Le'Veon Bell - Signing in Tampa Bay official The Buccaneers officially signed Bell on Wednesday.
Impact Bell's presence will help provide depth in a backfield that could be without Leonard Fournette (hamstring) for at least three weeks, if he indeed ends up on IR. Ronald Jones projects to operate as the No. 1 running back in Fournette's absence, while a combination of Bell and Ke'Shawn Vaughn compete for complementary work. Across five games in Baltimore this season, Bell averaged just 2.7 yards per carry and caught one of three targets for negative one yards, but he did score twice on the ground.

Lavonte David - Likely to miss time David (foot) has a foot sprain that may keep him out for up to four weeks, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact David suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter of the Buccaneers' loss to the Saints on Sunday. The report adds that he could return in Week 18, and although he hasn't been ruled out for Sunday against the Panthers, it appears he is very doubtful to suit up. The former Pro-Bowler has been a force this season, with 97 tackles (63 solo), two sacks, three passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a recovery in 12 games. His presence will certainly be missed on the Tampa Bay defense for whatever length of time he is out. K.J. Britt and Kevin Minter are the likeliest candidates that will be called upon to step up in David's place.

Why did the Buccaneers sign Le'Veon Bell? Tampa Bay fills missing running back spot with former Ravens rusher Here's what you need to know about the Buccaneers signing running back Le'Veon Bell.
DECEMBER 21, 2021 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
NFL Rumors: Bucs Signing Le'Veon Bell, Placing Leonard Fournette On Injured Reserve The Buccaneers perhaps lost Leonard Fournette for the rest of the regular season. They've reportedly signed Le'Veon Bell pending a physical.

Leonard Fournette - Likely IR bound The Buccaneers are expected to place Fournette (hamstring) on injured reserve, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact When the transaction is official, Fournette will miss the rest of the regular season due to the hamstring issue he sustained this past Sunday versus the Saints. There's an expectation that he'll be able to return for the postseason, per Schefter, but Tampa Bay will turn over most of the backfield work to Ronald Jones for the next three games. As a corresponding move, the team is signing Le'Veon Bell to provide another depth RB option alongside Ke'Shawn Vaughn.

Le'Veon Bell - Signing with Tampa Bay The Buccaneers is poised to sign Bell, pending a physical, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Bell had a five-game stint earlier this season with the Ravens in which he averaged 2.7 yards on his 31 carries and scored two touchdowns on the ground. With Giovani Bernard (hip) on IR and Leonard Fournette picking up a hamstring injury this past Sunday against the Saints, the Bucs are in need of some depth at running back. If Fournette ends up missing time, Ronald Jones will be the fill-in with the starters, but Bell would provide a short-yardage and goal-line option to the offense.

Pat O'Connor - Lands on IR O'Connor (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact O'Connor has been one of the team's top special teams performers this season, so his absence will be a big blow to those units. The severity of the injury remains unknown, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that it's potentially a season-ending PCL tear. O'Connor will be sidelined for at least three weeks with the over IR, but he will receive a second option before determining if his season is over.

Chris Godwin - Heads to IR Tampa Bay placed Godwin (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Godwin's move to IR was merely procedural after head coach Bruce Arians confirmed Monday that the wideout suffered a torn ACL in addition to an MCL sprain of his right knee in the Buccaneers' Week 15 loss to the Saints. The transaction opens up a spot on the 53-man roster for fellow wideout Antonio Brown (ankle), who returns from a three-game suspension and could absorb a good portion of the 9.1 targets per contest Godwin had averaged through Tampa Bay's first 14 games.
