Bucs Expect Bucky Irving to Miss Seahawks Game, Elevate Rachaad White to Lead Role

Tampa Bay will lean on depth at running back, elevating Rachaad White into the lead role.

Overview

  • ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports Irving is not expected to play Sunday and could also miss Week 6 at the 49ers.
  • Irving sustained a foot injury in Week 4 against the Eagles and was later seen in a walking boot with crutches after not practicing this week.
  • Sean Tucker is slated to rotate in behind White and could handle meaningful early-down snaps based on his profile.
  • Rookie Josh Williams is expected to be active as the Buccaneers' third running back, according to Fowler.
  • Recent lineup churn continues for Tampa Bay, with Chris Godwin and Tristan Wirfs returning last week as Mike Evans remains out.
