Who Should I Start? Bucky Irving or Quinshon Judkins

Thursday, November 6, 11:55 AM

FOX Sports' Greg Auman reports that Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) is not at Thursday's practice as the team prepares for its home clash with the New England Patriots this weekend. Coming out of the bye, the 23-year-old has yet to participate in practice, which bodes poorly for his potential status in Week 10's contest. If Irving fails to suit up again, backfield mate Rachaad White will continue to lead the rushing attack in a matchup against a staunch New England rush defense, with Sean Tucker retaining a change-of-pace option.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins (shoulder) practiced in full on Wednesday and is not on the Week 10 injury report as the team begins preparing to face the New York Jets on Sunday. Judkins was forced from the Week 8 loss to the New England Patriots early with a shoulder injury, but the 22-year-old Ohio State product benefited from last week's bye. He doesn't come in with an injury status this week and should be all systems go as Cleveland's unquestioned lead back against the 1-7 Jets this weekend. Against a New York defense that just traded away star cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive lineman Quinnen Williams, Judkins will be an absolute must-start in his return. Judkins has looked strong in his first seven NFL games with the Browns, carrying the ball 118 times for 486 yards and five touchdowns while adding 60 receiving yards on 12 receptions.
