Bernard (ankle) remained unavailable for practice Thursday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Bernard seems very unlikely to be available for Saturday's preseason finale against the Colts, as he has yet to return to the practice field after tweaking his ankle Aug. 13. When healthy, the running back is expected to be a change-of-pace option behind Leonard Fournette in the Buccaneers' backfield this year.
