  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Solid performance in loss

    Irving rushed nine times for 23 yards with a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 54 yards in the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Ravens on Monday.

    Irving logged one fewer carry than Rachaad White but four more than Sean Tucker as head coach Todd Bowles held true to his pledge to give all three backs opportunities. Irving was the only one of the trio to cross the goal line as a runner, recording his third rushing TD of the season from one yard out with just under four minutes remaining. Irving's work as a pass catcher also was encouraging, as he established a new career high in receiving yards. All three backs could be involved again in a Week 8 home matchup against the Falcons, especially with Chris Godwin (ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) very likely to sit out after suffering in-game injuries Monday night.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: To share work with Tucker and White

    Coach Todd Bowles said Thursday that Irving, Sean Tucker and Rachaad White (foot) will all get playing time once White is healthy, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    White's Week 6 absence opened the door for Irving's first career start, and while the rookie responded with 105 total yards and a touchdown on 64 percent snap share, it was ultimately Tucker who stole the show with 192 yards and two scores on 38 percent of snaps. White is probably still the best option on passing downs, which mean he's unlikely to be phased out entirely once he recovers from his foot injury. Bowles used the term "hot hand" to describe his coaching staff's plan for the backfield, making it difficult to set fantasy expectations for any of the players involved. A Week 7 matchup with Baltimore's stout run defense further complicates things, although it may only be a two-man backfield come Monday, depending on how White progresses the next few days.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Strong showing as lead back

    Irving rushed 14 times for 81 yards and a touchdown and secured both targets for 24 yards in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 44 yards.

    Irving opened the game as the No. 1 back due to Rachaad White (foot) being inactive, and although he was ultimately outshined by a stellar performance from backfield mate Sean Tucker, the rookie still turned in a productive performance. Irving's carry and yardage totals were a career high, and he recorded his second touchdown of the season on a one-yard run in the fourth quarter. Irving will be in line to share backfield duties with either Tucker or White again in a Week 7 home matchup against the Ravens on Monday night, Oct. 21.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Likely starting with White out

    Irving is slated to be the Buccaneers' primary running back Sunday at New Orleans with Rachaad White (foot) inactive, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    This was more or less expected when Tampa Bay listed White as doubtful for Week 6 action on Friday's injury report. With White out of the picture for at least one game, Irving will man the backfield and could be in line for a breakout performance considering the rookie fourth-rounder has averaged 5.6 yards on his 44 carries through five contests in his career to date. Sean Tucker and practice-squad call-up D.J. Williams are on hand for any RB reps that don't go to Irving.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: First career start imminent

    Irving is in line to lead the Buccaneers backfield Sunday at New Orleans with Rachaad White (foot) listed as doubtful for the contest, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    White managed just one limited session (Wednesday) this week as he tends to a foot injury, and while coach Todd Bowles called him a game-time decision Friday, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports, White's ensuing listing indicates he's trending toward inactive status. The Buccaneers have a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, so the situation should receive clarity about 90 minutes prior. Assuming White is included among the team's inactives, Irving would be slated for his first career start and a majority share of snaps out of Tampa Bay's backfield. In five games to date, Irving has averaged 5.6 yards on his 44 carries, hauled in eight of 10 targets for 46 yards and scored one rushing touchdown.
