Jason Licht Offers Post-Surgery Update On Bucky Irving
February 25th, 2026
Two weeks ago, Joe reported Bucky Irving had offseason shoulder surgery. Interestingly, some media didn’t find that newsworthy and ignored the report.
However, it really happened.
Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht was asked about Irving’s recovery during a visit to the PFT Live/NBC Sports set yesterday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
Licht told host Mike Florio that Irving still has at least a few months to be declared 100 percent ready for the 2026 sason.
“Oh, he’ll definitely be ready for trainining camp; he’ll probably be ready at the tail end of OTAs to do some limited stuff. But all is good there,” Licht said.
Joe is glad Irving is on the right track. Earlier Tuesday, Joe asked Licht about Irving and Licht said he’s at One Buc Palace regularly (presumbably managing his rehab there) and is in good spirits all the time.
