Buccaneers Running Back Rachaad White Skips Training Due to Groin Issue
Rachaad White, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' third-round pick in 2022, sustained a groin injury during the first quarter of the team's preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans on August 9, 2025.
Before the injury, White had made an impact on the game, rushing six times for 28 yards. However, his injury was initially concerning, causing him to miss some time.
Fortunately, head coach Todd Bowles has confirmed that White is officially day-to-day, with no serious long-term damage[1][2][3][4]. White returned to practice shortly after the injury, although his reps have been limited to allow for recovery[5].
The Bucs' preseason schedule includes games against the Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Buffalo Bills. White's readiness for the Steelers game was uncertain at the time of the injury, and his participation in the preseason finale against the Bills is currently uncertain[1][2].
The regular season for the Buccaneers begins roughly in early September, about three weeks after the preseason opener. Given White’s day-to-day status and returning to practice, he is expected to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, barring setbacks[2].
In his career, White has started 40 out of 50 games. He has rushed for 2,084 yards and 10 TDs, and has caught 165 passes for 1,232 yards and 11 TDs[6]. In the 2024 season, White had 1,006 yards from scrimmage, with 613 yards rushing and 393 yards receiving, scoring 9 touchdowns in 16 games[7].
