Just when we thought there would be some good injury news for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, fans were hit with another wave of bummer vibes on Friday.
Despite returning to unpadded practice this week, Bucky Irving has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Irving hasn't played since September when he was injured in the loss to Philadelphia, and it's been a bizarre ride ever since.
He was never formally placed on injured reserve but Irving has now missed about as much time as he would have if he'd been designated for return. We saw that happen with Luke Goedeke, who was injured in Week 2's win over Houston and only returned last Sunday after suffering a foot injury.
