CHRIS GODWIN JR. NEWS

Held to three catches in shootout Godwin had three receptions on four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Seahawks.

Impact Godwin saw his efficiency improve from the 30 percent catch rate he posted in his return from injury last week. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, his target count dropped dramatically from the 10 he garnered against the Eagles in Week 4. Godwin's return from an ankle injury sustained in Week 7 of the 2024 season has come along slowly, dampening expectations for the veteran until we see a true return to form. The Buccaneers could still be without top wideout Mike Evans (hamstring) in Week 6, which would keep Godwin in the starting lineup against the 49ers next Sunday.

Set for extra opportunities again Godwin is likely to see elevated target volume again in Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks due to Mike Evans (hamstring) being inactive for the contest.

Impact Godwin made his return from his own serious injury -- a dislocated ankle suffered in Week 7 of last season -- in Week 4 against the Eagles, the first game of Evans' current absence. Godwin saw 10 targets across 58 snaps right out of the gate, but he was only able to haul in three of them for 26 yards. Nevertheless, with another week of practice, not to mention his first game action in nearly a year, now under his belt, Godwin could well be more efficient while facing a Seahawks secondary that will once again play without cornerback Devon Witherspoon (knee) and safety Julian Love (hamstring).

Three catches in season debut Godwin (ankle) secured three of 10 targets for 26 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact Godwin made his season debut after completing his recovery from last October's ankle dislocation, and despite concerns he'd be eased into action, the veteran wideout finished tied for the team lead in targets with Emeka Egbuka. Godwin's inefficiency wasn't unexpected considering the coverage skills of the Eagles' secondary and his long layoff, but the immediate attention from Baker Mayfield was also warranted due to the absence of Mike Evans (hamstring). With Evans expected to miss multiple games, Godwin is likely to remain heavily involved in the passing attack in a Week 5 road trip to Seattle.

Impact Godwin made his long-awaited season debut after completing his recovery from last October's ankle dislocation, and despite the possibility of a limited role, the veteran wideout finished tied for the team lead in targets with Emeka Egbuka. The inefficiency wasn't completely unexpected considering the coverage skills of the Eagles' secondary and Godwin's long period of inactivity, but the immediate attention from Baker Mayfield was also warranted considering the absence of Mike Evans (hamstring). Godwin is likely to remain heavily involved in a Week 5 road trip against the Seahawks, a game Evans is expected to remain sidelined for.

Season debut on tap Godwin (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Godwin built up his conditioning over the last three weeks, culminating with full practices Wednesday and Friday around a scheduled rest day Thursday. Now that he's finished his recovery from the dislocated left ankle that he sustained Week 7 of last season, he's ready for his first game action of 2025. The Buccaneers will be without Mike Evans (hamstring) on Sunday, so even if Godwin is inhibited at all, he'll be in the mix for passes from quarterback Baker Mayfield (right biceps) along with rookie first-round pick Emeka Egbuka and veteran Sterling Shepard.

Season debut expected Sunday Godwin (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Impact Godwin, who has missed the first three games of the season, was a full participant in practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for the contest. His expected return to the mix arrives at an opportune juncture, with fellow WR Mike Evans expected to miss three-to-four weeks with a hamstring injury. Also trending toward playing versus the Eagles is QB Baker Mayfield (biceps, questionable), with the duo's Week 4 status set to be confirmed when the Buccaneers post their inactives ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
