Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Full practice Wednesday
Tucker (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Tucker was inactive for Bucs' Week 1 loss to the Bengals last Sunday, allowing Bucky Irving to handle clear RB1 duties ahead of Kenny Gainwell. Irving contributed a touchdown, which should help give him a leg up on Tucker in the scoring area after Tucker siphoned some of those looks last season.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Inactive Sunday
Tucker (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Tucker followed up a DNP on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury with limited sessions both Thursday and Friday before the Buccaneers listed him as doubtful for Week 1 action. Now that Tucker will be in street clothes Sunday, Josh Williams will be the sole active running back behind the team's top duo of Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell. Tucker's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Sept. 20 versus the Browns.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Doubtful for Sunday
Tucker (hamstring) is doubtful for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Tucker returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant and reportedly is practicing again Friday. It sounds like it won't be enough for a Week 1 appearance, but he should have a decent chance to return Week 2.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Practicing again Friday
Tucker (hamstring) is practicing Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Tucker returned to practice Thursday as a limited participant. Another appearance Friday gives him a chance to play Sunday at Cincinnati, though it's unclear if he'll be involved on offense or mostly just handling kick returns.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Upgrades to limited
Tucker (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
With days of signing a new one-year contract with the Buccaneers on Aug. 30, Tucker wasn't practicing due to an undisclosed health concern, which was revealed to be a knee injury when he went down as a DNP on Wednesday's injury report. His ability to mix back into at least individual drills is a positive sign ahead of Sunday's visit to Cincinnati, but Friday's report will unveil whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for that contest.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Dealing with hamstring injury
Tucker (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
The nature of Tucker's injury was previously unknown, but he's dealing with a soft-tissue issue and is looking extremely iffy for Sunday's season opener against the Bengals. If Tucker sits, Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell should soak up all of the backfield touches, with Irving getting a boost near the goal line.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Not present for practice
Tucker (undisclosed) wasn't spotted on the field for the start of Wednesday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
The nature of the injury that has kept Tucker from practicing for the past week won't be known until the Buccaneers post their first injury report of 2026 following Wednesday's session. Earlier in the week, head coach Todd Bowles described Tucker as a likely game-time decision heading into Sunday's season opener versus the Bengals. The reserve running back will likely need to practice in at least a limited fashion by Friday to avoid being ruled out heading into the weekend.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Likely to be GTD for Week 1
Coach Todd Bowles said Monday that Tucker (undisclosed) will likely be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Tucker did not practice Monday, and the exact nature of his injury isn't known, though the Bucs will be required to provide more clarity with Wednesday's first official injury report of the season. If Tucker is unable to go against Cincinnati, Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell should handle most, if not all, of the backfield snaps.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Dealing with minor injury
Tucker (undisclosed) didn't practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Coach Todd Bowles said Tucker is dealing with a minor injury. It's unclear if it's an issue that will affect his availability for the Bucs' Week 1 game against the Bengals in 11 days. Tucker is expected to handle RB3 duties behind Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell this season. There's a chance Tucker could see some action in short-yardage and goal-line situations. He's an injury away from a substantial role in the Tampa Bay backfield.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Agrees to new contract with Bucs
Tucker agreed to a one-year contract Sunday with $2.5 million guaranteed to remain with the Buccaneers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Tucker had been due $3.52 million on a restricted free-agent tender. With a new deal in place, Tucker is set to remain part of a Buccaneers backfield that also includes Bucky Irving and offseason addition Kenny Gainwell. Tucker led the team with seven rushing touchdowns during the 2025 regular season.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Six touches to close out preseason
Tucker rushed five times for 15 yards and secured his only target for minus-1 yard in the Buccaneers' 19-0 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Friday.
Tucker closed out a relatively non-descript preseason with Friday's showing, although it began in promising fashion courtesy of an eight-yard run on Tampa Bay's first play from scrimmage. Tucker almost certainly has the No. 3 running back job sewn up, but he may have an uphill battle for consistent week-to-week touches as long as Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell are healthy in front of him.

Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Garners 23 total yards in preseason win
Tucker rushed four times for 12 yards and brought in both targets for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-16 preseason win over the Jets on Friday.
Neither Bucky Irving nor Kenny Gainwell were active Friday, leaving Tucker as the starting running back. The fourth-year pro gained four yards on his first carry during Tampa Bay's three-and-out opening possession, and he ended up playing on the Buccaneers' first three drives. Tucker recorded a career-high 320 rushing yards and seven touchdowns over 17 regular-season games in 2025, and he projects to remain in a No. 3 running back role and potentially serve as a primary kickoff returner once again in 2026.
