Chris Godwin Jr. - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Expected to return Week 12 Godwin (fibula) is expected to be play in Sunday night's game against the Rams, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Impact Godwin drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after posting an LP-FP-LP practice log during Week 12 prep, but the veteran wide receiver is on track to return from a five-game absence due to a fibula injury. It's unclear whether he will operate on a snap count Sunday, but his return would mean less targets to go around for Tez Johnson, Sterling Shepard and Cade Otton. Godwin has appeared in just two regular-season games in 2025, recording six catches (on 14 targets) for 52 yards.

Officially questionable Godwin (fibula) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after logging a limited practice Friday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Earlier Friday, Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Godwin is on track to play Sunday night. The veteran wideout upgraded to full practice participation Thursday, before dropping back to 'limited' Friday to close out the week. It sounds like that was just maintenance, not indicative of any setback, but fantasy managers should still keep one eye on the situation ahead of an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday

Gets back to full Thursday Godwin (fibula) practiced in full Thursday.

Impact After opening Week 12 prep with a limited walkthrough Wednesday. Godwin didn't have any practice restrictions one day later for the first time since he sustained a fibula injury Week 5. He thus is poised to return to action Sunday at the Rams, but ultimately the Buccaneers may give him a designation on the final practice report of the week Friday. As for fellow WR Emeka Egbuka (illness), he remained limited Thursday, so his status also is notable as it pertains to the team's receiving corps.

Stays limited Wednesday Godwin (fibula) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.

Impact Godwin practiced last Wednesday for the first time since he emerged from Week 5 with a fibula injury. He's now been listed as limited on four consecutive injury reports, but coach Todd Bowles told Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site this Wednesday that Godwin was "ramping up" his activity level ahead of Sunday's contest at the Rams. Rookie WR Emeka Egbuka (illness) also was limited Wednesday, meaning the statuses of the team's top two options at the position on the active roster are up in the air for Week 12 action.

Impact Bowles said the same of second-year running back Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot), who like Godwin returned to practice as a limited participant Week 11 but was ruled out for Tampa Bay's loss to the Bills. Godwin hasn't played since Week 5 due to a fibula injury. If he's able to retake the field in time to suit up on the road during Sunday Night Football, Godwin will figure to join rookie Emeka Egbuka as one of the clear top targets for quarterback Baker Mayfield. In the event that Godwin is cleared to play but needs time to ramp up his snap count, however, Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard will continue to handle expanded roles.
