Jones (ankle) won't play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Jones wasn't able to practice all week before head coach Bruce Arians ruled him out Friday for the postseason opener. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and Giovani Bernard (hip/knee) both hoping to come back from injured reserve this weekend -- and both shaping up as potential game-time decisions -- it's hard to discern what the Tampa Bay backfield will look like for the wild-card round. Last week, with both Jones and Fournette out, Ke'Shawn Vaughn took 12 touches for 41 yards and a touchdown, with Le'Veon Bell adding four touches for 15 yards and a score of his own in the Buccaneers' 41-17 win over Carolina. Vaughn took 45 percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, with Bell at 38 percent and Kenjon Barner taking 15 percent.
