The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been significantly impacted by injuries in 2025, especially at the running back position. Bucky Irving, a key contributor, has been sidelined for a month due to foot and shoulder injuries, missing the last four games before the bye week. His return date remains uncertain, with no clear timeline provided by the team. Irving was spotted wearing a walking boot and has not participated in practice since Week 5. His injury status is still unclear, and the team is expected to release an update around November 5, ahead of Week 10. Irving had a strong rookie season with 1,122 rushing yards and improved receiving stats this year, but his second season has seen a decline in rushing efficiency. The Buccaneers are eager to get him back to bolster their offense, which has struggled without him. The team’s depth chart includes Rachaad White, Sean Tucker, and Josh Williams at the running back position, with White being a familiar starter. Fans and fantasy managers remain uncertain about his immediate return, but Irving’s presence would provide a much-needed boost to Tampa Bay’s offense as they prepare for upcoming games.
