamstring strain in Week 15, began his 21-day practice window last week to return from IR. While there initially was confidence that Fournette could return for last week's wild-card game, he felt discomfort when he attempted to reach top speed and wasn't activated, coach Bruce Arians said.
