Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Poised to return in Week 13
Share Video
Irving (shoulder/foot), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to return to action Week 13 versus Arizona, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Schefter notes that Irving "looked strong" in practice this week and may have been able to play Sunday, but the Buccaneers ultimately elected to hold him out. Assuming Irving continues to make positive progress in practice during the upcoming week, he should be on track to return to action against the Cardinals and bring an end to an absence that will have spanned seven games. Irving had been Tampa Bay's clear lead back before getting hurt, and he totaled 165 yards from scrimmage (102 receiving, 63 rushing) in the final game prior to his absence. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker have been serviceable in Irving's absence, but Irving should eventually regain the lead-back role once he's closer to 100 percent. However, he could be eased in a bit in his first game back.
