Bucky Irving "Still Gathering Medical Opinions," Not Ruled Out for Week 5
Bucky Irving (ankle/foot) is "still gathering medical opinions on what's being termed an ankle and/or foot injury," according to Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Garafolo notes that "no one has ruled Irving out" for the team's Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks, but Irving is "sore" and his status is "up in the air." The 23-year-old has recorded 430 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 90 total touches through his first four games of 2025. If Irving were to miss time, veteran Buccaneers running back Rachaad White would likely see a significant workload increase. White has logged 142 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 31 total touches so far this season. Third-year running back Sean Tucker could see an increase in touches as well. Tucker has been efficient (career 5.0 yards per carry) in a limited sample over the course of his career. If Irving is facing an extended absence, Tucker would be worth a roster spot in deep fantasy leagues.
