TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles stated it is unlikely wide receiver Chris Godwin performs this Sunday and that it will be arduous for left tackle Donovan Smith to play.
Godwin suffered a hamstring harm Sunday night time against the Cowboys. It was his first common season recreation since tearing his ACL and MCL against the New Orleans Saints late final season.
“If I had to guess, I’d say he wouldn’t,” Bowles stated of Godwin’s possibilities to play, although he did depart a really small window open for him to take the sphere.
Smith hyperextended his elbow throughout the Week 1 recreation against the Cowboys. He left the sport within the second quarter and didn’t return.
“Donovan will be close,” Bowles stated. “It will be hard for him to make it, but we’ll see.”
The Buccaneers have handled points alongside the offensive line for the reason that finish of final season. Both beginning guards from final season moved on (retirement, free company), and beginning heart Ryan Jensen suffered a likely season-ending harm throughout coaching camp.
But nothing slowed the Bucs down in Week 1 against the Cowboys as Tampa ran for 152 yards and gave up simply two sacks within the 19-3 win.
