Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals. But HC Todd Bowles said Irving will "probably be on a pitch count" in his first action since Week 4. "Similar to Chris Godwin last week," Bowles added. "We’ll kinda see how he goes, and which RB does what, and then playing time will be dependent on that." Godwin notably played just 36% of Tampa Bay's snaps in his return last week. We'll look for more hints on the Bucs' backfield plans in this one, but Irving is shaping up as a risk/reward Week 13 fantasy play.
