First-place Bucs building confidence with winning streak

DNP on Monday Godwin (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's injury report.
Impact Godwin joined Mike Evans (ankle), Scotty Miller (hip/groin) and Justin Watson (chest) as DNPs to kick off Week 5 prep. There's an expectation Godwin doesn't suit up Thursday at Chicago, but it'd be a great sign for his health if he's able to get back on the practice field this week. In Godwin's stead, Miller racked up five catches (on seven targets) for 83 yards and one touchdown Sunday versus the Chargers.

Unlikely to play Thursday Coach Bruce Arians doesn't expect Godwin (hamstring) to be available for Thursday's contest at Chicago, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact In a report from Jenna Laine and Dan Graziano of ESPN.com early this past week, it was rumored that Godwin was in line to miss multiple games, the result of the Bucs having two games in a five-day span. Indeed, Godwin didn't suit up Week 4, and now his standing will be monitored with just a handful of days to prepare for the Bears. It's worth noting Mike Evans briefly left Sunday's win versus the Chargers with an ankle injury as well, which could improve the stock of Scotty Miller and Justin Watson in the short term.

Chargers-Buccaneers Injury Report Oct. 2: Chris Godwin, Leonard Fournette Out The Buccaneers ruled out two key pieces of their offense while the Chargers ruled out four with another four designated as questionable.
OCTOBER 2, 2020 • BUCCANEERS.COM
Ruled out officially Godwin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Reports earlier this week suggested Godwin was in danger of missing multiple games, and it doesn't help his cause that the Bucs play on Thursday Night Football against the Bears in Week 5. He didn't practice at all this week, so a return for the Thursday game doesn't seem especially likely. Fellow wideout Justin Watson has been cleared to return from a shoulder injury for Sunday's game, while Scotty Miller (hip) appears questionable.

Not spotted Friday Godwin (hamstring) was not spotted at the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Godwin appears set to miss his third straight practice of the week, which isn't too surprising considering that the star wideout is in danger of sitting out up to two games. When the Buccaneers release Friday's official practice report this afternoon, an official designation for Godwin's Week 4 availability will be provided.

When Buccaneers near the goal line, Brady looks for Evans
Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans is off to another nice startOCTOBER 1, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Spectator for another practice Godwin (hamstring) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Jenna Laine and Dan Graziano of ESPN.com reported a day earlier that Godwin is likely to be sidelined for the Buccaneers' next two games, so his lack of practice activity Wednesday and Thursday doesn't come as a major surprise. Scotty Miller (hip/groin) is also missing his second practice in a row, so the Buccaneers could be shorthanded at receiver if neither he nor Godwin are cleared to play Sunday against the Chargers. Justin Watson and Tyler Johnson would be the top candidates to join Mike Evans in three-receiver sets if both Godwin and Miller are out.

Who couldn’t play quarterback if you have Bucs’ Mike Evans? The Pro Bowl receiver is “un-guardable" but will have to work alone Sunday since receiving-mate Chris Godwin is out with a hamstring strain.

Banged-up Bucs resume practice with key offensive contributors missing Receiver Chris Godwin is out, and receiver Scotty Miller and running back Leonard Fournette also miss practice Wednesday with injuries.

DNP on Wednesday Godwin (hamstring) was held out of practice Wednesday.
Impact Godwin's lack of reps Wednesday doesn't come as a shock after Jenna Laine and Dan Graziano of ESPN reported earlier that the wideout is expected to sit out Sunday's game against the Chargers, and perhaps the Bucs' Week 5 game in Chicago as well. Those games are within five days of each other, so the Buccaneers seem to be focused on getting Godwin healthy for a Week 6 showdown with the Packers. Meanwhile, Scotty Miller (hip) also didn't practice Wednesday, so Tampa Bay is left with Mike Evans, Justin Watson (shoulder), Jaydon Mickens and Tyler Johnson as its healthiest options at wide receiver.

Impact After sitting out the Bucs' Week 2 win over Carolina with a concussion, Godwin returned to action last weekend in Denver, but he was forced out of the contest in the third quarter with the right hamstring injury. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Godwin underwent an MRI earlier this week that revealed a minor strain, and given that the wideout also missed time late last season with a hamstring issue, the Buccaneers may be incentivized to take things slowly with him. On a more positive note, the Buccaneers don't believe Godwin's injury is a long-term concern, as the team is hopeful he'll be ready to play again no later than the Week 6 game versus Green Bay.

Likely to miss time The Buccaneers expect Godwin (hamstring) to miss some time, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact It sounds like the wide receiver likely will miss Sunday's game against the Chargers and then possibly the team's Thursday night game in Chicago on Oct. 8. If that's the case, look for Scotty Miller (hip/groin) to see added opportunities in the Bucs offense alongside Mike Evans during that span.

MRI on tap Godwin (hamstring) is scheduled to receive an MRI on Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Godwin was quickly ruled out of Sunday's win over the Broncos upon suffering his hamstring injury, and he'll now receive an MRI to officially diagnose the severity of the issue. In the event that Godwin is forced to miss any time and rehab on the sideline, Scotty Miller will take over in the slot as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Mike Evans. Justin Watson (shoulder) would be a candidate to join three-receiver sets.
