It’s too early to get our hopes up, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers received some excellent news on Wednesday.
Bucky Irving has been sidelined since September with ankle and shoulder injuries, a situation that has taken a key piece of the Bucs' offense off the board for a large chunk of the season. It’s been reported that the ankle injury has since healed, and it’s been the shoulder injury keeping him on the sidelines. Head coach Todd Bowles confirmed those reports on Monday, saying they still need to see him take a hit.
Irving wasn’t able to take a hit at Wednesday’s walk-through practice, but he did make his much-anticipated return to the offense, per multiple media reports, including BucsGamedays, River Wells.
