Chris Godwin injury update
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Godwin is not expected to play on Sunday against San Francisco.
“Bucs WR Chris Godwin (fibula) is not expected to play Sunday vs. 49ers, per source,” Fowler reported.
It remains to be seen if Godwin’s injury will be a multi-week issue. Nevertheless, this is yet another blow to a Buccaneers’ wide receiver corps. and offense that is already dealing with multiple injuries.
The Bucs have not gotten Jalen McMillan back, as his injured reserve stint continues.
Adding to that, Mike Evans is in doubt for Week 6 after not practicing Wednesday and Thursday. Evans has already missed two games in a row with a hamstring issue.
As if all that wasn’t enough, running back Bucky Irving is unlikely to play, also.
