Overview

  • Star receiver Chris Godwin and left tackle Tristan Wirfs were placed on the active/physically unable to perform list as training camp opened.
  • Bowles said Godwin is moving in the right direction and could potentially be cleared for the Week 1 game against Atlanta, though no firm return date has been set.
  • NFL rules mandate a player starting the season on the PUP list must miss at least the first four regular-season games if not activated earlier.
  • Rookie first-round pick Emeka Egbuka is expected to shoulder extra snaps if Godwin begins the season on the reserve/PUP list.
  • The team is taking a cautious approach to Godwin’s comeback after his October 2024 dislocated ankle, high ankle sprain, fractured fibula and torn deltoid.
