  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Plays complementary role Monday

    Tucker rushed five times for 29 yards and brought in one of two targets for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Ravens on Monday.

    Head coach Todd Bowles had pledged to afford all three of his talented running backs some work Monday night, and he made good on it by even getting Tucker involved in a modest complementary role. The second-year back was solid with his limited opportunities, but backfield mates Rachaad White and Bucky Irving made bigger marks with two receiving touchdowns and a rushing score, respectively. Tucker's workload is the least reliable of the running back room, but he should be able to garner snaps again in a Week 8 home matchup against the Falcons.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Forces way into committee

    Coach Todd Bowles said Thursday that Tucker, Bucky Irving and Rachaad White (foot) will all get playing time in a "hot hand" backfield, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Tucker had been the low man on the totem pole, with only nine snaps on offense and three touches all season before his 192-yard, two-TD explosion in Sunday's 51-27 win over the Saints. In the first half, Bucky Irving took 74 percent of snaps and seven of the 10 RB opportunities, but it was Tucker who had superior production with his three touches being a a 36-yard receiving TD, a 15-yard reception and an 11-yard carry. Tucker then got 13 carries and another target in the second half, including six carries for 64 yards and a TD on the final drive in garbage time. His role grew throughout the game even if the final drive is ignored, and he seemingly did enough to keep a role moving forward. Tucker's Week 7 value, along with Irving's, partially depends on whether White is ready for Monday's game against Baltimore.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Breaks out in No. 2 role

    Tucker rushed 14 times for 136 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 56 yards and another score in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.

    Tucker came into the afternoon with just three total touches on the season, but the second-year back exploded for a team-high rushing yardage total while technically serving as the No. 2 back behind Bucky Irving. A two-time 1,000-yard rusher in college, Tucker first found the end zone on an impressive 36-yard catch and run in the second quarter, and he added the first rushing score of his career via a five-yard run coming out of the two-minute warning. Tucker's explosive showing would theoretically earn him more playing time on many teams, but with Irving and Rachaad White (foot), whose absence Sunday opened the door for Tucker's expanded role, firmly entrenched atop the depth chart, that could prove difficult. However, were White to remain sidelined for a Week 7 home showdown against the Ravens on Monday night, Oct. 21, Tucker would be line for another robust role in that contest.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: In line for expanded role

    Tucker is in line for an expanded role on offense in Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Saints with Rachaad White (foot) inactive for the contest, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Bucky Irving, who's already been working in close to an even timeshare with White at times, will draw the start, but he's yet to log more than 10 carries in a game during his nascent NFL career. Therefore, Tucker, who normally slots in as the No. 3 back on the depth chart, should be in line for his biggest workload of the season as Irving's backup, after only seeing two carries and one target over his first five games. Tucker has worked primarily as a kickoff returner thus far this season and had just 17 touches across 11 regular-season games as a rookie in 2023, but he was a two-time 1,000-yard rusher during his college days at Syracuse.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Limited to kickoff returns in loss

    Tucker returned two kickoffs for 86 yards in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.

    Tucker didn't log any snaps on offense for the first time since Week 2, although he showed well with his pair of opportunities to touch the ball on special teams. The second-year back looks destined to continue as a distant No. 3 option behind the high-usage duo of Rachaad White and Bucky Irving as long as those two versatile options are healthy.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Logs two touches in win

    Tucker rushed once for three yards and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

    Tucker logged a season-high six snaps from scrimmage and logged his first reception of the season in the process. The second-year back continues to play his largest role on special teams, as opportunities behind Rachaad White and Bucky Irving will continue to be scarce as long as the duo is healthy.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Plays minor role in Week 3 loss

    Tucker rushed once for four yards and returned one kickoff for 27 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

    Tucker did log a carry on his only snap from scrimmage, and he put in another 13 plays on special teams. Tucker's cameo on offense at least represented an improvement from a Week 2 win over the Lions in which he did not see the field in that capacity, but the second-year back doesn't seem to have a path to any meaningful playing time as long as Rachaad White and Bucky Irving are healthy.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: No offensive touches in Week 1 win

    Tucker did not log any touches from scrimmage in the Buccaneers' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday, but he returned one kickoff for 22 yards.

