The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have increased their available talent with running backs Rachaad White and Bucky Irving to play in the upcoming Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
White was labeled as questionable going into the week prior due to suffering from food poisoning but fully participated in practice and will carry the load for Tampa Bay on the ground. White did not lose his determination because of his illness, and his physical presence will be paramount if the Bucs look to bounce back from their latest loss.
Bucky Irving was limited during the week due to a hamstring issue and said that he did everything possible to be present at practice sessions. That brings us to Thursday when Irving did not hesitate to tell reporters that he will be ready to play Sunday’s crucial game against the Eagles.
Bucky Irving (hamstring) said he'll play Week 4; doesn't practice Thursday.

Besides its running backs, the Buccaneers will also get defensive tackle Vita Vea back, who has been out since injuring his MCL sprain in the September 15 game against the Detroit Lions. It will be a big plus for Bucs’ defensive line as they will have the services of Vea in countering the might of the Eagles’ offense.
But not all of the injury news is good for Tampa Bay. Luke Goedeke will miss his third straight game after not passing his concussion protocol. The Bucs have struggled to stop the pass rush without Goedeke, allowing 12 sacks in two games. His absence will be further noticed on the offensive line as they try to protect quarterback, Baker Mayfield.
Further changes to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers active roster.
The Buccaneers also promoted wide receiver Sterling Shepard from the practice squad because of the hamstring injury to Jalen McMillan and an ankle injury to Kameron Johnson.
With White and Irving back on the field, the Bucs will seek to build a balanced offense and regain their winning form against the Eagles.
