Chris Godwin

Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said he’s “hoping” Chris Godwin will be able to play Week 1.

“I’ll have more to know about that after [this] month goes on - see how he feels when he gets running and practicing and everything else,” Bowles continued. This makes both Jason Licht and Bowles in the “quietly confident” section on Godwin’s recovery after the 29-year-old dislocated his ankle in Week 7. Godwin certainly appears to have a chance to be ready for Week 1, but we’re probably too far out to reliably forecast that at this point.
