Bucky Irving cleared as fully healthy after shoulder surgery for Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving, who underwent shoulder surgery six months ago, has been declared fully healthy by head coach Todd Bowles. Bowles said Irving is at "full speed" and will not be limited during training camp, and the player thanked the team’s training staff for their role in his recovery.

Irving’s readiness was highlighted during a recent 11‑on‑11 practice when he took a pass and landed hard on his repaired shoulder without issue, reinforcing confidence that he can return to full contact for the 2026 season.
