Izien (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

The 25-year-old from Rutgers was unable to practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to a quadriceps injury, so it's no surprise he'll be unavailable Sunday. Expect Kaevon Merriweather to serve as Tampa Bay's top reserve safety while Izien is sidelined in Week 4.

Mayfield (biceps) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, but he's trending in the right direction to play, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

After missing Wednesday's practice, Mayfield returned Thursday but wasn't seen throwing passes. He took that step Friday and apparently made it through practice without a major setback, putting him on the right side of 'questionable' ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

He didn't practice this week and is expected to miss multiple games, but the Buccaneers waited until Friday to publicly rule out Evans for this Sunday's game. Fellow Tampa Bay wideout Chris Godwin (hamstring) is listed as questionable, potentially giving the team a quality replacement for Evans in the starting lineup, though Godwin's explosiveness and workload may both be somewhat limited initially.

The Buccaneers are listing Godwin (ankle) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

The designation was expected once Godwin upgraded to full practice participation Wednesday. He sat out Thursday for maintenance, before returning Friday, with Auman now suggesting that the wideout appears on track for his season debut. Meanwhile, teammate Mike Evans (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 4 and could miss additional time.

Tracy (shoulder) isn't practicing Friday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Tracy hasn't practiced since making an early exit from a Week 3 loss to Kansas City. Rookie Cam Skattebo figures to lead the Giants backfield again this Sunday against the Chargers, with Devin Singletary easing into the No. 2 role.

Pierce (concussion) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Pierce didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so the wideout appears to be trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Rams. If Pierce is ruled out for the contest, added Week 4 snaps alongside Michael Pittman and Josh Downs would be available for Adonai Mitchell.

Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Friday that Belton (ankle) won't be available for Sunday night's matchup against the Cowboys, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The 2025 second-round pick from NC State sustained an ankle injury during Wednesday's practice and logged a DNP on Thursday, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined in Week 4. LaFleur noted that he doesn't believe it's a long-term issue, so Belton could return as soon as the Packers' Week 6 matchup against the Bengals.

Jackson (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Jackson was the Vikings' first-round pick in the 2025 Draft and has started each of the first three games at left guard. Blake Brandel figures to join the starting lineup in place of Jackson.

Yurosek (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

The rookie tight end has logged 27 offensive snaps and another 39 on special teams through three games. He's yet to draw a target.

Van Ginkel (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Van Ginkel won't take the field in Dublin and will miss his second game of the season. The 30-year-old has been limited to just eight defensive snaps since Week 1. However, on those eight snaps last week against Cincinnati, Van Ginkel recorded a pair of sacks. Dallas Turner will likely continue to see heavy playing time opposite Jonathan Greenard.
