Eagles vs. Bucs: Tampa to be without RB Leonard Fournette for wild card matchup

#Eagles vs. #Bucs: #Tampa to be without RB Leonard #Fournette for #wildcard matchup

One of the biggest obstacles to the Eagles upsetting the Buccaneers will be out on Sunday, as Leonard Fournette will be unable to play in the wild card round due to a hamstring injury.

Fournette, who hasn’t played since a Dec. 19 loss to the New Orleans Saints because of a hamstring injury, will not be activated, while Gio Bernard is likely to have a huge role after being activated.

Fournette had 127 total yards and 2 touchdowns in the Week 6 Bucs win.

Eagles vs. Bucs: Tampa activates 3 key players for wild card matchup

#Eagles vs. #Bucs: #TampaBay activates 3 key players including Leonard #Fournette for #SuperWildCard matchup against #Philadelphia

With the NFC wild-card matchups set and both teams beginning preparation, the Buccaneers just activated three key players, including bruising running back Leonard Fournette.

Tampa Bay designated inside linebacker Lavonte David and running backs Leonard Fournette and Giovani Bernard to return from injured reserve.

Bernard has been on I.R. since December 14, while David and Fournette were added to the list on December 23. All three have missed at least the minimum of three games necessary before being eligible to return from injured reserve.

Bernard logged eight carries for 58 yards and 23 catches for 123 yards and two touchdowns during the regular season. David had 97 tackles, five tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, four quarterback hits, three passes defended, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery before exiting a Week 15 loss to the Saints.

Fournette played in the first 14 games and led the team with 812 yards and eight touchdowns on 180 carries. A much-improved pass catcher, Fournette also logged 69 receptions for 454 yards and two more scores.

The three-week window started for those players, but the expectation is that they’ll start on Sunday against Philadelphia.

5 potential salary cap casualties that could interest the Eagles

A.J. Bouye among 5 potential salary-cap casualties that could interest the Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2020 NFL offseason with a need for dynamic playmakers on offense as Howie Roseman and company look to upgrade the defense at several pertinent positions also.

With the Eagles needing playmakers and upgrades on both sides of the ball and reduced prices, here are five potential salary-cap casualties that could interest the Birds:

***

1. A.J. Bouye, CB, Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars cornerback is due $15.4 million next season and his recent play doesn’t suggest that he’s worth that type of money anymore. At just 28 years of age, Bouye has both Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors on his resume.
