Bucs’ HC Bruce Arians on the decision to bring back WR Antonio Brown and S Mike Edwards after they misrepresented their vaccination status: “Yeah, it’s in the best interest of our football team. Both of those guys have served their time and we’ll welcome them back.”

Those who kept Brown around all this time, through injury and suspension, could be greatly rewarded as we enter the fantasy semifinals and finals. The Bucs lost Evans and Godwin on Sunday night this past week and both could be looking at missing multiple weeks. The team also lost top pass-catching RB Leonard Fournette, so Brown could be in store for a lot of targets over the next few weeks.

The early thought on Chris Godwin’s injury is he sprained his MCL during Sunday’s game against the Saints.

Godwin will miss time and will undergo an MRI to determine a timetable for his return. It’s possible he could be out until the playoffs wit just three weeks left in the season. The Bucs could just choose to rest him. They still have the division in their grasp, but will likely be playing on Wild Card Weekend. The Bucs’ remaining schedule is the Panthers, Jets and then the Panthers again.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (hamstring) is doubtful and WR Chris Godwin (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Saints. We could continue to see a lot of Leonard Fournette, who already has six catches tonight.

Update: Both have been ruled out for the rest of the game.

Tough news on top of what’s already been a fairly quiet day for the Buccaneers offense, as they trail at the half, 6-0. Godwin was the leading receiver for Tampa in the first half with 49 yards on six catches. Evans has one catch for 14 yards.

Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (foot) remains limited in practice Friday ahead of Monday night's game against the New York Giants.

Limited is better than DNP, especially after a successful Week 10. If he is limited again Saturday, expect Godwin to play.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without WR Antonio Brown (ankle) and TE Rob Gronkowski (back) for Week 10 at WFT. WR Chris Godwin (foot) is a game-time decision after getting in reps at Friday's practice.

Brown's absence was expected, and Gronk had not practiced all week. No Godwin would be a major boost for Tyler Johnson, Mike Evans, and Scotty Miller if Miller is activated from IR.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin missed Thursday’s practice with a foot injury.

Godwin appears to be in danger of missing Week 10 and will likely need to practice in some fashion on Friday in order to be cleared for this weekend. This is a situation for fantasy managers to monitor. Godwin has been excellent with Antonio Brown sidelined but may see his momentum slowed if he cannot go this Sunday. Godwin is currently our 20th ranked wide receiver for Week 10.

Bucs TE Rob Gronkowski (back) and WRs Chris Godwin (foot) and Antonio Brown (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Bad news on all accounts. Brown was expected to miss multiple weeks so the Godwin and Gronk injuries are ones to watch as Sunday approaches.

Buccaneers HC Bruce Arians told reporters Wednesday that WR Chris Godwin is dealing with a foot injury. The team has signed WR Breshad Perriman.

Perriman could play as soon as Sunday if Godwin is out. The Bucs are also without Antonio Brown.

Brown, of course, is dealing with an ankle injury and as of today his status doesn't look good for Week 10 against Washington, especially after coming off a bye week. Johnson could see additional snaps but look for Godwin and Evans to continue to pick up the slack if Brown is out of the lineup.

Brown has been excellent for the Bucs but his ankle injury was too much to overcome the same week it happened. Look for Tyler Johnson to replace Brown in three-wide sets.
