News

  • Next Gen Stats

    Bucky Irving has generated +140 rushing yards over expected this season, the most by any rookie running back and +60 more than the next closest player (Isaac Guerendo, +80).

    Updated Tue, Dec 24 at 1:16pm
  • Leads backfield in defeat

    Irving rushed 16 times for 68 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Irving got the Buccaneers on the board with a two-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. He had a substantial edge in usage and production over Rachaad White, who had just 10 touches for 61 yards and lost a fumble. While both running backs usually play prominent roles, Irving has emerged as the superior all-around backfield option for the Buccaneers. The standout rookie has 1,240 scrimmage yards and seven rushing touchdowns heading into a Week 17 home game against the Panthers.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Another limited session

    Irving (back/hip) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.

    Analysis: Irving maintained his activity level from Wednesday's session, giving him one more opportunity to get back to full participation before the Buccaneers potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's contest at Dallas. In his last five outings in which he's earned at least a 40 percent snap share, he's averaged 19.0 touches for 124.2 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring three rushing TDs.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Irving (back/hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: 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 in this past Sunday's win over the Chargers. In the end, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Irving enters Sunday's contest in Dallas with a designation.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Active in Week 15

    Irving (back/hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Irving was able to get in only a limited Friday practice 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 Week 13 against the Panthers,…read more

  • Feeling improved, should play

    Irving (back/hip) is feeling much better than last week, even though he remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jay Glazer reported on "Fox NFL Sunday."

    Analysis: Irving was listed as questionable ahead of last Sunday's win over the Raiders and ultimately suited up, but he was limited to just 10 snaps before exiting the game early when his back tightened up. He's followed a similar practice progression this week compared to last, but his condition has reportedly improved. Though Irving should be cleared to play in advance of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he will be difficult to trust in the fantasy playoffs while he faces a tough road matchup.

  • Likely to play Sunday

    Irving (back/hip), who is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: 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 that looks like it may be enough for him to take the field against Los Angeles. If Irving is in fact cleared when the Buccaneers release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's…read more

  • 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.

    Analysis: The designation was expected after coach Todd Bowles said earlier Friday that Irving will go through a pregame 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…read more

  • Potential game-time decision

    Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles suggested Friday that Irving (back/hip) may be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Bowles said the team wants to put Irving through a pregame 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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Idle for another practice

    Irving (back/hip) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Sits out Wednesday

    Irving (back/hip) missed Wednesday's walk-through practice, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Irving exited late in the first half of this past Sunday's win against the Raiders due to a back injury, which head coach Todd Bowles clarified as 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 available in only a limited capacity or inactive this weekend, while Sean…read more

  • 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 reports.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Injures back Sunday

    Irving suffered a back injury during Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Irving tended to hip and back issues during Week 14 prep, and the latter seemingly has been aggravated, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. If he's unable to return, Irving will finish Sunday's contest with four carries for three yards and one catch (on one target) for 15 yards. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker are the healthy RBs on the Buccaneers' active roster.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Irving (hip) is listed as active Sunday against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Irving missed some time last Sunday at Carolina due to a hip injury, but it didn't stop him from racking up 25 carries and three catches for 185 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown. The Buccaneers then contained him to one limited practice (Friday) during Week 14 prep, but despite being questionable for Sunday's game, he's available, per usual, to Tampa Bay's offense. Considering he was banged-up this week, Irving could yield some RB reps to Rachaad White and Sean Tucker on Sunday, but he…read more

    Irving (hip), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Las Vegas, is in line to play, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Irving missed Tampa Bay's first two practices of the week but was able to return as a limited participant Friday. Though he was deemed questionable entering the weekend, the rookie running back looks like he'll be officially cleared to play when Tampa Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Irving is coming off the best game of his career last week against Carolina, as he logged career-high totals of 25 carries for 152 yards along with a rushing touchdown…read more

  • Questionable for Week 14

    Irving (hip) was a limited practice participant Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: A return to practice at the end of the week improves Irving's chances of playing, but the Buccaneers aren't ready to commit to it two days before the game. A 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff is good news for Irving's fantasy managers, leaving plenty of replacement options if he's declared inactive or reports suggest his role will be scaled back. Any lost work for Irving figures to go to Rachaad White and Sean Tucker, with the former in particular making for a strong fantasy start in the event Irving is…read more

    Analysis: Reporters saw Irving at Thursday's practice, but he ultimately was listed as a non-participant for the second straight day. It sounds like he's doing more Friday and has a chance to play this Sunday against Las Vegas.

