Chris Godwin to Miss First Month of Season, Possibly More
Chris Godwin (ankle) will miss the first month of the 2025 season and possibly more, according to general manager Jason Licht. The GM framed Godwin's return as likely October in Week 5 or later. On Wednesday, when asked about a potential timetable for Godwin's return, head coach Todd Bowles said anywhere from Week 2 to Week 5. Licht's statement is obviously much different and paints a much more pessimistic picture for when the 29-year-old pass-catcher will make his season debut after suffering a season-ending dislocated left ankle in Week 7 of 2024 that required surgery. The Bucs signing Godwin to a three-year, $66 million deal in March gave hope that he would be ready for Week 1, but that's just not going to be the case. The stock of rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka continues to rise, as he should be Tampa's WR2 for at least the first month.
