Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving is active for Sunday’s game against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders.

Irving, the reigning NFC Offensive Player of the Week, was listed as questionable for Sunday’s game due to hip and back injuries.

Irving, 22, has team-leading totals in carries (133), rushing yards (732) and rushing touchdowns (six) in 12 games this season. He also has 35 catches for 285 yards.

While Irving is in the lineup, the Buccaneers (6-6) listed the following players as inactive: linebackers K.J. Britt and J.J. Russell, defensive line Earnest Brown, tight end Devin Culp, safety Mike Edwards, cornerback Josh Hayes and edge rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka.

Losers of eight in a row, the Raiders (2-10) will be without running backs Zamir White and Alexander Mattison for the third straight game. Ameer Abdullah and Sincere McCormick are expected to lead the ground attack on Sunday.

Las Vegas also listed cornerback Nate Hobbs, guard Cody Whitehair, tight end Justin Shorter and defensive end Janarius Robinson as inactive.
