Bucky Irving Buccaneers return

Entities: Tampa Bay Buccaneers · Todd Bowles · Bucky Irving

Overview

In late July 2026, running back Bucky Irving announced he was cleared to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ training camp after undergoing shoulder surgery earlier in the year. He reported feeling healthy and expected to be ready for the first practice on July 29, though his workload might be managed behind new back Kenneth Gainwell.

A week later, head coach Todd Bowles confirmed that Irving was fully healthy and at "full speed," showing no limitations during an 11‑on‑11 drill. The coach’s endorsement suggested Irving could resume full contact for the 2026 season.
