Buccaneers' Leonard Fournette ruled out vs. Packers

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have to take on the Green Bay Packers without Leonard Fournette on Sunday.

Fournette, who was expected to return to the lineup this week, has been ruled out with a lingering ankle injury. 

Fournette missed Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers and played just one snap last week in a loss to the Chicago Bears. 

The 25-year-old has 24 carries for 123 yards and two touchdowns this season. He also has seven receptions for 34 yards. 

Tampa Bay also listed Ryan Griffin, Quinton Bell, Aaron Stinnie and Khalil Davis as inactive against the Packers.
