The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to regain their health as they approach Week 12 of the NFL season. The positive news for the team is that wide receiver Chris Godwin is expected to return to action during Sunday Night Football after recovering from a fibula injury. This update comes from ESPN”s Adam Schefter.
However, not all news is favorable. Schefter also reported that running back Bucky Irving will not participate in the game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. On a brighter note, Irving is anticipated to be back on the field for Week 13.
As for fellow receiver Mike Evans, he continues to be sidelined as he is on Injured Reserve due to a broken collarbone. The Buccaneers are set to face the Rams in a crucial matchup that holds significance for both teams in terms of talent and standings, though it does not carry the weight of a divisional rivalry.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield will certainly welcome Godwin”s return, as he has been relying heavily on rookie Emeka Egbuka in the meantime. With both Godwin and Evans unavailable, the receiving corps has been thin, with only another rookie, Tez Johnson, stepping up. Godwin”s presence will provide Mayfield with a reliable target as the team aims to strengthen its performance in the latter part of the season.
The Buccaneers are looking to bounce back after a recent loss to the Buffalo Bills. As the team gets healthier, they hope to finish the regular season on a strong note.
