Is Bucky Irving playing tonight? Bucs RB's status explored for Week 7 MNF showdown vs. Ravens

Rookie Bucky Irving has earned more playing time in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield as running back Rachaad White has appeared unsteady at the RB1 role.

On Monday Night Football, Irving will try to assist the Buccaneers offense in outgunning the Baltimore Ravens.

Is Bucky Irving playing tonight against the Ravens?

Monday Night Football's Week 7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against the Baltimore Ravens will feature Bucky Irving. Trey Palmer, Mike Evans and Rachaad White were among the offensive players who showed up on the Bucs’ injury list from last week, but Irving did not. This suggests that the RB is not dealing with any injuries that would make him unavailable for the game.

Irving converted 16 touches into 105 yards and a score in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. He will be looking to maintain that level of effectiveness when he suits up against the Ravens tonight.

With White and Sean Tucker competing with Irving for the Bucs' RB1 spot, head coach Todd Bowles said last week that the Bucs offense features a three-headed monster at running back. Offensive coordinator Liam Coen also said that all three players will get a significant amount of action on Monday night against the Ravens.

Following a Week 6 game in which Tucker and Irving rushed for a combined 217 yards, they may see more workload at Raymond James Stadium tonight, especially since White has only just recovered from an injury that kept him out last week.