    The Buccaneers' No. 3 running back was limited to two snaps from scrimmage and eight on special teams in the comfortable victory. Top two running backs Rachaad White and Bucky Irving monopolized the backfield opportunities in the victory, and that could well continue to be the case as long as the talented duo is healthy. Tucker's returner role could offer some value in deep leagues that factor in related statistics, however.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Strong finish to preseason

    Tucker rushed seven times for 20 yards and brought in his only target for a 27-yard gain in the Buccaneers' 24-14 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday night.

    Tucker led the Buccaneers in carries on the night while checking in second to Bucky Irving in rushing yardage, also making a splash play on his one reception. Tucker didn't enter the game until the final possession of the first half, but he's shown well overall this preseason and should be a relative certainty for a roster spot due to Chase Edmonds (undisclosed) likely being headed to injured reserve to open the campaign.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Continues ascent in preseason loss

    Tucker rushed four times for 32 yards and brought in his only target for one yard in the Buccaneers' 20-7 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday night. He also returned two kickoffs for 55 yards.

    Tucker was the second running back to log a carry behind Bucky Irving, and he outgained his teammate by six yards with two fewer carries. Tucker also was effective as a returner, and with 100 rushing yards on 14 carries through two preseason contests, he appears well on his way to securing the No. 3 running back job over Chase Edmonds (undisclosed).

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Impresses in preseason opener

    Tucker rushed 10 times for 68 yards and brought in both targets for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday.

    Tucker had both the game's longest run (26 yards) and a team-high rushing yardage tally, getting his latest quest for a roster spot off to a noteworthy start. The 2023 undrafted free agent was able to beat the odds a year ago by appearing in 11 regular-season games, although he did not log a touch after Week 3. Tucker offers some explosiveness and is serviceable as a receiver, so he could certainly find his way back on the 53-man with a combination of a strong preseason and the prolonged absence of Chase Edmonds (undisclosed).

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Beats odds as UDFA

    Tucker was active for 11 regular-season games in the 2023 season, rushing 15 times for 23 yards and bringing in both his targets for nine yards.

    Though he wasn't chosen in the 2023 NFL Draft, Tucker parlayed a productive college career at Syracuse that he capped off with consecutive 1,000-yard seasons into a three-year deal with the Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent. After an impressive summer showing, Tucker earned his way onto the 53-man roster. However, Tucker was unsurprisingly used sparingly once the regular season began, as three-down lead back Rachaad White enjoyed good health throughout the campaign. Tucker recorded all his touches from scrimmage in the first three weeks of the season while Chase Edmonds was on injured reserve with a knee injury, and the former logged just one Week 10 snap on offense the rest of the season. Tucker was a healthy inactive from Week 15 through the Buccaneers' two-game postseason run, but as he enters the second season in Tampa Bay, he should have a chance to compete for the No. 2 role. Edmonds is a pending free agent and may not be retained.

  • Buccaneers' Sean Tucker: Suits up, fails to play vs. Packers

    Tucker was active for Sunday's game against the Packers but didn't play any snaps on offense or special teams in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win.

    Tampa Bay made use of just two running backs on the day, with starter Rachaad White playing 81 percent of the snaps and Chase Edmonds taking the field for the remaining 19 percent. With Tampa Bay recently letting Ke'Shawn Vaughn go, Tucker looks secure as the Bucs' No. 3 back, but that role is unlikely to translate into much meaningful playing time or fantasy value while both White and Edmonds are available. For the season, Tucker is averaging a paltry 1.5 yards on 15 carries to go with two catches for nine yards over 11 appearances.
