Tucker didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session due to a quadriceps injury.
Tucker may have picked up the injury during the Buccaneers' win over the Cowboys last Thursday, when he played seven offensive snaps and logged five carries for 18 yards. He'll have two more chances to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Tampa Bay's next contest against Pittsburgh on Sunday. Even if he's available to play Week 6, Tucker will profile as the Bucs' No. 3 back behind Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell.
Tucker didn't touch the ball in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Vikings.
After playing just one special-teams snap in his Week 2 season debut against the Browns, Tucker played one offensive snap and seven on special teams versus Minnesota. He's well behind both Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell on the backfield depth chart and is little more than a prospective bench stash in fantasy should something happen to Irving or Gainwell.
Tucker (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Tucker was inactive for Bucs' Week 1 loss to the Bengals last Sunday, allowing Bucky Irving to handle clear RB1 duties ahead of Kenny Gainwell. Irving contributed a touchdown, which should help give him a leg up on Tucker in the scoring area after Tucker siphoned some of those looks last season.
Everyone sharing the ball with Sean, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Tucker (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Tucker followed up a DNP on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury with limited sessions both Thursday and Friday before the Buccaneers listed him as doubtful for Week 1 action. Now that Tucker will be in street clothes Sunday, Josh Williams will be the sole active running back behind the team's top duo of Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell. Tucker's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Sept. 20 versus the Browns.

Tucker (undisclosed) didn't practice Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Coach Todd Bowles said Tucker is dealing with a minor injury. It's unclear if it's an issue that will affect his availability for the Bucs' Week 1 game against the Bengals in 11 days. Tucker is expected to handle RB3 duties behind Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell this season. There's a chance Tucker could see some action in short-yardage and goal-line situations. He's an injury away from a substantial role in the Tampa Bay backfield.
Tucker agreed to a one-year contract Sunday with $2.5 million guaranteed to remain with the Buccaneers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Tucker won't be tendered a contract by the Buccaneers as a restricted free agent, so he will become an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins March 11, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.
Tucker led the Buccaneers with seven rushing touchdowns in 2025. Through three NFL regular seasons, he has 151 carries for 651 yards and nine touchdowns. Tucker's unlikely to land a leading role in free agency but could carve out a substantial complementary role in the right landing spot, especially after proving to be an effective red-zone option in 2025.
