Buccaneers' Chris Godwin and Mike Evans Suffer Major Injuries

Chris Godwin likely out for the season with a dislocated ankle, while Mike Evans faces weeks off due to a hamstring injury.

  • Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin dislocated his ankle in the final minute against the Ravens and will undergo surgery, sidelining him for the rest of the regular season.
  • Mike Evans injured his hamstring during the same game and is expected to miss at least the next three games, impacting Tampa Bay's offensive lineup.
  • Head coach Todd Bowles defended his decision to keep Godwin in the game despite the team's slim chances of winning, citing a lack of available receivers.
  • The NFL is reviewing the tackle by Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith on Godwin for a potential hip-drop violation, which could result in a fine.
  • The Buccaneers, now 4-3, must rely on younger receivers like Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer as they face key upcoming games against division rivals.
