Chris Godwin was having among the best years of his profession in 2024 earlier than he suffered a grotesque harm, and a few have questioned if he might be impacted subsequent season. Tampa Bay Buccaneers normal supervisor Jason Licht doesn’t sound involved about any lingering results for the veteran receiver, nonetheless.
Godwin suffered a dislocated ankle in Week 7 final 12 months that required season-ending surgical procedure. Licht spoke concerning the harm during a Thursday appearance on WDAE’s “The Drive with TKras” present. The GM expressed optimism about Godwin’s restoration.
“I am feeling superb about it. He is hitting all of his milestones. He is hitting all of his markers. He is the place he is speculated to be,” Licht stated, via Bobby Kownack of NFL.com. “We’re not going to attempt to set any data for the quickest rehab as a result of we wish to ensure every part’s achieved proper and simply get him on the market for the common season. Proper now, we’re taking it week by week. I’ve stated this time and time earlier than, however I might by no means wager towards Chris.”
Godwin had 50 receptions for 576 yards and 5 touchdowns in simply seven video games earlier than struggling the harm. He had firmly established himself as Baker Mayfield’s go-to goal and averaged a career-high 7.1 catches per sport.
This isn’t the primary time in Godwin’s profession that he has needed to come again from a serious harm. He tore his ACL late within the 2021 season. He had a career-high 104 catches the next 12 months.
The Buccaneers re-signed Godwin to a three-year, $66M deal in the beginning of free company. No less than one different crew was reportedly keen to supply the 29-year-old much more money, so it feels like nobody is betting towards Godwin heading into 2025.
