ANALYSISIrving has been playing through the hip injury all month and made an early exit Week 14 due to the back injury. He still hasn't missed a game this season, coming back last week to take 15 carries for 117 yards in a 40-17 win over the Chargers.
Rachaad White and
Sean Tucker also got carries in the blowout win, but both padded their stats late in the game, especially Tucker. Prior to the final two drives, Irving took 53 percent of snaps and 17 of the 30 RB touches, which is probably a reasonable expectation for his share of Tampa Bay's backfield in Week 16.
