Overview

  • ESPN reports the questionable trio — Baker Mayfield (right biceps), Chris Godwin (ankle) and Tristan Wirfs (knee) — are expected to be active against Philadelphia, after Todd Bowles said Mayfield "should be OK."
  • Godwin and Wirfs are poised for their first snaps of 2025 following long rehabs, with coaches monitoring workload and heat conditions in Tampa.
  • Mike Evans has been ruled out with a hamstring strain and is expected to miss three to four weeks, leaving rookie Emeka Egbuka as a key target.
  • Tampa Bay is 3-0 with three late game-winning drives, while Mayfield has six touchdowns, no interceptions and league-leading scramble efficiency metrics.
  • Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium on FOX, with the Buccaneers still thin up front after losses of Cody Mauch and Luke Goedeke.
