Bucky Irving

Irving rushed 16 times for 60 yards and brought in one of three targets for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 29-28 loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

Irving also caught one of his three targets and picked up 11 yards. The 23-year-old had some decent runs, but outside of a 16-yard burst he wasn't able to get into the Atlanta secondary, and he saw Sean Tucker vulture a touchdown from him early in the contest. Irving should see a similar amount of touches in Week 16 against the Panthers.

Irving has been playing through the same shoulder injury since returning in Week 13, which may become the norm for the remainder of the season. The team listing him as a full participant on Monday's report is a good sign for his Week 15 availability against the Falcons.
