Bucs' Bucky Irving Undergoes MRI, Week 5 Status in Doubt

Tampa Bay awaits test results to gauge the running back's availability for Seattle.

Overview

  • Coach Todd Bowles said Irving is among several players getting MRIs, according to the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud.
  • Irving was shaken up after a hard hit in the loss to the Eagles and returned after missing a few plays.
  • The team has not disclosed results or a timeline, and the first official practice report Wednesday is expected to provide the next update.
  • If he is sidelined, Rachaad White is positioned to handle the lead role, with Sean Tucker in a complementary capacity.
  • The uncertainty follows Irving's breakout Week 4 performance of 165 scrimmage yards, including a 72-yard touchdown, as the Bucs manage other receiver injuries.
