Kenny Gainwell is part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 53-man roster, joining fellow running backs Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker, who did not practice Wednesday due to an undisclosed issue, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports.
Gainwell, who signed a two-year, $14 million contract with the Buccaneers in March, previously led the Pittsburgh Steelers with 73 receptions during the 2025 regular season. He is expected to serve primarily in a change-of-pace role, particularly in passing situations, similar to the role Rachaad White held in recent seasons.
Irving is anticipated to lead the Buccaneers' backfield, provided he remains healthy. Additionally, Tucker may pose a challenge for both Gainwell and Irving in fantasy football, especially if he continues his role in the red zone, where he scored a team-high seven rushing touchdowns last season. Further details regarding Tucker's condition and participation were not provided.
