Bucs WR Chris Godwin suffered an apparent left ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Monday night's loss to the Ravens. He was carted off the field with the leg in an air cast. This obviously looks like a serious, potentially season-ending injury. We'll update Godwin's status when we know more. The Bucs lost WR Mike Evans to an aggravation of his hamstring injury earlier in this game. That leaves Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard, and Trey Palmer as their top healthy WRs.
Hamstring for Evans, Dislocated ankle for Godwin Buccaneers believe WR Chris Godwin dislocated his ankle. (Adam Schefter on X) FF Today's Take: We saw a number of injuries in Week 7 including two on Monday night to starting Buccaneers wide receivers. Mike Evans left early, aggravating his hamstring injury. Chris Godwin was injured with under a minute left in the game and appears to have suffered a dislocated ankle that will likely end his season. Tampa's Week 8 game against the Falcons could feature Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer at receiver.
Palmer has missed the previous two games after sustaining a concussion in Week 4 but upgraded to a full participant on both Friday and Saturday, making it likely he makes his return against the Ravens. The fact that he is listed as questionable and not off the team's injury report entirely likely means he has to clear the final step of the league's concussion protocol, something that fantasy managers in deep leagues will want to see happen Sunday to feel well enough about inserting him back into starting lineups.
White was listed as doubtful heading into the weekend, so his absence doesn't come as a surprise. Bucky Irving will make his first career start versus the Saints. He sits comfortably inside the top 20 running backs for fantasy purposes. Also inactive for the Bucs are C Graham Barto, DB Christian Izien, WR Kameron Johnson, TE Devin Culp, and WR Trey Palmer.
Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend s game vs. the Saints. He was a full-go in Friday s practice and is expected back for this one. McMillan isn t a viable fantasy play, but his return is a slight boost for QB Baker Mayfield. WR Trey Palmer (concussion) remains out.
