Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving has been removed from the team's injury report ahead of their Week 9 matchup, according to USA TODAY Sports. The rookie back had been listed on the report earlier in the week but practiced fully on Friday, clearing the way for him to suit up on Sunday.
Irving, a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Oregon, has emerged as a key contributor in the Buccaneers' backfield this season. His availability provides a boost to Tampa Bay's rushing attack as they prepare for their upcoming opponent.
The Buccaneers enter Week 9 looking to build momentum in the NFC South race. Irving's clean bill of health adds depth to an offense that has relied on a committee approach at running back throughout the early portion of the campaign.
