Todd Bowles discusses getting Sean Tucker more carries for Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles addressed the need for running back Sean Tucker to receive more opportunities in the upcoming matchup against the Green Bay Packers on October 1, 2026. Tucker has yet to record a carry this season after missing the opener due to a hamstring injury. Bowles indicated that the coaching staff has discussed the necessity of involving Tucker in the running game, particularly with quarterback Baker Mayfield sidelined due to a thumb injury. The Buccaneers are currently 0-3, and integrating Tucker could help alleviate pressure on rookie quarterback Jalon Daniels as he makes his first NFL start.
