That was the direct word from Bucs icon Rondé Barber this week. Keep in mind Barber works for the Bucs and just traveled with the team to Buffalo to call the game for the Buccaneers Radio Network.
Barber’s comments came on _The Rondé Barber Show_, a WFLA-TV streaming production.
The segment in which Barber dropped the news led off with Barber’s co-host, JB Biunno, asking Barber to share his inside knowledge on who is and isn’t playing for the Bucs on Sunday. “Bucky is not going to be back on Sunday night football,” Barber said.
Apparently, Irving’s ailing shoulder is not ready to take a hit.
