Tom Brady and the Bucs deal with the Browns at the FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday. But they have remained prey to the injury plague, which fumbles their veteran stance and takes it off the games. It may look like a terrible setback for the run game. But the franchise may have something planned about that stance.
Tom Brady would have a shortfall in the run game?
As Per Ari Meirov, RB Leonard Fournette remains in the doubtful zone for the Buccaneers’ upcoming game against the Browns. Tom Brady will be missing his right-hand man. A hip injury kept him out of practice for the entire week. However, the team has a backup in Rachaad White, who will start the Week 12 game. Fournette’s absence could aid the rookie running back.

In the latest injury report shared by Greg Auman, Vita Vea stands questionable for the Sunday game. However, WR Russell Gage Jr and Guard Luke Goedeke are out from the game with hamstring and foot injuries, respectively.
Rachaad White is making an impression on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie RB carried the ball 22 times for 105 yards in the Week 10 victory in Munich, Germany. The utilization and output point to grander things in the future. Moreover, with such an output, Tom Brady may not miss out on the run-game production.

Byron Leftwich mentioned, “I think it was excellent to see him go out there and play an extended amount of snaps. I don’t know if he was ready for that many earlier. We saw the gifts that he had early but… We’re here with him every day, so we knew we had to get him to the point he could handle that type of load. He’s there now.”
