Report: Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin had second ankle surgery

Jenna Laine on X

Jul 22, 2025 · 8:50 PM EDT

Multiple sources tell ESPN that Chris Godwin underwent a second procedure on his ankle this spring, shedding further light on his rehab from a dislocated ankle last season.

Related players: Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard

Fantasy Impact:

Laine reports the second procedure wasn't a surprise and was a clean-up procedure. It remains to be seen how much the second surgery - if at all - sets Godwin back. He wasn't expected to be a full-go in camp until closer to the season. There will likely be many updates on Godwin was we progress through camp. If he remains on PUP to start the season, he'll of course miss the first four games, which will open the door for either Egbuka or McMillan to carve out a role going forward.

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton, WR Sterling Shepard are Out for Week 17

TE Cade Otton, S Antoine Winfield Jr. and WR Sterling Shepard are all OUT for Bucs in Week 17.

Related Players: Payne Durham, Ko Kieft, Devin Culp, Trey Palmer, Ryan Miller

Fantasy Impact:

Shepard shouldn't impact the rest of the team's target share too much, while none of these tight ends need to be considered.

Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving, WR Mike Evans miss second straight practice

Today’s Bucs-Raiders injury report…Mike Evans and Bucky Irving still not practicing. Talked to Evans today though and he said, “I’m feeling good. Played close to 70 plays the last game. Felt…really good shape. I’m getting very close.”

Fantasy Impact:

We don't need to panic quite yet, but we're coming up against it if Evans and Irving don't practice on Friday. While the WR2s aren't particularly interesting, Rachaad White would be an easy click in Week 14 if Irving misses the game.

Buccaneers Beat: Team wants to get WR Jalen McMillan going

Pewter Report

Nov 26, 2024 · 4:22 PM EST

While Mike Evans’ return was the headline, rookie receiver Jalen McMillan also came back for the first time in a couple games. McMillan ended up leading all Bucs receivers in playing at 41 snaps and 63%. It’s evident they want to get him going and he’ll be important for the offense.

Fantasy Impact:

The report went on to say the Bucs seem like they have selected McMillan over Rakim Jarrett and Trey Palmer, with Shepard rounding out the trio of starting receivers in 11 personnel. McMillan didn't have much to show in his return despite the snaps, as he caught just one ball for 11 yards and was only targeted twice. Evans led the way for the WRs with a 5-68-0 line. The Bucs were in control most of the game and their RBs carried 28 times in total. RB Bucky Irving also broke out with a 6-64-0 receiving line on top of 87 yards rushing and a TD. All of the Tampa running backs scored rushing touchdowns and Baker Mayfield ran for one as well. It at least sounds like McMillan may get more chances in a different game situation.
