Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians confirmed everyone’s suspicions Thursday, running back Ronald Jones will in fact miss Saturday’s game against the Detroit Lions.
As expected, Arians says Ronald Jones will miss a second game while he remains on COVID-19 reserve list. Leonard Fournette had two touchdowns last week stepping up into starting role.

Jones fractured his pinkie against the Minnesota Vikings in their week 14 matchup. Shortly after having surgery on his pinkie, Jones was placed on the Reserve/Covid-19 list.
