Buccaneers Dynamic Running Back Bucky Irving Is Eager to Play After a Tough Time with an Injury
Buccaneers aim to have running back Bucky Irving back in Week 13 after seven missed games due to shoulder and foot injuries, coach Todd Bowles said.
- On Nov. 24, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said the team's plan is for Bucky Irving to return in Week 13 after ramping up reps to reassess his status.
- After suffering injuries in Week 4, Bucky Irving sustained shoulder and foot injuries in the Week 4 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and has missed seven games without being placed on injured reserve.
- While a limited participant in practice ahead of Week 12, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Irving looked strong and later practiced fully after missing seven games.
- With limited depth, Rachaad White remains the top receiver, and Tucker's recent breakout positions him as Irving's main backup in Week 13.
- Irving said not playing was mentally tougher than injuries, leaning on faith and team resources, and Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard said his return should elevate the team.
