Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, left tackle Tristan Wirfs and wide receiver Chris Godwin are active for Sunday’s game against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles.

Mayfield, who has been dealing with a right biceps injury throughout the week, has started every game this season for the Buccaneers (3-0).

That is not the case for Godwin and Wirfs, who will be making their season debuts. Godwin worked his way back from a fractured ankle sustained in a Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens last season, while Wirfs had knee surgery in July.

All three players had been listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.

The return of Godwin should help the Bucs recover from the loss of star receiver Mike Evans, who will be out multiple weeks with a hamstring injury, and tight end Ko Kieft (leg), who was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday.

In addition to Evans and Kieft, defensive lineman C.J. Brewers, safety Christian Izien, cornerback Kindle Vildor and running back Josh Williams are inactive for the Buccaneers.

The Eagles (3-0) listed Sam Howell (third quarterback), wide receiver Xavier Gipson, cornerback Adoree’ Jackson, center/guard Drew Kindall and linebacker Azeez Ojulari as inactive.
