There may be more than meets the eye with Bucky Irving’s lengthy absence.

The injured Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Irving may not be back any time soon, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported Thursday on an episode of his podcast. Florio further hinted that non-injury reasons may be behind Irving’s absence.

“I’m not sure Bucky Irving is going to be back this weekend based on something that I heard when we were in Philadelphia,” said Florio . “I’ll tell you off-air what I heard. I want to be careful. It just underscores the very real existence of inside information.

“It’s something that probably shouldn’t be out,” Florio added. “But I don’t think he’s going to be back any time soon. It’s definitely more information than what is available on the injury report.”
