Bucs' Bucky Irving Reveals Key To Attacking Dallas The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a top-five run game, and Bucky Irving tells us why is central to the Sunday night plan at the Dallas Cowboys.
Ready to play Irving (back/hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Irving has been playing through the hip injury all month and made an early exit Week 14 due to the back injury. He still hasn't missed a game this season, coming back last week to take 15 carries for 117 yards in a 40-17 win over the Chargers. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker also got carries in the blowout win, but both padded their stats late in the game, especially Tucker. Prior to the final two drives, Irving took 53 percent of snaps and 17 of the 30 RB touches, which is probably a reasonable expectation for his share of Tampa Bay's backfield Week 16 at Dallas.

Limited Wednesday Irving (back/hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Impact Irving has been playing through a few health concerns for some time now, but he hasn't been inactive yet in his rookie season. He's also recorded two 100-yard efforts on the ground over the last three games, including a 17-touch, 113-yard performance this past Sunday at the Chargers. In the end, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Irving enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest in Dallas.

Valiant effort Sunday Irving (back/hip) rushed 15 times for 117 yards while losing two yards on a pair of receptions in Sunday's 40-17 win over the Chargers.
Impact Irving was truly a game-time decision after suffering injuries to his back and hip in last week's win over the Raiders. The explosive rookie was seen stretching his affected areas on the field leading up to Sunday's kickoff, but he looked crisp in action once play commenced. It was Irving's second 100-yard performance over his last three games, bringing the rookie up to 852 rushing yards on the year. Co-starter Rachaad White also saw 15 carries -- albeit with far less efficiency -- and brought in one of Baker Mayfield's four touchdown passes. Now healthy, Irving has a shot at increasing his national presence in a plus matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 16.

Active in Week 15 Irving (back/hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Impact Irving was only able to get in a limited Friday practice in this past week after exiting the Week 14 win over the Raiders in the first half with his back injury, but the rookie has validated the optimism about his availability that had been expressed over the course of the weekend. Assuming Irving is operating without limitations Sunday, he should retake the lead role in the Buccaneers' backfield after logging 25 carries in his most recent non-injury-shortened game in Week 13 against the Panthers, albeit with backfield mate Rachaad White likely retaining a solid complementary role as well.

Feeling better than last week Irving (back/hip) is feeling much better than last week, even though his status and practice progression appears similar, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.
Impact It's still difficult to trust Irving in a tough road matchup - if you plan on using him, make sure you have a late pivot available, whether it's from one of the five late afternoon games, the Sunday night game or one of the two Monday night games.

Likely to play Sunday vs. LAC Irving (back/hip), who is questionable for Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Chargers, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Irving played a season-low 10 offensive snaps last Sunday in a win over Las Vegas, and head coach Todd Bowles explained after the contest that the rookie's back tightened up during the victory. The Oregon product didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday this week, but he logged a limited session Friday, and it appears that will be enough for him to take the field against Los Angeles. If Irving does indeed suit up Sunday, he'll likely work in a timeshare, as usual, with Rachaad White.

Is Bucky Irving playing this week? Injury update, fantasy outlook for Buccaneers' RB ahead of Week 15 vs. Chargers | Sporting News Canada Bucky Irving injury update and Week 15 outlook ahead of the Buccaneers' matchup with the Chargers
DECEMBER 14 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM
Questionable after limited practice Irving (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers after returning to practice Friday as a limited participant.
Impact The designation was expected after coach Todd Bowles said earlier Friday that Irving will go through a pre-game workout before the Buccaneers decide on his active status. That's not ideal for fantasy managers, especially ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but there are at least more late-afternoon and primetime games than usual this week, which expands the pool of replacement options if Irving is deemed inactive. Rachaad White will lead Tampa Bay's backfield if Irving doesn't play, with Sean Tucker getting some touches off the bench.

Impact Bowles said the team wants to put Irving through a pre-game workout before making a decision on his active status. A 'questionable' designation on the final injury report now seems likely, with fantasy managers potentially headed for a tricky situation ahead of a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Not seen during practice Irving (back/hip) didn't participate in the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Irving worked with a trainer on the field before practice but then went inside once the session started. Auman notes that it's possible Irving returned to practice once it was closed off to reporters, although the more likely outcome is that the running back simply didn't participate. Irving played through a hip injury last week against the Raiders, only to make an early exit in the second quarter due to back tightness. He never returned to the game and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday.
DECEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE
Idle for another practice Irving (back/hip) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Impact Irving will go down as a non-participant for the second straight practice, setting up Friday's session as a critical one in forecasting his odds of playing this Sunday against the Chargers. The rookie began Week 14 in a similar fashion, as he also sat out the Buccaneers' first two practices before returning to the field in a limited capacity Friday. He was listed as questionable prior to suiting up for Sunday's eventual 28-13 win over the Raiders, but he bowed out early after playing just 10 snaps. As a result, Irving might need to put in a full practice Friday for fantasy managers to feel more confident about his health heading into the Buccaneers' Week 15 matchup.

Sits out Wednesday Irving (back/hip) missed Wednesday's walkthrough, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Irving exited late in the first half of this past Sunday's win against the Raiders due to a back injury, which coach Todd Bowles clarified to be tightness one day later, per Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site. Irving will have two more chances to prove his health before the team potentially makes a ruling on his status for Sunday's contest at the Chargers. Rachaad White would stand to benefit if Irving is inhibited or inactive this weekend, while Sean Tucker would bump up in the RB pecking order for Tampa Bay.

Dealing with back tightness Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Irving (back) had his back tighten up during Sunday's 28-13 win against the Raiders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site...
Impact Bowles said Irving's availability Week 15 against the Chargers will depend on whether his back loosens up in time for the road matchup. In the event that Irving isn't able to get right in time to suit up in Los Angeles, Rachaad White will be positioned to lead Tampa Bay's backfield, with Sean Tucker handling the No. 2 role.

Left early Sunday as precaution Irving (back) didn't return to Sunday's 28-13 win against the Raiders as a precaution, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Irving tended to hip and back injuries during Week 14 prep, and even though he suited up Sunday, he ultimately hit the sidelines for good late in the first half due to the latter concern, finishing the contest with four carries for three yards and one catch (on one target) for 15 yards. Meanwhile, fellow RB Rachaad White had 17 rushes for 90 yards and one touchdown and two receptions (on three targets) for 19 yards and another TD, and Sean Tucker racked up 47 yards on three carries. Irving's status will be one to monitor this week as the Buccaneers prepare for next Sunday's visit to the Chargers.
