The Tampa Bay Buccaneers face significant challenges after star wide receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans sustained injuries during a game against the Baltimore Ravens. Godwin suffered a dislocated ankle, likely ending his season, while Evans aggravated a hamstring injury and is expected to miss several weeks. Head coach Todd Bowles expressed confidence in the current roster, deciding not to pursue trades for external reinforcements and instead relying on players like Jalen McMillan, Trey Palmer, and tight end Cade Otton. Quarterback Baker Mayfield and others have shown support for Godwin, noting his contributions and the emotional impact of his injury. The Buccaneers aim to adapt quickly to maintain their competitiveness in the NFC playoff race.
