Status.
Joe wasn’t left feeling very comfortable about Baker Mayfield’s health two days out from Monday night’s wild card round game against the Eagles. [read more]
Wide receiver Chris Godwin.
There was a common theme or a narrative coming out of One Buc Palace this week. And it wasn’t the health of Baker Mayfield. [read more]
Out.
The sorry Bucs pass defense got a littte help this morning. Star Philadelphia receiver A.J. Brown was ruled out for Monday night’s playoff game with the Bucs. This comes from Uber-NFL insider Adam Schefter of BSPN.
Brown suffered a sprained knee Sunday in the Eagles’ regular season finale loss to the Giants. Yesterday it seemed Brown would be able to return.
Brown apparently took the news hard as he scrubbed his Instagram account of anything Eagles-related.
Monday will be Brown’s first game missed since getting traded to the Eagles during the 2022 NFL Draft.

On paper, the Eagles boast superior talent. [read more]

Yesterday, it struck Joe hearing Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales discuss how a potential touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield to Mike Evans was missed last week at Carolina. [read more]
Injury report.
The Bucs now have 3.5 starters on the injury report.
Three practices down, three key starters remain limited for the Bucs. That would be quarterback Baker Mayfield (ribs/ankle), linebacker K.J. Britt (calf) and left tackle Tristan Wirfs (illness).
Joe saw Wirfs in the locker room today and he admitted he’s been pretty sick. Also, Wirfs had a shoulder wrapped up.
The additional starter added to the injury report is wide receiver Chris Godwin. However, it appears he was only given a complete rest day for his his knee.

Throw all the pregame chatter aside. The real question for the Bucs is whether they are willing/ready to show up Monday night as a punishing, physical and focused team.
Collectively, they haven’t been the past two Sundays. [read more]
