Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks due to a sprained foot, the team announced Friday.
Irving is also in danger of missing Tampa Bay's Week 6 contest against the San Francisco 49ers, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
The 23-year-old is reportedly considered week-to-week. He hasn't practiced this week and was spotted using crutches and wearing a boot Wednesday.
Cornerback Jamel Dean, who's battling a hip injury, was also ruled out for Sunday after not practicing all week.
Irving is off to a hot start in 2025, racking up 90 touches for 430 total yards and two touchdowns in four contests. With Irving sidelined, Rachaad White is expected to see an increased workload. Sean Tucker will likely serve as White's backup, and rookie running back Josh Williams is expected to be active Sunday as the No. 3 rusher on the depth chart.
Tampa Bay has dealt with multiple injuries on the offensive side of the ball this year. Chris Godwin and star tackle Tristan Wirfs missed the start of the season due to injuries. Mike Evans is currently sidelined as well and won't play against Seattle due to a hamstring injury.
