Chris Godwin had Minor Ankle Procedure This Spring

Multiple sources told ESPN's Jenna Laine that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (ankle) had another minor ankle procedure this spring to have it "cleaned out." However, a source said it wasn't a surprise and that Godwin is "doing well." He was officially placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday after he suffered a season-ending dislocated left ankle in Week 7 of 2024. Godwin was told in October of last year that as a "best-case scenario," he could return in the playoffs in January. General manager Jason Licht said back in April that the plan was for Godwin to return in Week 1 of 2025. However, the 29-year-old didn't take part in OTAs or minicamp and is now sidelined to start training camp. The longer Godwin remains on PUP this summer, the greater the chance he'll get off to a slow start. With Godwin out, rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan will be starters in three-wide sets next to Mike Evans.
