Bucky Irving's Toe Injury Affects Practice

Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving is managing a toe injury that has limited his practice time, as head coach Todd Bowles indicated it may affect him throughout the season. After missing practice earlier in the week, Irving was present for Saturday's session, which raises hopes for his availability in the upcoming game against the Chiefs. Despite the injury, Irving led the team in rushing during the Week 8 loss to the Falcons, showcasing his importance in the offense. However, the coaching staff acknowledges the challenges of his limited practice time, as he needs valuable reps to develop further. If active, he is expected to share backfield duties with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. The Buccaneers' rushing attack has improved significantly this season, now ranking 10th in the league after struggling in previous years.
