2. Leonard Fournette

Leonard Fournette is not expected to return before the Bears game and now- coupled with his injury- veteran RB LeSean McCoy is doubtful to play Thursday also.

Ronald Jones II had an excellent outing Sunday against the Chargers, but the Buccaneers need to be able to establish a run and Fournette being gone doesn’t help that cause.

Fournette was seemingly close to taking over the starting position before his injury and that has certainly set him back.

The Bucs will rely on rookie Ke’Shawn Vaughn to provide depth at the position with Fournette and McCoy out in this one.
