Done for night due to hamstring Fournette (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact The Buccaneers have now lost their three receptions leaders this season in the same game, as Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (knee) were both ruled out at halftime. Fournette was hurt in the third quarter after rushing nine times for 34 yards and catching all seven of his targets for 33 yards.

Dressing for Week 15 Fournette (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Fournette was able to log only one limited practice prior to this Week 15 divisional matchup, but it was enough to play through ankle soreness. He's thus set to take on a leading role out of Tampa Bay's backfield, which has translated to 20.4 touches for 104.2 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring six TDs over five contests since the team's Week 9 bye.

Expected to suit up Sunday Fournette (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Fournette returned to the field as a limited participant Friday. Though the running back appears to be trending toward active status, fantasy managers will still want to confirm his availability as Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff approaches. If Fournette ends up limited or out, Ronald Jones would be next in line for touches out of the Tampa Bay backfield.

Officially listed as questionable Fournette (ankle) is listed as questionable after returning to practice Friday as a limited participant, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Earlier Friday, coach Bruce Arians said Fournette was a full practice participant and would be fine to play in Sunday night's game against the Saints. The second part is likely still true, but the 'questionable' designation means fantasy managers should at least consider potential backup plans for Sunday night, especially after Fournette managed just one limited practice during the week. Ronald Jones is the clear candidate to pick up carries and snaps if Fournette ends up inactive or at all limited against the Saints.

Impact Arians didn't say if Fournette will be removed from the injury report, but he did confirm the running back will play, after returning to practice Friday as a full participant. Ronald Jones will be the first guy off the bench if Fournette has trouble with the ankle Sunday night, while Ke'Shawn Vaughn could be an option for passing downs with Giovani Bernard (hip/knee) on IR. In all likelihood, Fournette will suit up and occupy his usual three-down role.

Sits out Thursday's practice Fournette (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Coach Bruce Arians relayed to Greg Auman of The Athletic on Wednesday that Fournette is tending to a sore ankle, which hasn't allowed the running back to take any reps so far this week. Fournette will have one more session to do so, but even if he doesn't get on the practice field there hasn't been any indication he's in danger of sitting out Sunday versus the Saints. Friday's injury report should provide some insight into his potential to play this weekend. Elsewhere in the Bucs backfield, Ronald Jones and Ke'Shawn Vaughn are the healthy options on the active roster, Kenjon Barner and Darwin Thompson are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad, and Giovani Bernard landed on IR on Tuesday.

Impact Fournette also missed Wednesday's session due to a sore ankle, so his availability for Sunday's game against the Saints looks to be in question at the moment. The Buccaneers should provide more information regarding Fournette's status following practice Friday, when he'll likely need to participate on at least a limited basis to have a shot at playing this weekend. With Giovani Bernard (hip/knee) recently heading to injured reserve, Ronald Jones and Ke'Shawn Vaughn are left as the depth options at running back behind Fournette.

Misses practice with sore ankle Fournette was held out from Wednesday's practice with a sore ankle, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact While coach Bruce Arians didn't make the injury sound serious, it's apparently enough to hold Fournette out of practice for the first time this season. He's coming off three straight games with at least 20 touches and 80 percent snap share, relegating Ronald Jones and Giovani Bernard (IR/knee) to minimal roles. Jones and Ke'Shawn Vaughn are left as the healthy running backs on Tampa's roster, with Kenjon Barner and Darwin Thompson signed to the practice squad.

Season-best rushing day in win Fournette rushed 19 times for 113 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of seven targets for 19 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-27 overtime win over the Bills on Sunday.

Impact Fournette hit the century mark on the ground for the second time in the last three games, with Sunday's total serving as a season high. The versatile back also kept his season-long multi-catch streak alive, although his receiving yardage checked in at its lowest since Week 8. Fournette's 47-yard touchdown run in the first quarter was the highlight of his production and gave him a rushing score for the third consecutive game. The 26-year-old will look to keep that favorable streak alive during a Week 15 Sunday night NFC South home showdown against the Saints.

Another big receiving day Fournette rushed 13 times for 45 yards and secured seven of eight targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 30-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Fournette found running room to be mostly at a premium against an active Falcons front, but he once again made an impact through the air. The veteran back tied with Mike Evans for second on the team in receptions and recorded his second receiving touchdown in as many games on a three-yard grab in the first quarter. Fournette's significant role as a receiver complements his fantasy value in games during which he's not as successful on the ground, and he's poised for another heavy overall workload in a Week 14 interconference battle against the Bills.