  • Officially DNP on Thursday

    Irving (hip/back) officially was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Despite a report earlier Thursday from Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that Irving was taking part in practice, the rookie fourth-round pick went down as a DNP for a second day in a row due to hip and back issues. Irving will have another chance Friday to mix into drills, and his listing on the Buccaneers' final Week 14 injury report may shed light into his odds to suit up Sunday versus the Raiders. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker are the healthy running backs on Tampa Bay's active roster.

  • Back at practice Thursday

    Irving (hip/back) was seen participating in the portion of Thursday's practice that was open to the media, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Irving sat out Wednesday's session due to a pair of injuries, but he looks poised to handle at least limited participation in Thursday's practice. The Buccaneers will release their second Week 14 injury report later Thursday, when the extent of Irving's activity will become known. In any case, Irving's ability to resume practicing in some fashion bodes well for his chances of being available Sunday versus the Raiders.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Irving was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to hip and back injuries.

    Analysis: Irving was seen limping as the Buccaneers went to the locker room at halftime this past Sunday at Carolina and was deemed questionable to return at the start of the third quarter. He re-entered the contest and ended up pacing Tampa Bay with 25 carries for 152 yards and one touchdown, while adding three catches (on three targets) for 33 yards. Irving told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times on Monday that he was feeling much better one day removed from the game, but a pair of health concerns are…read more

  • Downplays hip injury

    Irving said Monday that he feels much better after he suffered a hip injury on a kickoff return during Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear if Irving sustained the injury on his 20-yard return at the end of the first half, or when he was back deep on two other occasions Sunday. The Buccaneers never formally ruled Irving out for the contest, but he curiously logged just one touch over the team's final three possessions, despite having run roughshod over the Carolina defense for most of the day. He still finished with a career-best performance, carrying 25 times for 152 yards and a touchdown to go with three catches for…read more

  • Breakout performance in win

    Irving rushed the ball 25 times for 152 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers. He added three catches on three targets for 33 yards.

    Analysis: Irving had secured an increased role in the Tampa Bay offense in recent weeks, but he took over the backfield in Sunday's win. He accounted for 25 of 36 carries by the team's running backs, four of which went for double-digit gains --highlighted by a 43-yard pickup to help set up a field goal late in the fourth quarter. Irving also found the end zone for the third straight game and could be in for some additional big performances down the stretch.

  • Re-enters Sunday's game

    Irving (hip) returned to Sunday's contest in Carolina, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Irving was seen limping to the locker room for halftime and missed roughly the first five minutes of the third quarter, but he'll now have a chance to build upon the 10 touches for 50 yards from scrimmage that he managed in the first half. Aside from Irving, Rachaad White and Sean Tucker also are available to the Buccaneers backfield in Week 13.

    Irving sustained a hip injury during Sunday's game in Carolina.

    Analysis: Per Greg Auman of Fox Sports, Irving was sporting a visible limp as the Buccaneers made their way to the locker room for halftime. Irving's stat line for the first half included nine carries for 32 yards and one catch (on one target) for 18 yards. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker are the other healthy running backs on the active roster.

  • Standout efficiency in win

    Irving rushed 12 times for 87 yards and a touchdown and brought in all six targets for 64 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Irving turned in another signature ultra-efficient performance, gaining 50 more rushing yards than Rachaad White on the same number of carries while finishing with a team-high catch total and second in receiving yards. Irving also recorded his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on a six-yard run just past the halfway point of the second quarter, and both of his yardage totals represented new career highs. Irving should have a strong chance to put together a successful encore when he takes…read more

  • Impressive rushing day in loss

    Irving rushed 13 times for 73 yards and a touchdown and secured all three targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

    Analysis: Irving outpaced Rachaad White by three carries and 42 rushing yards while adding his fourth rushing TD of the season on a 12-yard run early in the fourth quarter. Irving's carry total was the second highest of his young career, and he now has six straight games with multiple receptions. The 2024 fourth-round pick should enjoy a solid complementary role at minimum in a Week 12 road matchup against the Giants following a Week 11 bye.

  • Cleared to play Sunday

    Irving (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against San Francisco, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Irving has been playing through the injury for weeks, with Bucs coach Todd Bowles revealing that it's a recurring problem that dates back to college. It doesn't seem to have impacted the rookie much during games, and he did more in practice this week after managing just one limited session the week before.

