Bucky Irving has been out for six games with foot and shoulder injuries. In his absence the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have relied on Rachaad White and Sean Tucker to shoulder the load.

Irving not being able to contribute to the team because of the injuries put a lot of strain on him mentally as well, possibly lengthening his absence. Now it appears Irving is not only in a better place physically but mentally too.

Tucker and White will lead the backfield for at least one more week, with Irving expected back in week thirteen. Tucker shined in week eleven and could be the lead back again, White is a reliable pass catcher and pass blocker, Irving is likely to be the lead back once he returns.
