Will It Be Bucky Irving Time in Bucs vs. Broncos In Week 3?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers improved to 2-0 Sunday with a 20-16 upset win over the Detroit Lions. Tampa Bay had a tough time running the ball against the Lions as the team's leading rusher was quarterback Baker Mayfield with 34 yards.

Running back Rachaad White appeared to suffer a groin injury in the first quarter that caused him to leave the game.

White was fresh from a 100-yard performance against the Washington Commanders and carried the ball 10 times for just 18 yards vs. the Lions. The offensive line struggled to make space for the Bucs run game, but if White is hurt, will the Bucs lean more on rookie Bucky Irving?

Irving didn't do much from a production standpoint either getting seven carries for 22 yards, but he looks a little faster and quicker than White right now.

A big point of emphasis for this team was to run the ball and be a balanced offense, but the Bucs showed on Sunday they can pick up gritty defensive wins when that offense isn't clicking like they did in Week 1.

White eventually did return to the game but didn't gain much from the carries he was given. We will need to hear more about the injury before judgment is made, but Irving is a fresh back and it's cause for controversy in Tampa Bay .
