Alright, let’s talk about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Just when you thought they might be patching things up with duct tape and hope, they pull some key players out of a hat. Heading into a massive Week 4 clash of the undefeated titans against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Buccaneers are getting some serious firepower back on the field.
Who Will The Buccaneers Have Coming Back?
First up, the man, the myth, the human wall himself, Tristan Wirfs, is officially active. After a summer that sounded more like a medical drama—a knee brace in June, surgery in July, and a recovery that dragged into the season—Wirfs is strapping on his helmet. He practiced all week and is ready to resume his post at left tackle, which is a huge sigh of relief for anyone not wanting to see Baker Mayfield running for his life.
Baker’s Biceps and Godwin’s Grand Return
Speaking of Mayfield, the quarterback is good to go despite a biceps injury that had him limited in practice. Let’s be real, a little biceps tweak isn’t going to stop him from slinging it in a 3-0 showdown. He’s got that dog in him, and today, that dog is barking.
But the biggest news might just be the return of Chris Godwin. After a brutal dislocated ankle cut his 2024 season short in Week 7, he’s finally back. With Mike Evans sidelined by a hamstring issue, Godwin’s return couldn’t be more perfectly timed. It is like a Hollywood script, except with more turf and less subtlety. Mayfield will have Godwin, along with Emeka Egbuka and Sterling Shepard, to target. So, while the Eagles are a juggernaut, the Buccaneers are walking into this fight with some of their best bruisers back in the lineup. This is going to be fun.
