Bucs RB Ronald Jones will reportedly miss multiple games with hamstring injury
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones has had a disappointing rookie season, and an injury has now made things even worse for the second-round pick.
Jones left Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a hamstring injury, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that he is expected to miss around three weeks.

Jones was a healthy scratch for the first several games of the season, and he has had a very limited role role over the past few weeks. Peyton Barber has operated as Tampa’s lead back with Jones mixing in for a few carries here and there. Considering the former USC star was expected to compete for a starting job in camp, the Bucs can’t be happy with how things have gone in his first NFL season.
