Leonard Fournette - 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.
