Baker Mayfield Officially Active Against Eagles

Baker Mayfield Officially Active Against Eagles

10 months ago

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle, ribs), who was questionable to play in Monday night's wild-card playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, is officially active. Mayfield tweaked his ankle in Week 18 against the Carolina Panthers but was able to practice last week and was fully expected to play in the first round of the playoffs. The 28-year-old is one of the tougher QBs in the league and had the best season of his career in his first year in Tampa, but he's heading into this contest with two straight down performances. Mayfield certainly won't be 100 percent on Monday night, but he has a great chance for a bounce-back performance in the wild-card playoff game against an Eagles defense that has seen a big decline in all aspects after making a Super Bowl run last year.
