  • 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.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Late fumble mars night

    Irving rushed nine times for 44 yards and brought in both targets for 12 yards in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night. He also returned one kickoff for 39 yards and lost a fumble.

    Irving logged one fewer carry than backfield mate Rachaad White, who gained 28 additional rushing yards and also had one more catch on the night. Additionally, Irving had an especially untimely fumble following a seven-yard run with just under three minutes remaining, with Jessie Bates stripping the rookie of the ball as it appeared Tampa Bay could potentially be moving into position to either run out the clock, or at minimum, add three points to a 30-27 lead. Despite the miscue, Irving did have yet another efficient rushing performance, but with White also impressing while averaging over 7.0 yards per carry, it appears to the two will continue in a near-even timeshare during a Week 6 road divisional contest against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 13.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Ready to go in Week 4

    Irving (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Eagles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    The rookie was able to practice on only two occasions during Week 4 prep, and in a limited fashion at that. However, reports earlier Sunday had indicated Irving was in line to play, and his active status now is official. The Oregon product has proven immediately effective at the NFL level while averaging a stellar 6.2 yards per carry over his first three games, but Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports head coach Todd Bowles plans to continue using fellow back Rachaad White, who's also active Sunday after dealing with a bout of food poisoning, and Irving together in much the same way as he has over the first three contests.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Continues impressing in Week 4 win

    Irving rushed 10 times for 49 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

    Irving and backfield mate Rachaad White curiously finished with an identical rushing line, with the key exception that Irving was the only one of the two to find the end zone. The rookie recorded his first NFL touchdown on a one-yard scoring run just past the midway point of the third quarter, and he continued to display a welcome knack for efficiency. Sunday's rushing workload marked a new high for Irving as well, and it will be interesting to see how the ground-game hierarchy shakes out in a Week 5 road battle against the Falcons on Thursday night.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Expected to play Sunday

    Irving (hamstring) is listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Irving managed a limited practice Friday after sitting out Thursday's practice. He faces an Eagles run defense that has allowed 5.2 yards per carry this season, though they were more efficient in Week 3 against the Saints. Teammate Rachaad White (illness) is also questionable but is expected to play as well.

  • Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Status in question for Sunday

    Irving (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Eagles.

    Irving sandwiched a pair of limited practices around a DNP on Thursday due to a hamstring injury this week, leaving his status up in the air heading into the weekend. Through three games to start his career, the rookie fourth-rounder has been a regular in the Buccaneers offense, turning 30 touches into 182 yards from scrimmage. Irving's status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's available he may continue to make inroads in Tampa Bay's backfield, which currently is led by Rachaad White and his 2.1-yards-per-carry average.
