NFL Trade Rumors
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving's shoulder injury is more of an issue than his sprained foot and he’s expected to miss at least two weeks as a result.
According to Schefter, Irving did not report his shoulder injury to the team until Tuesday of last week and it turns out it’s a fairly serious issue.
Irving is out for today’s game against the Seahawks and Schefter says he’s not expected to be back for their Week 6 matchup with the 49ers.
Irving, 22, is a former fourth-round pick by the Buccaneers in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Oregon. He’s in the second year of a four-year, $4,751,552 contract and set to earn a base salary of $960,000 in 2025.
