Former Buccaneers' Super Bowl Champion Running Back Suspended With Cowboys

The former Buccaneers' running back will miss two games.

We're now well into training camp across the NFL and just less than eight Sundays away from kickoff from the 2023 season. The Buccaneers kicked off their camp last Wednesday and it's been a hot one in Tampa. 

Outside of Tampa though, a former Buccaneers' running back will miss a short period to begin 2023. Ronald Jones, who spent time with Tampa Bay from 2018-21, has been suspended two games for violating the NFL's PED policy per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Jones only recorded 17 carries, 70 yards, and a touchdown with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2022. The Cowboys' starting running back, Tony Pollard, is coming off of surgery in January and is limited going into camp which puts their running back room in a tough spot heading into the season. Jones' best season came in 2020 when he played with Tom Brady and Leonard Fournette winning a Super Bowl recording 978 rushing yards on 192 carries and seven touchdowns.
