The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Moach of Bucky Hardy showed clear improvement in his performance on Wednesday, so the door is now open for him in week 11.
Now there is at least some hope that Tampa Bay Buccaneers Bucky Irving can return from injury in Week 11.
According to Rick Stroud of The Tampa Bay Times, Irving will participate in the team's opener on Wednesday, the first practice Irving has seen since suffering a shoulder injury in Week 4.
"Great big BUC news
The Buccaneers will take their first shots of the week on Wednesday, it might be a little more there.
Irving was also included in the BO discussion, but was held back by charity coach Todd Bowles for a long time.
That turns to Irving, who is initially expected to miss practice and play this week.
"Todd Balls says it's a shoulder injury that's keeping Bucky Irving out. He'll have to be able to hit and it doesn't look like he plans to test him this week."
Of course, it does not guarantee that Irving will actually wear some clothes. But, at least, it gives Irving a chance to return this week, but if not, next week seems possible.
If Irving doesn't play, the Bucs could deploy a backfield between Rashad White and Sean Tucker, who have shared the work roughly equally the last two weeks after White dominated before that.