  • Limited again Thursday

    Irving (toe) was limited at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Irving managed just one capped session last week due to a toe injury before suiting up Monday at Kansas City, so he appears to be in a better spot this week with a pair of them in two attempts. Friday's practice report may give a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday against the 49ers, and if he's able to do so, he'll continue to split RB reps with Rachaad White, while Sean Tucker gets a few scraps.

    Irving (toe) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.

    Analysis: Last Thursday, head coach Todd Bowles revealed that Irving was dealing with a toe injury that may linger for the rest of the season, but the running back was able to suit up for Monday's overtime loss to Kansas City and turned his 10 touches into 34 yards from scrimmage. Meanwhile, backfield mate Rachaad White had six touches for 35 total yards and one rushing score, and Sean Tucker gained 17 yards on four touches. A similar breakdown for the trio likely will be the weekly reality as long as…read more

  • Nets 80 all-purpose yards in loss

    Irving rushed seven times for 24 yards and secured all three targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night. He also returned one kickoff for 46 yards.

    Analysis: Irving led the Buccaneers in rush attempts and rushing yards, with backfield mates Rachaad White and Sean Tucker recording just three carries apiece. The rookie also was just as involved as White in the passing game and looked good on his one kickoff return, and his versatile usage once again was a testament to the team's focus on getting the ball in his hands. Irving now has five straight games with multiple receptions, but the unpredictable division of labor in Tampa Bay's ground attack and a…read more

Irving proceeded to log only one limited session (Saturday) and left the weekend listed as questionable for Monday's game.

    Analysis: On Thursday, head coach Todd Bowles told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that the toe issue is something Irving will have to manage for the rest of the season, but unless the injury worsens, the rookie running back isn't expected to miss time because of it. Irving is still likely to have his reps capped during practices in the weeks to come, which could result in him carrying questionable designations into future games. Irving should be formally cleared to play in Kansas City when the…read more

  • Status in question for Monday

    Irving (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Kansas City.

    Analysis: On Thursday, head coach Todd Bowles revealed that Irving was tending to a toe injury that may linger for the rest of the campaign. After not practicing Thursday or Friday, Irving returned in a limited capacity Saturday and now has a chance to be available for Week 9 action. Assuming he's able to suit up, Irving will have to contend with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker for touches out of the Buccaneers backfield.

  • At practice Saturday

    Irving (toe) was present for practice Saturday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Irving missed practice Thursday and Friday as he continues to manage a toe issue, but his presence for Saturday's session bodes well for his availability for Monday night's game against the Chiefs. The Buccaneers' upcoming practice report will relay whether or not the running back carries a Week 9 injury designation.

  • Missing from practice Friday

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

    Analysis: The rookie running back will sit out a second straight practice while he continues to manage a toe issue that head coach Todd Bowles said Thursday might bother Irving for the remainder of the season. Though Irving's practice time could be affected in the ensuing weeks as a result of the injury, the Buccaneers aren't yet anticipating that he'll have to miss any games because of it. Irving will still likely need to practice in at least a limited fashion to boost his odds of playing Monday in…read more

  • Toe injury may linger all season

    Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Thursday that Irving (toe) may not practice until closer to the end of Week 9 preparations and that he'll likely have to deal with his toe injury all season, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Irving played this past weekend after logging a DNP-DNP-LP practice pattern, and Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports that a similar ramp-up regimen will likely be employed in advance of Monday's matchup against the Chiefs. It wouldn't ultimately be surprising to see Irving regularly practice in such a capacity throughout the season, given Bowles' comments. During Week 8's loss to the Falcons, Irvin rushed nine times for 44 yards and brought in all seven targets for 40 yards,…read more

  • Garners 84 total yards in loss

    Irving (toe) rushed nine times for 44 yards and brought in all seven targets for 40 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Irving overcame his questionable designation due to a toe injury to post a team-high rushing yardage total and also established a new career high in receptions. The rookie has also now logged at least nine carries in six consecutive contests, which, when combined with his relatively reliable pass-catching role, affords him a solid fantasy floor despite the timeshare with Rachaad White. Irving should be in even better health for a Week 9 road showdown against the Chiefs on Monday night, Nov. 4.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Irving (toe) is listed as active Sunday against the Falcons, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick thus will be available as part of a three-pronged backfield along with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. Through seven contests this season, Irving is averaging 67.9 yards from scrimmage per game and has scored three rushing touchdowns.

