Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones to start Sunday despite Week 1 benching, Bruce Arians says

TAMPA, Fla. -- Despite being benched after his second-quarter fumble against the Dallas Cowboys last Thursday night, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones will start this week against the Atlanta Falcons, coach Bruce Arians said Tuesday.

Arians also provided additional information on starting cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting, who was placed on injured reserve after he dislocated his right elbow Thursday night while attempting to make a tackle.

"Right now, it could be anywhere from four [weeks] until the end of the season. We're still looking at some MRI stuff and a second opinion on what has to be done if anything," Arians said.
