Overview

  • Rachaad White exited Sunday’s preseason opener against the Titans with a groin injury after six carries for 28 yards and is undergoing further testing with no return timetable announced.
  • Bucky Irving remains listed as the Buccaneers’ starting running back and did not play in the opener, reflecting the coaching staff’s commitment to his lead role.
  • Sean Tucker impressed with 13 carries for 50 yards and a touchdown, earning praise from Todd Bowles as an explosive game breaker who merits more touches.
  • Owen Wright strengthened his roster case by posting 18 carries for 87 yards and a touchdown, showcasing his reliability as an insurance option.
  • Tampa Bay’s coaching staff faces a compressed window before roster cuts and the Sept. 7 opener to finalize a backfield rotation that balances experience and emerging talent.
