Bucky Irving - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Quiet in OT loss to Pittsburgh Irving carried the ball 19 times for 46 yards and caught two of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 26-19 overtime loss to the Steelers.

Impact It's the first time this season Irving's failed to reach 50 scrimmage yards in a game, and his longest gain went for just 13 yards. The third-year back remains the top option in the Tampa Bay backfield, however, as Kenny Gainwell saw only three touches in Sunday's loss. Irving will look to bounce back in Week 7 against the Panthers.

Career-best rushing yardage in win Irving rushed 21 times for 165 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of three targets for 10 yards and another score in the Buccaneers' 24-16 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

Impact The early portion of Irving's night offered no hint the third-year back would finish with a new career high in rushing yards, as he repeatedly scuffled for running room throughout most of the first half. However, he did put the Buccaneers' first points on the board with a five-yard touchdown catch on the second play of the second quarter, and he subsequently ripped off a nifty 72-yard scamper that saw him change direction several times within the first 10 yards on the first play of the second half. Irving would go on to cap off the next possession with a one-yard touchdown run, and he sealed Tampa Bay's victory with a 22-yard scamper on the final drive of the night that set up a pair of Jalon Daniels' kneel-downs. Irving's carry total was also a season-high figure, and he's now averaging 5.3 yards per carry heading into a Week 6 home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Modest production with 16 carries Irving rushed 16 times for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Irving was surprisingly held without a single target in the narrow loss, despite rookie quarterback Jaydon Daniels being under center and the third-year running back being a highly trustworthy safety valve out of the backfield. Irving worked hard for his yards on the ground as well, with his longest run of the day going for only seven yards. Irving has yet to eclipse 89 rushing yards in any of his first four games, and with reports Baker Mayfield may be in line for close to a two-month absence due to his thumb injury, the former may have to get accustomed to running against loaded defensive fronts for the foreseeable future.

OCTOBER 4 • SI.COM

Good to go for Sunday Irving (glute) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers, Brianna Dix reports.

Impact After opening the week with consecutive limited practices, Irving's upgrade Friday puts Tampa Bay's lead running back on track to handle his normal role in Week 4. His clean final status removes concern about the glute issue affecting his availability against Green Bay.

Another limited practice Thursday Irving (glute) remained limited at Thursday's practice.

Impact Irving has kicked off Week 4 prep with consecutive limited practice sessions, so he'll probably need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers. The Buccaneers figure to lean heavily on the ground game in the first regular-season start for rookie QB Jalon Daniels against a Packers defense that has given up the third-most rushing yards and six touchdowns to running backs. If Irving can't carry his full workload, Kenny Gainwell and Sean Tucker could be asked to pick up the slack.

Dealing with glute injury Irving was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a glute injury.

Impact Irving missed the final two drives of this past Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings, but coach Todd Bowles downplayed the running back's absence, stating that he won't be on the Buccaneers' Week 4 practice report, per Scott Smith of the team's official site. Instead, Irving has made an appearance on the report, and thus his status will be monitored as the week goes on to ensure that it won't impact his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Packers. Kenny Gainwell and Sean Tucker are the healthy RBs on Tampa Bay's active roster.

Feeling fine after late exit Sunday Head coach Todd Bowles said that Irving won't be included on the Buccaneers' Week 4 injury report, despite missing the final two possessions of Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings,...

Impact Bowles didn't specify why Irving was off the field late in Sunday's contest, but any physical issue the running back might have been dealing with doesn't look like it will prevent him from playing Week 4. Despite logging a season-low 51 percent snap share, Irving still earned 17 touches (15 carries, two receptions) and accounted for 58 yards from scrimmage. He remains locked in as the clear No. 1 option out of the backfield over free-agent pickup Kenny Gainwell, who is averaging just 2.1 yards per carry and 3.7 yards per reception through three games.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Rackes up 17 touches in Week 3 Irving notched 15 carries for 46 yards and two catches (on four targets) for 12 yards during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Irving now has earned at least 15 touches in each of the Buccaneers' first three games of the campaign., but his 58 yards from scrimmage represent a season low to date. In the wake of QB Baker Mayfield dislocating his right throwing thumb late in the contest, it stands to reason that Tampa Bay will rely more on its ground game with undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels likely taking over under center next Sunday against the Packers and potentially beyond that point. In such a scenario, Irving could be poised for more volume, though his efficiency may take a hit due to facing more stacked boxes.
