Report: Playoff Lenny Should Play

December 11th, 2022
Playoff Lenny

Update.

[UPDATE: 2:27 a.m.] Against a strong defense, the Bucs need all hands on deck.

It seems perhaps their best running back is ready to take the field.

Playoff Lenny was listed on the injury report as questionable for today’s game at San Francisco with a foot injury. But it seems per uber NFL insider Adam. Schefter, Playoff Lenny will tough it out.

That helps. The Bucs need every available talent this afternoon.

[UPDATE: 2:27 a.m.] Ian Rapoport of NFL Network Twitters that Akiem Hicks, also questionable with a foot injury, will play this afternoon.
