Godwin, also recovering, is projected to have a return timeline similar to Wirfs. He logged limited practice this week, and the Buccaneers are cautious but optimistic. A healthy Godwin paired with Wirfs would significantly boost Tampa Bay’s aerial attack and overall dynamic playmaking.

Chris Godwin inactive; top WR out, elevating depth receivers and altering target distribution.

Godwin’s status as inactive again limits a clear target share and forces broader involvement by other receivers.

Godwin is listed as out (O), removing a primary reliable target and forcing TB to diversify the receiving corps. His absence could dampen big-play ability and open opportunities for secondary pass-catchers and RBs.

Godwin’s absence shifts some targets away from the Tampa Bay receiving corps. Evans remains the primary vertical option, with Egbuka stepping in as a supplementary target. Mayfield will look to spread the ball while TB leans on Evans in a matchup where upside remains possible.
