Giovani Bernard (ankle) ‘hopeful’ to play Week 1

Giovani Bernard practiced Thursday and the team “hopes” to have him available for Week 1.

Fantasy Impact: Bernard suffered an ankle injury in the Buccaneers preseason opener.

While it does not sound like he is a lock to play Week 1, Bernard is on track to be able to. He figures to maintain a passing down role out of the backfield.
