Overview

  • Godwin practiced Thursday for the first time this season in a limited capacity, which coach Todd Bowles confirmed after noting he looked good.
  • Bowles said Godwin must clear numerous evaluations before game action, with the plan calling for two practices this week as part of the ramp‑up.
  • Multiple reports indicate Tampa Bay is hopeful for a Week 5 debut, with Week 6 still possible, and Week 2 viewed as unlikely.
  • Left tackle Tristan Wirfs also returned to limited practice as he rehabs from July knee surgery, and Bowles said both players could be in play soon.
  • Godwin’s return follows a spring procedure to address ankle hardware and a three‑year, $66 million re‑signing, while rookie Emeka Egbuka’s strong Week 1 eases pressure to rush him back.
