Rachaad White briefly left the game in the first quarter with a groin injury, but came back after only missing a few plays. Irving would be next in line to take advantage if White were to miss time. He's cut into White's rushing workload as it is as White only out-carried Irving 10-7 against the Lions. White had the only running back target, but Tampa Bay ran so few plays it's hard to draw much from this usage. Irving is already playing a decent amount, but would need an injury or official demotion for White to become a top 24 running back. Not much has changed with his role going into Week 3's home matchup with the Broncos.
White briefly left the game in the first quarter with a groin injury, but only missed a few plays. He still managed to lead the Bucs in carries, though he was out-gained by Bucky Irving and even Baker Mayfield. White was only targeted once in the passing game. It was a quiet afternoon for the former third round pick. White will need to get more receiving work to remain viable with Irving breathing down his neck in the backfield. He remains the starting back going into a plus matchup against the Broncos at home in Week 3.
