Is Baker Mayfield playing today? Buccaneers' QB questionable for Week 4 vs. Eagles image

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a huge game in Week 4.

They take on the Philadelphia Eagles in one of the games of the week.

Both teams enter the contest at 3-0, so it'll amount to a lot of early NFC bragging rights.

And what better way for the Bucs to state their case as a contender than to beat the defending champs?

One concern: QB Baker Mayfield is listed as questionable for the game with a throwing arm issue.

Is Baker Mayfield playing today?

Baker Mayfield is "expected to play" Sunday according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

It's a huge boost for the Bucs, who need their star QB to have a chance to beat the Eagles.

They've also got a lot of positive injury news.

Wide receiver Chris Godwin and left tackle Tristan Wirfs are both expected to make their season debuts after missing the first three weeks due to injury.

One bummer, of course: Mike Evans is out with a hamstring injury. So Godwin doesn't join him but rather replaces him alongside rookie star Emeka Egbuka.

That's still enough talent for the Buccaneers to beat the Eagles.
