Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Garners 81 total yards, TD in loss
Bucky Irving rushed 15 times for 55 yards and brought in two of three targets for 26 yards a touchdown in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 24-20 loss to the Saints on Sunday.Irving had elevated expectations heading into the divisional matchup given some of the Saints' troubles defending the run this season, but New Orleans did a reasonably effective job while limiting him to a stingy 23 yards on the 14 carries he logged outside of his game-long 32-yard run. Irving did record his third receiving touchdown of the season on a 24-yard catch and run in the first quarter, helping to salvage his fantasy day. Irving's opportunities on the ground were somewhat capped due to a surprising game script that saw Tampa Bay trailing through more than half of the fourth quarter, but he'll have a good chance to bounce back in a Week 15 home matchup against a vulnerable Falcons run defense on Thursday night.

Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Full practice Thursday
Bucky Irving (shoulder) practiced in full Thursday.One day removed from being limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a lingering shoulder issue, Irving handled all on-field work, indicating he's good to go for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Saints. In his first game action this past Sunday against the Cardinals since Week 4, he handled a 52 percent snap share and turned 19 touches into 81 yards from scrimmage and a rushing TD. Meanwhile, reserve RBs Rachaad White and Sean Tucker combined for five touches for 29 total yards, so this remains Irving's backfield moving forward.

Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Limited listing Wednesday
Bucky Irving (shoulder) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.Making his first appearance since Week 4 this past Sunday against the Cardinals, Irving led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield to the tune of 19 touches for 81 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on a 52 percent snap share. His previous seven-game absence was induced by a subluxation of his left shoulder and a left foot sprain, the former of which is impacting his practice reps to kick off Week 14 prep. Irving will have two more chances to get back to full this week before the team potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Strong showing in return
Bucky Irving rushed 17 times for 61 yards and a touchdown while bringing in both targets for 20 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.Irving notably jumped right back into a true lead-back role in his first game action since Week 4, despite talk during the week he'd see limited snaps. The standout second-year back outpaced both Rachaad White and Sean Tucker by 15 carries, and in addition to his 13-yard scoring run late in the third quarter, he also saw a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter wiped out by a holding penalty. Perhaps just as important as his individual statistics was the fact Irving proved capable of handling a hefty workload immediately, which certainly pleases his fantasy managers heading into a Week 14 home matchup against a vulnerable Saints defense next Sunday.

Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Playing for first time since Week 4
Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.Though he carried a questionable tag into Sunday, Irving will end up being cleared to play, as expected, after he logged a trio of full practices this week. The second-year back will be suiting up for the first time since Week 4, and because of the length of his absence due to a subluxation of his left shoulder as well as a sprained left foot, Irving is expected to be eased back into the mix with a lighter workload than usual. Head coach Todd Bowles hasn't provided any specifics regarding what sort of limitations Irving might be under, so the 23-year-old could carry some risk as a fantasy lineup option for Week 13. Sean Tucker and Rachaad White are still expected to have roles in the game plan, though both could see their snaps scaled back compared to previous weeks now that Irving is back in the fold.

Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Looking likely for Week 13
Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot), who is officially questionable to play Sunday against Arizona, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.If Irving does indeed play, he'll be taking the field for the first time since Week 4. The second-year running back set himself up to suit up this weekend with a trio of full practices Wednesday through Friday, but he won't necessarily get a full workload right off the bat. Schefter notes that Tampa Bay doesn't want to "overdo it with Irving," suggesting that his snap count could be managed to some extent. That said, Irving could still earn enough touches to make a tangible impact in the contest and in fantasy box scores.

Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Deemed questionable, should play
Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Arizona, with the expectation that he'll return to action after logging full practices all week, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.Irving won't necessarily return to his pre-injury role but should at least be back in the mix as a significant part of Tampa Bay's offense. His impressive fantasy production late last season and into this September makes him a viable lineup option in nearly any format despite workload uncertainty in the first game back from a two-month absence. Sean Tucker supplanted Rachaad White as the lead back during that time, potentially setting up a three-headed backfield now that Irving is expected to be active ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Logs full walkthrough
Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) was a full participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.After being listed as limited on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' five previous injury reports, Irving finally was able to log an uncapped session to begin Week 13 prep, seemingly putting him on a path for his first game action since Week 4. He missed the last eight seven games due to a subluxation in his shoulder and a sprained left foot, so he may not take on his normal role as Tampa Bay's lead runner Sunday against the Cardinals. In such a scenario, fellow RBs Sean Tucker and Rachaad White would be available for any snaps and touches that don't go to Irving.

Buccaneers' Bucky Irving: Will practice all week
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) will practice all week and be cleared to suit up Sunday versus the Cardinals if he avoids any setbacks, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.Irving has been listed as a limited participant in five consecutive practices, and it sounds like even if he isn't able to upgrade to full this week, he'll be poised to return to action as long as he holds up well. The health of quarterback Baker Mayfield (left shoulder), who is feared to have suffered an AC joint sprain during Tampa Bay's loss to the Rams in Week 12, is another significant variable looming over the Buccaneers offense. While clarity on Irving's status may not arrive until Friday, Mayfield is undergoing an MRI on Monday, the results of which should be disclosed before long.
