Team news: Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Page 55

The team announced that wide receiver Dontrelle Inman was being placed on injured reserve, to make room for the addition of kicker Chase McLaughlin.

Inman left last week’s game in the fourth quarter with a quad injury, leaving them thinner still at the position. They were already without Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin.

The Chargers injury remains as bad as a team can get as they've lost another receiver to injury. We have yet to see any reports on Mike Williams or Travis Benjamin this week, but if they can't go, it will be down to Keenan Allen, Geremy Davis, Andre Patton and likely a call up from the practice squad. Austin Ekeler should also see a lot of work as a receiver.

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin didn't practice on Wednesday. He is dealing with a hip injury that coach Bruce Arians called "day-to-day."

It looks like Chris Godwin could come down to a game-time decision, but we still have Friday's practice to monitor. If Godwin can't go, Mike Evans would see another big target load and we could see Justin Watson step up for Godwin in a tough matchup with the Rams on the road.

David Njoku has elected not to have surgery on his broken wrist, a league source told cleveland.com.

Njoku broke the wrist against the Jets when cornerback Nate Hairston upended him in the first quarter on a high pass from Baker Mayfield. He also suffered a concussion on the play.

Njoku was placed on injured reserve last week and must miss a minimum of eight games. But not having surgery increases his chance of returning this season. With Njoku out, Harris caught a two-yard TD pass that put the Browns up 13-10 in the third quarter.
