Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones game-time decision vs. Saints

Leonard Fournette will continue to be a starter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians told reporters on Friday that Fournette will be the team's starting running back while Ronald Jones will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the New Orleans Saints, per Greg Auman of The Athletic. 

Jones returned to practice Thursday after not playing a single snap for Tampa Bay in its 31-23 wild-card win over the Washington Football Team due to a quad injury.

As the team's starting running back against Washington, Fournette had 19 carries for 93 yards and a touchdown while reeling in four receptions for 39 yards. 

In 13 regular-season games, the 25-year-old Fournette had 367 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. He also caught 36 passes for 233 yards.
