Buccaneers' Chris Godwin Returns, Active to Start vs. Rams in Week 12

Tampa Bay will limit his workload in his first game since Oct. 5 after a hairline fibula fracture.

Overview

The Buccaneers' inactive list confirmed Godwin is active for the first time since Week 5 and slated to start alongside Emeka Egbuka and Sterling Shepard.
He logged a full practice Thursday and a limited session Friday before being listed as questionable, with multiple national reports signaling he was expected to play.
ESPN reporting indicated the team will manage his snaps, suggesting a controlled return rather than a full workload.
Mike Evans remains on injured reserve with a clavicle injury, increasing the significance of Godwin’s availability in the passing game.
Fantasy guidance characterized him as a low-end or flex option given the anticipated snap count and his limited season output of six receptions for 52 yards.
