Buccaneers place Ronald Jones on COVID-19 reserve list on Wednesday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones was placed on the COVID-19 reserve list on Wednesday.
What It Means:
According to Greg Auman, Jones "needs to have negative tests before he can be cleared to return." If Jones' case is considered a close contact, the Buccaneers' running back will miss at least five days. Leonard Fournette and LeSean McCoy could be in line for increased roles if Jones is ruled out for Week 15's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
Fournette's current Week 15 projection includes 6.4 rushing attempts for 25.4 yards and 0.8 receptions for 5.3 yards while McCoy's expectation stands at 5.6 rushing attempts for 23.9 yards and 0.8 receptions for 5.5 yards.
