Is Chris Godwin playing tonight? Why Bucs WR is off to quiet start in Week 12

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are welcoming back wide receiver Chris Godwin in the Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Godwin missed several games due to a fibula injury, but he was able to log a full practice this week and was cleared to play after drawing a questionable tag.

However, Godwin isn't off to an ideal start on Sunday night against Los Angeles. Here's a closer look at what's going on.

Is Chris Godwin playing tonight?

Yes, Godwin is active and in the lineup, and he was targeted on the opening drive but couldn't connect with Baker Mayfield.

The Bucs went run-heavy on their first drive and Mayfield only connected with Emeka Egbuka, so there wasn't much of a chance for Godwin to get going.

Hopefully things change soon.
