Overview
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Bucky Irving is expected to return next Sunday in Week 13 against the Cardinals.
- He will miss Week 12 versus the Rams after showing well in practice this week.
- Irving has been out since Week 4 with shoulder and foot injuries and was not placed on injured reserve.
- The team opted for an extra week before activating him, aligning with its contact-based clearance approach.
- Mike Evans remains on injured reserve with a broken clavicle and, though eligible after Week 12, his six-to-eight-week timeline suggests a more realistic return starting Week 14.
