Overview
- ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports the Buccaneers expect Chris Godwin to return in late November or December, and he did not practice this week.
- Running back Bucky Irving's shoulder remains a lingering concern, with his status still week-to-week after missing practices post-bye.
- Mike Evans, sidelined by a Week 7 broken collarbone, is on injured reserve with reports indicating he may not play again this season.
- NFL Network previously cited eight weeks as the fastest realistic recovery for Evans, which would point to a potential Week 15 window at best.
- Despite the injuries, Tampa Bay is 6-2 and atop the NFC South, with rookie Emeka Egbuka leading the team at 34 receptions for 562 yards and five touchdowns ahead of Week 10 vs. New England.
