Irving rushed 17 times for 77 yards and brought in both targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 wild-card loss to the Commanders on Sunday night. Irving once again comfortably outpaced backfield mate Rachaad White, who logged just three total touches (one carry, two receptions). The rookie put together a solid performance that included his seventh tally of over 70 rushing yards in the last nine games. However, Irving was stuffed for a two-yard loss on a third-and-1 play at the Commanders' 12-yard line with 5:32 remaining, forcing the Buccaneers to settle for a field goal instead of extending the drive and possibly scoring a go-ahead touchdown. Irving's productive day came in the wake of a standout rookie season that exceeded expectations, during which he recorded 207 carries for 1,122 yards and eight touchdowns while adding a 47-392 receiving line on 52 targets across 17 games. Irving also turned the ball over just once (two fumbles total) and should head into his second season with a firm grasp on the No. 1 back role.

Irving rushed 17 times for 77 yards and brought in both targets for six yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 wild-card loss to the Commanders on Sunday night.

Irving also turned the ball over just once (two fumbles total) and should head into his second season with a firm grasp on the No. 1 back role.
Irving rushed 19 times for 89 yards and a touchdown and brought in two of five targets for minus-5 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday. Irving once again led the Buccaneers' ground attack on an afternoon when Rachaad White did not log a single touch. The rookie looked good on several signature explosive runs, and he scored what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown on an 11-yard rush with just under two minutes remaining. Irving figures to continue spearheading Tampa Bay's ground attack as the postseason begins for the Bucs during Super Wild Card Weekend.
Irving (shoulder/shin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. Irving took 24 touches for 190 yards in last week's 48-14 win over the Panthers, despite not playing at all in the fourth quarter. He should be busy again with the Bucs needing a win to reach the playoffs (unless Atlanta loses to Carolina in a game that's taking place at the same time).
Irving (shoulder/shin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday. Irving followed up a capped walkthrough Wednesday with a similar amount of on-field work one day later. He hasn't been a stranger to injury reports in his rookie season due to a variety of health concerns, but Irving also hasn't missed a game for any reason. Friday's report will reveal whether or not he enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game versus the Saints.
Irving was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to shoulder and shin injuries. Irving hasn't been a stranger to Buccaneers injury reports in his rookie season, but he's yet to miss a game. With his 113-yard effort on the ground in this past Sunday's win over the Panthers, he reached 1,000 rushing yards on the campaign. Assuming his current health concerns don't hold him back, he'll aim to build upon his 1,420 yards from scrimmage and seven rushing touchdowns in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Saints.
Irving rushed 20 times for 113 yards and secured all four targets for 77 yards in the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday. The rookie back comfortably led the Buccaneers' ground attack, outpacing Rachaad White by 14 carries and 83 rushing yards while also recording three additional catches and 73 receiving yards. Irving eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark on the season with the third 100-yard tally of his nascent career, and his receiving yardage haul, which was largely made possible by his first ever 40-yard-plus catch, was also a new high-water mark. Irving once again shapes up as a must-play in all formats during a Week 18 home regular-season finale against the vulnerable Saints run defense.
Irving rushed 16 times for 68 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Cowboys. Irving got the Buccaneers on the board with a two-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. He had a substantial edge in usage and production over Rachaad White, who had just 10 touches for 61 yards and lost a fumble. While both running backs usually play prominent roles, Irving has emerged as the superior all-around backfield option for the Buccaneers. The standout rookie has 1,240 scrimmage yards and seven rushing touchdowns heading into a Week 17 home game against the Panthers.
Irving (back/hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Irving has been playing through the hip injury all month and made an early exit Week 14 due to the back injury. He still hasn't missed a game this season, coming back last week to take 15 carries for 117 yards in a 40-17 win over the Chargers. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker also got carries in the blowout win, but both padded their stats late in the game, especially Tucker. Prior to the final two drives, Irving took 53 percent of snaps and 17 of the 30 RB touches, which is probably a reasonable expectation for his share of Tampa Bay's backfield in Week 16.
Irving (back/hip) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday. Irving maintained his activity level from Wednesday's session, giving him one more opportunity to get back to full participation before the Buccaneers potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's contest at Dallas. In his last five outings in which he's earned at least a 40 percent snap share, he's averaged 19.0 touches for 124.2 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring three rushing TDs.
