Mayfield expected to play as Cardinals face Bucs in Week 13

The Arizona Cardinals, struggling with a 3-8 record and recent losses, are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Both teams have been affected by injuries throughout the season, but the Buccaneers appear to be regaining key players.

Baker Mayfield, who sustained a shoulder injury last week, has progressed to full practice and is anticipated to play. Similarly, Marvin Harrison Jr. is expected to return to action after undergoing surgery for appendicitis, having missed the previous two games. Bucky Irving is also slated to return for the Buccaneers, though his playing time may be limited due to ongoing shoulder and foot issues.

Despite dealing with their own injury concerns, including Bam Knight playing through a knee issue, the Cardinals will need to contend with a Buccaneers team that is showing signs of recovery. The final injury reports indicate that most key players, including Mayfield and Harrison Jr., are cleared to play, setting the stage for a competitive matchup.
