Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans are anxiously awaiting updates on Chris Godwin after his recent injury during the game against the Baltimore Ravens. As a key player, Godwin’s absence could significantly impact the team’s performance in the NFL.
Here’s the latest on his injury and how it might affect the Buccaneers’ season.
How did Chris Godwin get injured playing football?
Chris Godwin suffered a serious left leg injury during a Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens on October 21, 2024.
Godwin’s injury was serious enough that he had to be carted off the field with a vacuum splint on his leg. This raised concerns about a potentially season-ending injury. Several teammates gathered around him, visibly shaken by the incident. It marked a tough moment for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
When will Chris Godwin return to play NFL?
As of now, there is no official timeline for Chris Godwin’s return to NFL action following his dislocated ankle. Recovery from such an injury often takes several months, depending on the severity and necessary treatment, which could include surgery.
This marks Godwin’s second significant leg injury in his career. He previously tore his ACL and MCL in 2021. While it’s too early to predict a return date, his absence will be significant. He was a key contributor to the Buccaneers’ offense this season. Godwin tied with teammate Mike Evans for a league-leading five touchdowns.
The loss of both star wide receivers, Godwin and Evans, significantly impacts Tampa Bay’s playoff aspirations. Godwin’s injury has left the Buccaneers needing backup players to step up as they navigate the remainder of the season. Although the team remains atop the NFC South, their path forward is now much more challenging without two of their offensive leaders. Now, it remains to be seen what approach the team will take in the absence of their key players.
