TAMPA, Fla. — A year after his captivating postseason performance that spawned a smorgasbord of nicknames, Bucs tailback Leonard Fournette appears ready for his encore.
Fournette — A.K.A. “Playoff Lenny” and “Lombardi Lenny” — was activated from injured reserve Saturday and is eligible to play in Sunday’s NFC division playoff against the Rams after missing the past four games with a hamstring injury.
To make room for him on the roster, the team released veteran tailback Le’Veon Bell, who signed in December. Bell had eight carries for 18 yards, and four catches for 31 yards and a touchdown, in three contests.
