Bowles Expects Baker Mayfield to Play vs. Eagles After Biceps Scare

Tampa Bay faces Philadelphia with key offensive players uncertain.

Overview

  • Mayfield was limited in practice with a biceps issue but was seen throwing Friday, per beat reporter Greg Auman.
  • Head coach Todd Bowles said Mayfield was limited again and is questionable, adding he believes the quarterback will play Sunday.
  • The Buccaneers continue to navigate significant absences, with Mike Evans out for multiple weeks and Jalen McMillan on injured reserve.
  • Left tackle Tristan Wirfs and wide receiver Chris Godwin are listed as questionable, with Bowles indicating decisions will come closer to kickoff.
  • If Godwin sits, rookie Emeka Egbuka could see elevated targets, and Teddy Bridgewater remains the backup option if Mayfield cannot go.
