Chris Godwin Injury
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during the team’s Week 15 game against the New Orleans Saints. The injury occurred in the first quarter when Godwin was tackled by Saints safety Marcus Maye. Godwin was immediately ruled out for the rest of the game and underwent an MRI on Monday which confirmed the torn ACL.
The loss of Godwin is a major blow to the Buccaneers, who are currently 10-4 and in first place in the NFC South. Godwin is one of the team’s most productive receivers, with 98 receptions for 1,103 yards and five touchdowns this season. He is also a key part of the team’s offense, as he is one of quarterback Tom Brady’s favorite targets.
The Buccaneers will now have to rely on other receivers to step up in Godwin’s absence. Mike Evans is the team’s leading receiver, with 1,158 yards and 13 touchdowns this season. Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson are also expected to see an increase in playing time.
The Buccaneers are still in a good position to make the playoffs, but the loss of Godwin is a significant setback. The team will need to find a way to replace his production if they want to make a deep run in the postseason.
