Buccaneers' Ronald Jones (finger) staying on Reserve/COVID-19 list for Week 15
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones was not activated off of the Reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Week 15.
What It Means:
Jones was placed on the list earlier in the week, and it's still unclear if he tested positive or was simply in close contact with someone who did. In any case, he wasn't activated off of it in time to be eligible for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Leonard Fournette, LeSean McCoy and Ke'Shawn Vaughn will handle the backfield work in his stead, and likely in that order.
The Saints currently rank 4th in the NFL in adjusted net expected points allowed per run play.
