Turns out that Buccaneers RB Bucky Irvingโs shoulder injury, which he did not report to the team until Tuesday last week, is more of an issue than his sprained foot, per sources. Irving is dealing with a shoulder subluxation that is expected to sideline him at least two weeks. Irving will not play today vs. the Seahawks and heโs not expected back for next weekโs game vs. the 49ers, either.
Vikings QB Sam Darnold is unlikely to be franchise tagged ahead of Tuesdayโs 4 pm ET deadline, per league sources.
Minnesota still is interested in working to re-sign Darnold, but it is likely to be without any tag.
