Buccaneers' Chris Godwin takes major step in return from injury

All is well, except for a few injuries to the offensive line, for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they head into a Week 3 matchup for their home opener against the New York Jets.

The Buccaneers are 2-0 heading into the matchup, and they will hope to transfer their momentum after two straight one-possession wins against the Atlanta Falcons and the Houston Texans.

A major question that fans have been curious about is the status of wide receiver Chris Godwin. On Thursday, the former third-round pick from Penn State noted a huge step in his recovery from ankle surgery.

In the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' preparation for the New York Jets in Week 3, wide receiver Chris Godwin practiced in a limited fashion and is labeled as questionable for Sunday's game.

Although his status for Week 3 remains uncertain, Chris Godwin practiced for a second consecutive day – his first time doing so since suffering a dislocated ankle with ligament damage and a fractured bone in Week 7 of the 2024 season, RotoWire.com reported.

Before getting hurt in the middle of last season, Godwin was on pace to have a career year. In seven games played, he logged 50 receptions on 62 targets, 576 yards, and five touchdowns.
