Buccaneers' Ronald Jones: Ruled out against Rams

Jones (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jones will miss a second consecutive playoff game. Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is still on IR, and the Buccaneers have until 4 p.m. EST on Saturday to activate him. Fournette will likely lead the Buccaneers' backfield if available. Otherwise, Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Giovani Bernard (hip/knee) will split the workload in the divisional round, just as they did with both Jones and Fournette sidelined in the wild-card round win over the Eagles. If the Buccaneers advance to the NFC Championship, Jones would have an opportunity to make his return next week.
