Irving (finger) was listed as active Monday in Kansas City, reports Scott Smith of the Buccaneers’ official website.
When Irving appeared on the Buccaneers’ Week 9 injury report on Thursday, coach Todd Bowles told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times that the running back’s toe injury is something the team will have to deal with until the end of the season. Irving went on to log just one limited session (Saturday) and left the weekend listed as questionable for Monday’s game. With his availability now confirmed, he will join forces with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker in the Tampa Bay backfield. When all three players were active in Weeks 7 and 8, Irving converted 18 carries for 67 yards and one touchdown and hit all 10 targets for 94 yards. Meanwhile, White had 27 touches and Tucker was third with nine.
