Overview

  • Head coach Todd Bowles said Baker Mayfield "should be OK" after limited practices for a right biceps issue, and the quarterback resumed throwing late in the week.
  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Mayfield, Chris Godwin and Tristan Wirfs are expected to play, with Godwin and Wirfs set for their 2025 debuts if active.
  • Mike Evans has been ruled out for Week 4 with a hamstring injury and is expected to miss multiple weeks, leaving targets for Godwin and rookie Emeka Egbuka.
  • Depth remains strained with Jalen McMillan sidelined, guard Cody Mauch out for the season, and right tackle Luke Goedeke on injured reserve.
  • The 3-0 Eagles visit the 3-0 Buccaneers on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Raymond James Stadium, televised nationally on FOX, after Tampa Bay opened with three straight fourth-quarter comebacks.
