Bucs’ Rachaad White expected to play vs. Colts

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was a late addition to the injury report but is expected to play against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Despite practicing in full all week, White was added to the injury report Saturday due to a knee injury. He was listed as questionable, but a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler stated he’s expected to play.

White has been a key part of the offense from a receiving standpoint. His 354 receiving yards are the second-most among running backs, behind only Christian McCaffrey, and his 41 receptions rank third among running backs behind McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara.

The Bucs have struggled to run the football, and the Colts have struggled to stop the run on the defensive side with Grover Stewart suspended so this should make for an interesting matchup.
