RB Bucky Irving, TB (17 Viewers)

[steelwind]

Is he a drop?
10 team league here with 6 bench spots.
*note* I picked him up from waivers for free. Original owner dropped him in week 6. Maybe he knew some insider info!?

So you’re never drafting a Bucs’ player again and you didn’t even draft him?

Sorry your preemptive waiver add didn’t work out immediately.

I had other Bucs players.

The wrong ones lol. Sounds like a you problem and not a Bucs problem? The one I drafted has been killing it.

Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) was seen participating in practice on Wednesday.

Just a walkthrough. No contact. But positive news

 

[The Frankman]

That's a weird progression by the Bucs. The coach announced both he and Chris Godwin were in "rehab mode" in the morning, then all of a sudden they're working out on the side in practice? Odd... but the rehab could be him running on the side I guess.

 

[greenmountaingoat]

I'm a shareholder and I'm sort of prepared for anything. Have Garrett Wilson, Dobbins and Marvin H J on the same team so feeling like the next kick in the sack may be coming attractions.

 

[steelwind]

Let's see how he does tomorrow.
Found this interesting from Bowles that he's been lifting weights. So looks like we are beyond strengthening and the very last ultimate hurdle is taking hits.
I still think he's out this week though.

“He’s going to have to hit at some point. He’s lifting and running. It’s a progression and we’ll see how he does.”

New news?

What's the chance you think he gets meaningful reps Sunday? Im at less than 25%

I'm at about 45%. I could see him starting (though not seeing his usual 70+% workload) and ramping up to seeing closer to a full workload in week 12 if his shoulder reacts fine. Or they could sit him another week.

0% chance he plays this weeks. He hasn't been banged around at all at practice.

Despite logging three straight days of practice, #Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) has been ruled OUT and won’t play Sunday vs the Bills.

Chris Godwin has also been ruled out once again.

Bowles said Irving and Godwin made progress in their first week back at practice, but it's not even a sure thing they'd be ready to play next week against the Rams. Clearly being careful with both before bringing them back.

Starting today they will let him take hits on that shoulder in practice.
Hoping that all the rehab he's been doing has turned it into solid steel.

I want bucky to out there and get some live rounds one way or the other

I dont want him first hitting a game week 15 in the playoffs and one bad hit and he's out, you can't even play him in that circumstance.

According to Ronde Barber, Bucky will miss another game: https://www.joebucsfan.com/2025/11/report-bucky-irving-will-not-play-sunday

Reported to be at practice, though: https://www.rotoballer.com/player-news/bucky-irving-continues-practice-attendance/1760513

Be careful here. Rondé is a radio analyst. He does not, despite what this site says, work for the TB Bucs.
I’m not saying Irving will play. But Rondé throwing out active inactive status without HC Bowles seems sus.

Unless it comes directly from the team, or HC himself, can’t rely on this. Or if Schefter/Rapp reports it.

 

[LawFitz]

Rondé is a radio analyst. He does not, despite what this site says, work for the TB Bucs.

Maybe the Bucs employ the radio crew to broadcast their games?

Either way, as radio voice, Ronde is connected to the team and he indicates emphatically that Bucky's out. That said, we only see this one snippet in that blog post. Maybe Ronde qualified this statement with additional context we aren't seeing; if not, I don't think he'd make such a bold claim without knowing it to be true.

“Bucky is not going to be back on Sunday night football,” Barber said.

Ask Tiki instead

Can anyone clarify what Greg is saying here?

Josh Grizzard said it’s “still early” to think of Irving and Godwin as close enough to be game-planning with specific plays for them in mind, knowing they’re playing.

I mean Ronde isn't even a RB. He's just a lowly CB. Tiki all the way

I think that needs translation before clarification.

It means they’re not coming back anytime soon.

He's not assuming that they are going to be available when he is designing the offensive game plan for this week. It probably means they're not playing or won't be the focus of the offense if they do play.

That all makes sense, it's that last line about "knowing they're playing" that throws me off contrasted vs being "still early" to know they are close enough.

This all just made me wonder if they are playing but not a big part of the gameplan, or still not close enough to be considered viable to return.

Either way, you don't want to start any of them this week, that part sounds clear, but could impact the viablity of someone like White or Tucker IMO.

I have doubts Bucky comes back this week.
I think Tucker's re-breakout has something to do with it.
