Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has a biceps injury. Per the letter of the injury report, he’s “limited” in practice.

It sounds as if the limits include actually practicing.

Via Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times , Mayfield is taking “ mental reps ” in preparation for Sunday’s showdown with the Eagles.

“He’s in all, of course, all the meetings, all the walk-throughs and he does such a good job of preparing already, a lot like what Teddy [Bridgewater] was doing,” offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard told reporters on Thursday, via Stroud.

Surely, Mayfield will be playing. But his preparation is being impacted.

On Sunday, the 3-0 Bucs host the 3-0 Eagles in a battle of unbeaten teams. And the Bucs are 1-3 against the Eagles over the last four games in Tampa.
