Garners 81 total yards, TD in loss Irving rushed 15 times for 55 yards and brought in two of three targets for 26 yards a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Impact Irving had elevated expectations heading into the divisional matchup given some of the Saints' troubles defending the run this season, but New Orleans did a reasonably effective job against him while limiting him to a stingy 23 yards on the 14 carries he logged outside of his game-long 32-yard run. Irving did record his third receiving touchdown of the season on a 24-yard catch and run in the first quarter, helping to salvage his fantasy day. Irving's opportunities on the ground were somewhat capped due to a surprising game script that saw Tampa Bay trailing through more than half of the fourth quarter, but he'll have a good chance to bounce back in a Week 15 home matchup against a vulnerable Falcons run defense on Thursday night.

Full practice Thursday Irving (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday.
Impact One day removed from being limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a lingering shoulder issue, Irving handled all on-field work, indicating he's good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Saints. In his first game action this past Sunday against the Cardinals since Week 4, he handled a 52 percent snap share and turned 19 touches into 81 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD. Meanwhile, reserve RBs Rachaad White and Sean Tucker combined for five touches for 29 total yards, so this remains Irving's backfield moving forward.

Limited listing Wednesday Irving (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.
Impact Making his first appearance since Week 4 this past Sunday against the Cardinals, Irving led the Buccaneers backfield to the tune of 19 touches for 81 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on a 52 percent snap share. His previous seven-game absence was induced by a subluxation of his left shoulder and a left foot sprain, the former of which is impacting his practice reps to kick off Week 14 prep. Irving will have two more chances to get back to full this week before the team potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Strong showing in return Irving rushed 17 times for 61 yards and a touchdown while bringing in both targets for 20 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Impact Irving notably jumped right back into a true lead-back role in his first game action since Week 4, despite talk during the week he'd see limited snaps. The standout second-year back outpaced both Rachaad White and Sean Tucker by 15 carries, and in addition to his 13-yard scoring run late in the third quarter, he also saw a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter wiped out by a holding penalty. Perhaps just as important as his individual statistics was the fact Irving proved capable of handling a hefty workload immediately, which certainly pleases his fantasy managers heading into a Week 14 home matchup against a vulnerable Saints defense next Sunday.
