Predictably ruled out Fournette (hip) won't travel with Tampa Bay and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game in Cleveland, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Fournette was listed as doubtful on Friday's final injury report, so it always seemed unlikely the veteran would be unable to suit up. Expect Rachaad White to see plenty of workload with the newly activated Giovani Bernard (ankle) also mixing in on passing downs.

Doubtful for Sunday Fournette (hip) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Browns, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact According to Greg Auman of Fox Sports, head coach Todd Bowles characterized Fournette as a game-day decision heading into Friday's practice, but after the running back remained a limited participant for the third time in as many days, the Buccaneers don't seem optimistic that he'll be able to suit up Sunday. Assuming Fournette is officially made inactive ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, Rachaad White should make his second NFL start and handle a large workload, after getting his first start over Fournette in the last game before Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye. Fournette suffered a hip pointer in the second half of that game and reportedly is still dealing with significant pain this week.

Buccaneers rookie Rachaad White seizing opportunity to help running game

Tampa Bay's running game has been historically bad. Rookie Rachaad White is helping the Bucs turn that around.

NOVEMBER 25, 2022

Stays limited at practice Fournette (hip) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report.

Impact Fournette has maintained his activity level this week following the hip pointer that he sustained in the Bucs' last game, a Week 10 victory versus the Seahawks in Munich. Coach Todd Bowles described Fournette's injury as "very sore" Wednesday, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com, so the running back's status will be one to monitor as the week continues. Friday's report could provide some clarity regarding Fournette's status ahead of Sunday's contest at Cleveland, but if he's limited or sidelined, Rachaad White would be set up to dominate Tampa Bay's backfield, with Ke'Shawn Vaughn also a candidate for reps.

Officially limited Wednesday Fournette (hip) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Impact Fournette suffered a hip pointer in the Buccaneers' last game, a Week 10 win against the Seahawks in Munich. Even with the benefit of a Week 11 bye, he emerged from the respite "very sore," head coach Todd Bowles told Jenna Laine of ESPN.com on Wednesday. The result for Fournette was a capped session to kick off Week 12 prep. If he's limited or sidelined Sunday at Cleveland, he would likely yield most of Tampa Bay's backfield reps to rookie Rachaad White, with Ke'Shawn Vaughn also on hand for touches.

Still sore after bye Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Wednesday that Fournette (hip) is still sore, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Fournette suffered a hip pointer in the second half of a Week 10 win over Seattle, and while reports shortly thereafter suggested he would likely be available after a Week 11 bye, Bowles' comments Wednesday put the running back's status into question. Rachaad White drew the start over Fournette in that final game before the bye, and it could be the rookie leading the way again even if Fournette is active for Sunday's game in Cleveland.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Expected to be ready after bye Fournette (hip) is expected to be available Week 12 versus Cleveland, the Buccaneers' next game after a Week 11 bye, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Fournette was forced out of Sunday's 21-16 win over the Seahawks in Munich during the fourth quarter due to a hip pointer, though even before that it was technically rookie Rachaad White who drew the start. By the contest's end, it was White who out-carried Fournette by a 22-14 margin, with the rookie also outpacing the veteran with 105 rushing yards compared to 57. It was, however, Fournette who scored Tampa Bay's only rushing touchdown. It's positive that Fournette is expected to be available Sunday, Nov. 27 versus the Browns, but even if he's made a return back to 100 percent health, it could be that White's career-best performance will result in the rookie earning an increased share of the Buccaneers' backfield work.

Impact Tampa Bay listed Fournette as doubtful to return at the time his injury was announced, and he remained off the field the rest of the way to finish the day with 14 carries for 57 yards and a touchdown to go along with a one-yard reception. After leaning heavily on the passing attack for each of their last three games, the Buccaneers surprisingly implemented a run-first offense in Munich, with Fournette averaging more than four yards per carry for only the third time this season prior to his departure. Notably, rookie Rachaad White technically drew the start for Tampa Bay and turned in a career-best performance (22 carries for 105 yards), potentially pushing his way into a more even timeshare with Fournette moving forward, if not unseating the veteran for the lead role entirely. Clarity on the Bucs' backfield plans may not arrive for a couple weeks, as Fournette is scheduled to undergo further evaluation on the injury while the team is on bye Week 11. Tampa Bay is set to return to action Nov. 27 in Cleveland in Week 12.
