The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a rough Week 7, losing to the Baltimore Ravens. Things worsened when star wide receiver Chris Godwin suffered a serious ankle injury. Mike Evans’s injury in the second quarter precipitated this dire situation.
Bucs’ head coach expressed concern about Godwin’s injury, hinting that these back-to-back setbacks could hurt the team’s chances moving forward.
Late in the fourth quarter, Ravens Roquan Smith tackled Chris Godwin, badly injuring his leg. The Bucs took him off the field with his leg in an air cast. Before suffering the injury, he made seven catches for 65 yards.
Head coach Todd Bowles said after the Buccaneers’ 41-31 loss that it looks like Godwin has a broken ankle. He also said the injury “doesn’t look good,” and there is no set date for Godwin’s return.
It is not clear if Godwin went to the hospital, but Bowles’ words suggest that the Buccaneers might need to prepare for one of their star players to miss many games.
They were having a great season, leading the NFL in catches, yards, and scores. But now they’re in trouble because Mike Evans is also out due to injury.
Chris Godwin And Mike Evans’ Injuries Will Impact Bucs’ Future Game
Chris Godwin and Mike Evans are very important players for the Bucs, but both got hurt during the game. This made it challenging for the team to play well at the end.
Mike Evans hurt his hamstring while trying to play in the end zone. He had just caught his 100th career touchdown but had to leave the game because of his injury.
Without Godwin and Evans, the Buccaneers had a tough time and were losing to the Ravens at halftime. Now, there are worries about how the team will do in future games without their star receivers.
