Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving has been removed from the team's injury report ahead of their Week 9 matchup, according to USA TODAY Sports. The development signals that Irving is on track to be available for Sunday's game.
The second-year back had been listed on the injury report earlier in the week, but his clearance removes any doubt about his status for the upcoming contest. Irving has emerged as a key contributor in Tampa Bay's backfield this season, sharing carries and seeing significant playing time in the offense.
Fantasy football managers monitoring Irving's situation can now confidently slot him into lineups for Week 9. The Buccaneers' offense continues to rely on a committee approach at running back, with Irving playing a prominent role in both the rushing and passing game.
