Bucs’ Bucky Irving Under Evaluation With Week 5 Status Uncertain

Tampa Bay awaits medical evaluations to determine the running back’s availability for Sunday in Seattle.

Overview

  • Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport report Irving is seeking additional opinions on an ankle and/or foot issue after Week 4.
  • Todd Bowles flagged Irving as a concern and said multiple players were set for MRIs following the loss to the Eagles.
  • Irving briefly exited after a heavy hit from Jihaad Campbell, then returned to start the second half and finished the game.
  • No one has ruled him out against the Seahawks, though he is sore and his status is described as up in the air as practice resumes.
  • If he cannot play, Rachaad White is expected to lead the backfield with Sean Tucker in support as the Bucs prepare for their road trip.
