The Buccaneers are expected to place Fournette (hamstring) on injured reserve, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
When the transaction is official, Fournette will miss the rest of the regular season due to the hamstring issue he sustained this past Sunday versus the Saints. There's an expectation that he'll be able to return for the postseason, per Schefter, but Tampa Bay will turn over most of the backfield work to Ronald Jones for the next three games. As a corresponding move, the team is signing Le'Veon Bell to provide another depth RB option alongside Ke'Shawn Vaughn.
