Overview

  • Chris Godwin and left tackle Tristan Wirfs practiced on a limited basis Thursday for the first time this season, and Todd Bowles said they looked good.
  • Bowles said both players could be in play for Monday night at Houston, though he emphasized they still have a lot of tests to pass and no decisions have been made.
  • NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the Buccaneers are hopeful for a Week 5 return for Godwin, with Week 6 also possible, after a spring procedure addressed ankle hardware.
  • Tampa Bay activated Godwin from the PUP list on August 21 to allow on-field rehab in September rather than a mandated four-game absence.
  • The Buccaneers opened 2025 with a 23-20 win over the Falcons without Godwin, as rookie Emeka Egbuka led the receiving corps with 67 yards and two touchdowns.
