No quarterback has shown the toughness that Baker Mayfield has through the first three games of the NFL season. Baker Mayfield has done everything possible to keep the Bucs undefeated. It might making game winning throws, or what we've some to see, some crazy scrambles that puts Tampa Bay in a better opportunity to put points on the board.
Mayfield's body is beat up. And while he's going to play in Sunday's game against the Eagles, it's important for the Bucs to keep their quarterback as fresh as he can be. Last week during practice he had a sleeve on his. This week the leg sleeve remains but he's also added a sleeve to his right throwing arm in preparation of the game. Tampa Bay's starting quarterback was listed as limited during Wednesday's injury report with a right biceps injury.

It was good to see that left tackle Tristan Wirfs and wide receiver Chris Godwin were practicing to begin the week. It appears that they each have a chance to play for the first time on Sunday. Godwin was a full participant, making it an even better sign.
Some other names to watch are defensive tackle Logan Hall, who did not practice with a groin injury, and Christian Izien, who was out with a quad injury. Hall and Izien both got hurt last game and Izien had to exit early. He's has some tough battles with injury already this season.
