Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Giovani Bernard (knee, hip) was activated from the Reserve/Injured-Designated to Return list Saturday, Jan. 15, and is expected to play vs. the Philadelphia Eagles in Wild Card Weekend, according to a source..
| Footballguys view: Bernard will be out there as a change-of-pace option for the Buccaneers. Leonard Fournette is as questionable as you can be for Sunday's game against the Eagles. We might see Le'Veon Bell and Bernard as the top two backs for the Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round. |

Buccaneers | Tampa Bay's Wild Card Round injury report Fri Jan 14, 03:04 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones (ankle) and WR Cyril Grayson (hamstring) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for the Wild Card Round against the Philadelphia Eagles. CB Sean Murphy-Bunting (hamstring) and CB Carlton Davis (back) were limited in practice Friday, Jan. 14, and are listed as questionable. WR Justin Watson (quad) was upgraded to a full practice on Friday but is also listed as questionable. LB Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder, knee), TE Rob Gronkowski (rest) and DL Ndamukong Suh (rest) did not practice on Friday but are expected to be active. LB Shaquil Barrett (knee), CB Jamel Dean (hamstring), WR Mike Evans (hamstring), C Ryan Jensen (shoulder), LB Anthony Nelson (ankle), WR Breshad Perriman (hip), P Bradley Pinion (hip), CB Rashard Robinson (groin), RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn (ribs), QB Tom Brady (rest) and DL Steve McLendon (rest) practiced in full on Friday and have been removed from the injury report.
| Footballguys view: The Buccaneers could have Leonard Fournette out there as the lead back in the Wild Card Round but he's a game-time decision. Behind him, Gio Bernard and Le'Veon Bell could work into the mix with Bell getting the most work if Fournette can't play. Gronkowski is just getting rest before the playoffs, but he should be good to go this weekend. |

Free-agent WR John Brown (Jaguars) signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' practice squad on an undisclosed contract Thursday, Jan. 13. In a corresponding move, RB Darwin Thompson was released.
| Footballguys view: The Buccaneers have a need at the wide receiver position with Chris Godwin out and Antonio Brown gone. Brown, who Bruce Arians dubbed "Smoke" when they were with the Cardinals, is a seasoned veteran who can still bring speed to the field. We'll see if the Buccaneers need to lean on him at some point during the postseason. |

Buccaneers | Vita Vea gets paid Sat Jan 8, 09:41 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers DT Vita Vea agreed to a four-year, $73 million contract extension Saturday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: Vea is a massive run stuffing defensive tackle who showed more pass rush prowess than expected. The Bucs also recouped later picks when they took Vea by trading down from 7 to 12 with Buffalo (who took Josh Allen). Two of those later picks turned into Super Bowl starters Carlton Davis and Jordan Whitehead. |
