Leonard Fournette is likely to be placed on injured reserve because of the injury he sustained Sunday night, a league source told Adam.
A source said that Fournette is expected to return for the playoffs.
A source told ESPN that the Buccaneers are signing Le'Veon Bell, pending a physical, to back up Ronald Jones.
The loss of Fournette is a blow to the offense that lost wide receiver Chris Godwin for the rest of the season after he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Sunday night's loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Fournette injured his leg in the third quarter. He has rushed for over 800 yards and scored eight times.
With three weeks left in the regular season, the Bucs are in control of the South.
The report was contributed to by two people.
