I asked Todd Bowles today if he had any injury concerns at receiver other than Chris Godwin, and he said he did not. Keep that in mind when reading Bucs’ injury report.

Godwin is of course dealing with a hamstring issue and doesn't seem likely to play. But now Jones is dealing with a knee issue and Gage a hamstring as well. Evans, we reported today, had his calf wrapped. This is a situation to watch heading into Week 2.

Following up on this...it’s a calf injury for Mike Evans.

Laine went on to tweet it sounds relatively minor for Evans. The Bucs are already expected to be without Chris Godwin so Julio Jones and Russell Gage could be factors in Week 2 if Evans is limited in any way.

No WR Chris Godwin or LT Donovan Smith at practice today.

The Bucs said Godwin's hamstring injury wasn't as serious as first thought, but the team never put a specific timetable on his return. Reports say he's likely going to be out for Week 2, but the good news he didn't reinjure his ACL. The Bucs will go with Evans, Jones and Gage as their top-three WRs for Week 2.

Chris Godwin suffered a hamstring strain during Sunday Night Football, but it would seem that his reconstructed knee came out of the game fine.

Those willing to play Godwin in Week 1 were stuck with a 3-35-0 line while both teammates Mike Evans and Julio Jones had at least 69 yards, with the former finding the end zone. The Buccaneers were able to cruise to a win on SNF as the Cowboys only scored three points, but matchups in the next few weeks —namely, the Packers in Week 3 and Chiefs in Week 4— could provide some firepower for the ancillary pieces of Godwin is still sidelined.

Mike Evans is back practicing today.

Laine said Evans did do some jogging and the hamstring looked to be holding up. Evans has been out about two weeks so the hope is he starts to really progress from here.

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles told reporters Saturday that WR Mike Evans, who left Friday's practice early with a hamstring injury, "is fine" and is day-to-day.

Certainly good news for Evans. He'll have plenty of time to rest. We're still a month away from the Buccaneers' first game on September 11 against the Cowboys and it was always very unlikely Evans, or many other Buccaneers starters, would play much, if at all, in the preseason. Evans is being selected, on average, in the top 20 picks overall as a top-8 wide receiver in what should be another Super-Bowl-or-bust season and what could be Tom Brady's final season.

This was Godwin's first practice since his ACL tear.

If Godwin is truly ready to go by Week 1, we have a bonafide wide receiver logjam in Tampa Bay, which will be a great problem to have for Tom Brady. There for a brief moment, it was looking like Russell Gage was going to operate as the team's WR2 for at least a small portion of the 2022 season, but with the return of Godwin and the addition of Julio Jones, he may be relegated back to a rotational role.

The soon-to-be 45-year Tom Brady now will have a chance to throw to the 33-year-old Jones, Schefter pointed out. The Bucs do throw a lot but there will be a lot of mouths to feed in this offense. It could be insurance for Godwin returning to the lineup from injury as well. The biggest hit could come to Gage's targets and value, and, Jones, himself, may not see a ton of balls like potential owners were hoping for. Still, there is definitely some value for Jones and his owners.

John Paulsen's take: Jones is yet another weapon for Tom Brady and provides some insurance in case Chris Godwin is not available at the start of the season. Godwin is apparently cleared for the start of camp, so he's seemingly on track to play Week 1, but given the timeframe of his ACL tear, that's a really quick recovery. As long as Jones is healthy, he'll have a chance to play in three-WR sets with Mike Evans and Godwin, but it's possible that Russell Gage beats out the 33-year-old Jones for the WR3 job if Jones' production has truly declined. If Godwin is out to start the season, Gage will likely fill the slot since nearly half of his targets came on slot routes last season. Jones's arrival puts a small dent in Evans' and Gage's value.

Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones (ankle) and WR Cyril Grayson (hamstring) remain out of practice. WRs Breshad Perriman (hip) and Tyler Johnson (quad) remain limited. WR Mike Evans (hamstring) practiced in full.

Buried the lede nicely, eh? The Grayson/Jones injuries loom fairly large are productive pieces of the an offense littered with injuries.
