Will Bucky Irving play for the Buccaneers against the Chiefs? NFL MNF injury update
The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football at Arrowhead Stadium, with Tampa Bay arriving minus key offensive weapons.
The Buccaneers will be without wide receivers Mike Evans, who’s sidelined for at least this Game, and Chris Godwin, who’s out for the season. This absence is significant, as Evans and Godwin combined for 76 receptions, 911 yards, and 11 touchdowns this season.
Despite the loss of his top targets, Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has kept the offense moving, throwing for 330 yards on 50 dropbacks in last week’s matchup against Atlanta. Known for his fearless approach, Mayfield has been relentless, helping Tampa Bay maintain a high-scoring offense with at least 30 points in five of their seven games this season.
To compensate for the depleted receiving corps, the Buccaneers have leaned on running backs Rashad White, a Kansas City native, and rookie standout Bucky Irving, along with tight end Cade Otton. Otton saw his targets surge last week, recording 10 catches and two touchdowns.
