Bucs to feature Tucker more after White injury

A look at how Sean Tucker could become a bigger part of the Buccaneers offense after Rachaad White's injury.

Bucs must feature Sean Tucker more after White injury

Rachaad White left Saturday’s game against the Titans with a groin injury. Bowles said the injury isn’t fatal and signaled a bigger role for Sean Tucker, who has drawn praise for his balance and burst. Tucker has been part of a backfield that also includes Bucky Irving, and Bowles has already urged the offense to get him more involved.

Tucker rushed 50 times for 308 yards last season, and the Buccaneers now face a practical test of depth and plan. Bowles’ comments suggest a shift in how the team designs its run game to utilize Tucker’s speed and reach. The move could change how opponents defend the Bucs, forcing more focus on inside runs and faster tempo. Look for the play-calling to tilt toward zone runs and quick hitters to leverage Tucker’s burst.

What happens next will reveal if Tucker is ready to be a true difference maker in real games.
