The 23-year-old missed last week's wild-card game against the Washington Football Team after he injured his quad during warmups.
Head coach Bruce Arians said Friday that Leonard Fournette will be Tampa Bay's starting runner against the Saints. Fournette racked up 93 yards and one touchdown on 19 rushing attempts versus Washington while adding 39 yards on four receptions.
Jones led the Buccaneers with 192 carries, 978 yards, and seven rushing touchdowns over 14 regular-season games. He's paced the team in rushing during each of the last two campaigns.
