Bucky Irving Expected to Return in Week 13 After Seven-Game Absence

Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) is expected to return in Week 13 against Arizona, per Adam Schefter, after being ruled out for Week 12. Schefter reported Irving looked strong in practice and could have played Sunday, but the Buccaneers held him out. He will have missed seven contests. Irving was Tampa Bay's clear lead back before his injury, totaling 165 yards from scrimmage (102 receiving, 63 rushing) in his last game. He is expected to regain his lead-back role, though he might be eased in during his first game back.
