Tampa Bay Buccaneers star running back Bucky Irving, hasn't been able to take the field in nearly two months, as he last played in a game on Sept. 28, a tough defeat to the defending Super Bowl champions the Philadelphia Eagles.
Irving has been slow to heal from a shoulder issue that won't allow him to absorb hits, and while this injury was initially, like so many others, holding back the Baker Mayfield led Buccaneers offense from being at its best, the long term reality of the injury may not be bleak at all.
