Leonard Fournette Injury Update: Buccaneers RB Ready to Return for Rams Fixture
Follow Us
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers do not want to compromise on their performance in the playoffs. They want all of their best players on the field. Some good news comes their way in this matter. The running back, Leonard Fournette, has been activated.
Fournette has been taken off the injury reserves before the Buccaneers division-round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. It brings the team closer to being at full force. The NFL insider Ian Rapoport first reported the good news. Since then, the Buccaneers have announced the status of Leonard Fournette. It seems like he is ready to go.
Expect Leonard Fournette will be activated off IR and will play tomorrow. Knowing Bruce Arians philosophy on snap counts, my guess is that he will not have one. I’ll be hammering the over on all his props.
