Tampa Bay Buccaneers star wide receiver Chris Godwin is facing a potential season-ending injury after dislocating his ankle during Monday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens. The 28-year-old will undergo ankle surgery this week to determine the extent of the damage, with sources indicating that it will likely end his 2024 season.
Godwin, who leads the league in receptions and yards after catch, has been having a career year with 576 receiving yards through Week 7. This injury comes at a critical time for both him and the Buccaneers, who are tied atop the NFC South with the Atlanta Falcons at 4-3.
The timing of the injury is particularly unfortunate for Godwin, as he is set to become a free agent after this season. The possibility remains that Monday night’s game could have been his final snap for the Buccaneers, for whom he has played since being drafted in the third round in 2017.
The loss of Godwin is a significant blow for the Buccaneers as they prepare to face the Falcons once again on Sunday. Despite the setback, the team will continue to push forward in their quest for a successful season and remain in contention for the playoffs.
