Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht says he expects wide receiver Chris Godwin to make his return in week five at the earliest.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is returning from a dislocated ankle and won’t be placed on Injured Reserve, but still isn’t expected on the field in the first four weeks of the season. General manager Jason Licht believes Godwin could return in week five or later.
Godwin isn’t the only Bucs wide receiver that will miss time to open the season, second year wide out Jalen McMillan was placed on IR with a neck injury. With Godwin and McMillan out for at least the first four weeks of the season first round rookie Emeka Egbuka will have to step up alongside Mike Evans in the Tampa Bay passing attack.
What was once considered their deepest position, wide receiver depth is now a question for the Buccaneers. Expect Baker Mayfield’s targets to consolidate around Evans and Egbuka for the opening weeks of the season.
