Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Rachaad White Day-to-Day with Groin Injury

Rachaad White, the running back for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is currently listed as day-to-day due to a groin injury sustained during the preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans [1][2][3][4]. The injury occurred during a 12-yard run in the first quarter, causing White to exit the game after six carries for 28 yards [1][2][3].

Head coach Todd Bowles has indicated that the injury is not major, and White is expected to make a relatively quick recovery. However, his role may be somewhat diminished with Bucky Irving emerging as the lead running back [1][2][4].

To add depth to their backfield during White's recovery, the Buccaneers have signed former Falcons running back Jase McClellan [4].

As of mid-August 2025, the specific nature or severity of White's groin injury has not been disclosed [1][2][3][4].

Prior to the injury, White had a strong 2024 season, with 1,006 yards from scrimmage (613 rushing, 393 receiving) and nine touchdowns in 16 games [5].

The Buccaneers will play their next preseason game on Saturday at Pittsburgh, marking the second preseason game for the team [6]. The regular season will commence on Sept. 7 against Atlanta [7].

Rachaad White, who is 26 years old, has started 40 games in his career and has a total of 2,084 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns, as well as 165 receptions for 1,232 yards and 11 touchdowns [8].

This information is current as of mid-August 2025, and the situation may evolve as the season approaches [1][2][3][4].
