Bucs' Bucky Irving Has Foot Sprain With Week 5 Status Uncertain

Todd Bowles says Irving must be out of his walking boot by Friday to have a chance to face Seattle.

Overview

  • Irving was seen Wednesday on crutches and wearing a boot on his left foot during the team walkthrough, per the Tampa Bay Times.
  • ESPN reports he has a left foot sprain that the Buccaneers view as week-to-week rather than a long-term concern.
  • NFL Network says Irving is gathering additional medical opinions, leaving his availability up in the air.
  • An additional shoulder issue has been reported by ESPN, though the foot injury is the primary concern at this stage.
  • If he cannot play against the Seahawks, Rachaad White is expected to lead the backfield with Sean Tucker in a complementary role.
