Kenny Gainwell rushed five times for 16 yards in the Buccaneers’ Week 9 loss to the Bears, adding three catches for 60 yards.

Most of Gainwell’s yardage came on a 44-yard busted coverage that set up the Bucs’ first score of the game. He found little room in the run game after gashing the Falcons for 140 yards. The 1A/1B talk that head coach Todd Bowles mentioned with Gainwell and Bucky Irving never really came to fruition, as Irving was much more effective with 97 yards on the ground and a pair of scores. Gainwell remains a RB3 going forward, with his next chance to contribute coming in Week 11 against the Lions after their bye.
