The Athletic: Chris Godwin WIll Play Against Rams
November 23rd, 2025
Returns tonight?
Chris Godwin may be listed as questionable for tonight’s game with the Rams, seen by the nation on NBC. But Diana Russini of The Athletic has no question about Godwin.
Per Russini, had has two sources telling her Godwin will suit up tonight and get on the field for some snaps on offense against the Rams.
A ravaged receiving corps is waiting on the return of Chris Godwin after he reinjured the fibula he fractured last season in Week 5 against the Seahawks. Two league sources say he is expected to return for “Sunday Night Football.”
This would be Godwin’s first appearance since he re-injured his fibula against Seattle.
Godwin wasn’t tearing things up when he played earlier in the season. Godwin played against Philadelphia and Seattle but had meager numbers. he had a total of 52 yards receiving.
The Eagles pretty much locked him down as Baker Mayfield targeted Godwin 10 times but he had just three catches. Godwin was much better against Seattle, catching three passes on four targets.
In both games against Philadelphia and Seattle, Godwin had 26 yards in each game.
The way the Bucs’ passing game has sunk into the abyss since the win over San Francisco, just having Godwin on the field ought to loosen things up for stud rookie Emeka Egbuka.

Don’t expect much from Godwin but hope that his mere presence will remove some attention from Egbuka.

“he re-injured his fibula against Seattle.”
I thought the original injury was a dislocated ankle…

“Some snaps” can mean anything from a handful of plays to a sizeable percentage of the snaps. He should help Egbuka when he is lined up in the slot but I doubt if he is going to be on the highlight reel. Still, hope he stays healthy and maybe he can do some things for the Bucs in the stretch rush.

This is good, because it takes some of the attention off Egbuka. I don’t expect Godwin to come out looking in healthy, mid-season form, but I’d love for him to step back into that chain moving role we’ve missed in his absence.
