After an attempted comeback against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost their first game of the 2025 season with a final score of 31-25.
Heading into a new week, the Bucs have been dealt a large list of injuries through four games. The top concern for them heading into their matchup against the Seattle Seahawks is with starting running back Bucky Irving.
Irving, 23, underwent an MRI after Sunday's game that revealed a sprained foot. However, it's been announced that another setback has been revealed.

According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, Bucky Irving was seen on crutches and in a walking boot at Wednesday's practice.
As more news develops, ESPN's Jenna Laine mentioned that the foot injury isn't the only thing the breakout running back is dealing with. He's also picked up a shoulder injury.

The second-year pro out of Oregon is coming off his best game so far this season. He finished with 15 carries for 63 rushing yards, catching all five of his targets for 102 yards and a touchdown, and gave up a fumble in the loss against the Philadelphia Eagles.
If Irving is unable to go, expect head coach Todd Bowles and the Buccaneers to lean on running backs Rachaad White and Sean Tucker to take on the workload as they travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks.
