Charles Sims Placed on IR
6 years agoBuccaneers running back Charles Sims (knee) is out for the season. Sims was placed on injured reserve Thursday after suffering a knee injury deemed minor after the Bucs' second preseason game. With Sims down, the third-down role will need to be filled by either Jacquizz Rodgers or Peyton Barber. The upper-hand likely goes to Barber as of now due to his strong showing this preseason. Rookie tailback Ronald Jones II could still vie for a major role in the running back committee, however, he is going to have to show a lot more in the coming weeks. Jones II has been mostly unimpressive with the ball in his hands and has been usurped by Barber for the starting role.