  • Expected to play Week 8

    Irving (toe), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Atlanta, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Irving sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before turning in a limited practice Friday, which appears to be enough for him to take the field against the Falcons. The rookie running back is officially questionable for the contest, though head coach Todd Bowles has expressed optimism this week that Irving will be able to suit up. If he does indeed play, Irving is expected to be part of a three-man committee in Tampa Bay's backfield along with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker.

  • Questionable, but likely to play

    Irving (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, but Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that the running back is likely to play Week 8, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: After he was listed as a non-participant on practice reports issued Wednesday and Thursday, Irving helped assuage some of the concern about his health by practicing Friday as a limited participant. Bowles also allayed some more fears about Irving's injury, noting that the rookie isn't dealing with turf toe and should be good to go for Sunday, "barring anything happening." Official word on his status should arrive when Tampa Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET…read more

  • Back at practice Friday

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

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Sitting out another practice

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

    Analysis: 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 team's 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.

  • Misses practice with toe injury

    Irving was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a toe injury, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Buccaneer opened Week 8 prep with a walk-through practice after losing to the Ravens on Monday, but Irving would have had his reps capped had Tampa Bay held a traditional practice. Irving took 12 touches for 77 yards and a touchdown in the 41-31 loss to Baltimore, 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).

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

    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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

However, reports earlier Sunday had indicated Irving was in line to play, and his active status now is official.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: 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 was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.

    Analysis: Irving displayed no sign of being limited by injury in Tampa Bay's 26-7 loss to Denver on Sunday, when he took nine carries for 70 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards while playing 32 percent of the snaps on offense. Rachaad White took more than twice as many snaps (73 percent) but received three fewer carries and one fewer touch than Irving, adding more fuel to speculation that the rookie may eventually take over as Tampa Bay's lead back.

  • Outshines White in loss

    Irving rushed nine times for 70 yards and brought in all three targets for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 27 yards.

    Analysis: Irving outdid backfield mate Rachaad White on the ground by a comfortable margin, with the latter mustering only 17 yards on six carries. Irving displayed some shiftiness and quickness during his game-long 32-yard run, traits that White hasn't displayed on any run yet through three games.

  • Contained in Week 2 win

    Irving rushed seven times for 22 yards and wasn't targeted during the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: Irving saw just over half (17) of backfield mate Rachaad White's (groin) 33 snaps from scrimmage, but the latter missed a handful of plays in the first half due to his injury. Irving already seems to be locked into a reliable complementary role at minimum, and there's certainly a possibility his participation expands during a Week 3 home matchup against the Broncos if White is limited in any way.

    Irving ran the ball nine times for 62 yards and caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.

    Analysis: Irving outperformed starter Rachaad White (15/31/0) on the ground, but the inverse could be said for their production as pass catchers. It was a strong start for the rookie fourth-round selection, as he will continue to be mixed in the offense as the season rolls along. Irving could be worth a look in deeper formats in the short term as the Buccaneers head into a Week 2 matchup against the Lions.

    Analysis: The rookie had drawn the start in the first two preseason games, but Rachaad White saw his first and only action of the exhibition slate Friday and was the first running back in. Irving checked in on the second possession and put together another solid performance relative to opportunity, and he appears set to start the regular season as the clear-cut No. 2 back behind White.

    Analysis: The rookie drew another start with Rachaad White sitting out, and Irving was able to deliver a solid performance with a team-high number of carries. Irving has handled himself well over his first two preseason games and remains on track to serve as the primary complement alongside White, who should enjoy a robust role within new coordinator Liam Coen's offense.

    Analysis: Irving drew the start due to Rachaad White being held out, and the rookie responded with an impressive showing in his first taste of NFL on-field action. The Oregon product also capped off the Buccaneers' only scoring drive of the first half with a five-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter.

  • Tailor-made for new run scheme

    Irving, who the Buccaneers selected in the fourth round out of Oregon in the 2024 NFL Draft, has looked like an ideal fit for the versatile run scheme within new offensive coordinator Liam Coen's system, Brianna Dix of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie surpassed the 1,000-yard mark on the ground in each of his last two seasons with the Ducks, making him quite the potential value pick in the fourth round. In his first pro season, Irving is expected to fill a solid complementary role alongside Rachaad White, who he boasts a very similar skill set to, albeit at a slighter frame of 5-foot-10, 195 pounds. Irving also is very familiar with many of the run concepts in Coen's scheme from his college days, and Dix notes the rookie has…read more
