Giovani Bernard - Back at practice The Buccaneers designated Bernard (hip) for return from injured reserve Wednesday. Impact Tampa Bay also designated top running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) for return from IR, allowing both players to resume practicing with the team following multi-game absences. Both would seem to have a fair chance at gaining clearance prior to Sunday's matchup with the Eagles, but Bernard likely wouldn't be in store for much more than passing-down work if he's available. Even if Fournette isn't activated and Ronald Jones (ankle) is sidelined, the Buccaneers could turn to Ke'Shawn Vaughn and Le'Veon Bell for carries ahead of Bernard.
