Bucky Irving Still Not Back at Practice
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) was unable to take part in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. On Monday, head coach Todd Bowles said that Irving is "not in play" to return for a Monday night matchup against the Detroit Lions in Week 7, so it shouldn't be a surprise that the 23-year-old is out of practice on Thursday. He probably won't return to practice on Friday or Saturday, either. The Bucs could be getting veteran receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) back for the first time since he got hurt in Week 3, but they are also expected to be without pass-catchers Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (leg). It all means that Rachaad White will once again be in play as a volume-based RB2 in fantasy for a third straight week, with Sean Tucker handling backup duties in the backfield. In two games with Irving sidelined, White has 31 carries for 106 yards and three touchdowns while adding seven catches for 51 yards through the air.
