Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the team announced Saturday.

Mayfield, who's battling ankle and rib injuries, missed practice Thursday but was a limited participant Friday and Saturday.

The 28-year-old has been dealing with his rib injury for multiple weeks but has yet to miss time this season. Tampa Bay added his ankle ailment to the injury report following a win over the Carolina Panthers that helped the 9-8 Bucs clinch the NFC South title last week.

Mayfield joined the Buccaneers during the 2023 offseason and has revived his career after playing for three different teams in 2021 and 2022 combined. He completed 64.3% of his passes this past regular season while tossing career highs with 4,044 yards and 28 touchdowns against 10 interceptions.

The former No. 1 pick is 1-1 in his career in the postseason, with both of his playoff appearances coming during the 2020 campaign.

Tampa Bay's quarterback depth chart also features Kyle Trask and John Wolford.

The Eagles have been dealing with their own injury issues as they ruled out star receiver A.J. Brown ahead of Monday's wild-card matchup.
