Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving Remains Sidelined Wednesday with Foot and Shoulder Injuries

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Head Coach Todd Bowles confirmed that Irving has been able to run but has not yet received clearance for contact, making his availability for this weekend's game against the Patriots unlikely. His continued absence would impact the Buccaneers' backfield dynamics, where RBs Rachaad White and Sean Tucker saw a tighter snap and carry distribution in Week 8.
