Bucky Irving - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Back at practice Friday Irving (toe) is participating in Friday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Irving sat out practice both Wednesday and Thursday, so it's encouraging to see him retake the field prior to Week 8 action against the Falcons. Alongside Rachaad White and Sean Tucker, Irving contributed as part of a three-man backfield committee during Monday's loss to the Ravens. If Irving were to miss time, White and Tucker would figure to benefit from increased touches, and with both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) unavailable versus Atlanta, the Buccaneers could lean heavily on the running game.

Sitting out another practice Irving (toe) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Irving has opened Week 8 prep with two straight absences from practices, potentially putting his availability for Sunday's game against the Falcons in peril. The Buccaneers went with a three-man committee at running back in the Week 7 loss to the Ravens, but if Irving ends up sitting out against Atlanta, more snaps and touches would be available for both Rachaad White and Sean Tucker.

Listed as DNP with toe injury Irving (toe) was listed as a non-participated in Wednesday's practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact It's merely an estimate, as the Bucs opened Week 8 with a walk-through practice after losing to the Ravens on Monday. Irving took 12 touches for 77 yards and a TD in the 41-31 loss, playing 36 percent of snaps on offense while splitting playing time with Rachaad White (47 percent snaps, 16 touches) and Sean Tucker (19 percent snaps, six touches).

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

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 night.

Impact 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 was also 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.

Impact 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.

Impact Irving opened the game as the No. 1 back with Rachaad White (foot) 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 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 getting 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 battle against the Saints on Sunday, Oct. 13.

Bucs' Bucky Irving Snubbed From Top Rookie Ranking? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had one of the better rookies in the NFL so far this season.

OCTOBER 1 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact The rookie was only able to practice on two occasions during Week 4 prep, and in limited fashion at that. However, reports earlier Sunday had indicated Irving was in line to play, and his active status is now 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.
