Injury news from the Bucs, WR Chris Godwin fractured his left index and underwent surgery.

Related players: Mike Evans, Scott Miller

Godwin is out for Week 8, as the tweet went on to say. Evans should get a boost with Godwin out, but other reports say Evans and Miller are banged up too. Evans is dealing with a ankle injury and Miller is dealing with a bad hip. For the record, this is why the Bucs say they signed Antonio Brown, but Brown won't play until at least Week 9.

This was the first chance for Bruce Arians and his players to talk about why Brown is coming on board, how a deep, talented offense will handle another option in the passing game, and how a team with real positive momentum can avoid any chemistry problems.

“It’s an insurance policy,” said Arians, who has seen Mike Evans limited by multiple injuries and Chris Godwin miss three games already this season. “When we don’t have Mike, when we don’t have Chris, why not have another Pro Bowl-caliber player that’s available that fits our cap and fits everything else. So why not? We have good players. You can’t have enough of them.”

There wasn't a lot of specifics about how Brown will work into games, but the story did say Miller, who leads the team with 365 receiving yards, would almost certainly see his role diminish with Brown’s addition. The story did add Brown's speed and body type (5-10, 185 pounds) is similar to Miller's (5-11, 174) so it's possible Brown just takes over the role of Miller.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have removed WRs Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, Scott Miller, and Justin Watson, RB LeSean McCoy, and TE Rob Gronkowski from their Week 6 injury report, according to Scott Smith of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Leonard Fournette (ankle) is officially questionable.

Tom Brady is almost guaranteed his entire offensive corps for Sunday's showdown against the Green Bay Packers. Godwin and Evans are locked in starters, Gronk is a borderline TE1, Miller and Watson are in the WR4/5 conversation, and McCoy should see increased snaps if Fournette is out.
