Bucky Irving Out For Week 10

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. It sounds like the shoulder is the bigger issue than the foot at this point. Irving has resumed running but has not been cleared for contact, according to HC Todd Bowles. Consider Irving uncertain for Week 11. His absence again leaves the backfield to Rachaad White and Sean Tucker. We saw Tucker pull nearly even with White in carries in Tampa Bay's last game (13 to 12). But that came in an easy win over the Saints. Sunday's game vs. the Patriots should be tighter. And New England is much tougher against the run than the pass, which sets up better for White. See where both guys land in the Week 10 RB rankings.
