Leonard Fournette Injury Report: Hours Before 49ers Clash, Tom Brady Gets A Booster Dose In Must Win Battle Despite Sunday Setbacks

The Buccaneers are in a precarious position at the moment. If the team wants to stay on top of the table and make a playoff run, they need to win. However, Tom Brady might not have his full arsenal of weapons. The team is facing a lot of injuries right now, especially with key players. Furthermore, the Bucs have a crucial game lined up against the 49ers coming up that they need to win.

However, with two of the Bucs coming off the questionable list hoping to play, Brady might just have support again. As he plays against his childhood favorite team, the quarterback is most likely going into the game with all his cards on the table.

The return of Fournette and Hicks

Two key players that have contributed to the Bucs’ wins in the past are Leonard Fournette and Akiem Hicks. Fournette has been one of Brady’s favorite targets. Subsequently, Hicks has been one of the biggest presences on the defensive end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and his absence since week 2 has been sorely felt.

Both Fournette and Hicks have been out with foot injuries. However, Tampa fans might have some reignited hope, as there might be a chance for the two to play in the game against the Niners. None could be more pleased than Tom Brady as his teammates come back to support him.

Both players are expected to return to the field against the 49ers at Candlestick Park. The quarterback will finally have some support.

Tom Brady and the 49ers

Tom Brady had been huge for the 49ers growing up. He started going to 49ers’ games as a 4-year-old with his parents and fell in love with the game of football. So whenever the star quarterback gets the chance to play in San Francisco, it is special for him. Brady even spoke about this and mentioned the hero-worship sentiments he had for the olden-day players of San Francisco.

He has previously mentioned how he looked up to his idols and had said, “grew up obviously loving Joe Montana and Steve Young and going to the 49er games. That’s why I fell in love with football.” As Brady gears up to play at Candlestick Park, his teammates might be coming back to help him. The question that remains is will their contribution be enough to beat the Niners?
