Bucs Set Conservative Timelines for Injured Stars, Eye Late-November/December for Chris Godwin

Rookie production has buoyed 6-2 Tampa Bay despite multiple starters remaining out.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports the team is taking Chris Godwin’s recovery week to week with a likely return in late November or December.
  • Fowler says Bucky Irving’s shoulder remains the bigger issue than his foot, though he could be back before Godwin.
  • Godwin and Irving did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, making a Week 10 return against New England unlikely.
  • Mike Evans remains on injured reserve with a broken collarbone, with initial estimates pointing to a best-case return around Week 15.
  • With Evans, Godwin and Jalen McMillan sidelined, rookie Emeka Egbuka leads the team at 34 receptions for 562 yards and five touchdowns as Tampa Bay enters Week 10 at 6-2.
