Chris Godwin Returns as Bowles Predicts He'll Be "A Terror" Once Rust Fades

Coaches view his heavy snap count as the springboard to restored impact.

Overview

  • In his first game since last October’s dislocated left ankle, Godwin had three receptions for 26 yards on 10 targets in a 31-25 loss to the Eagles.
  • Head coach Todd Bowles said the veteran will look markedly better with more reps, calling him a future "terror" once he settles in.
  • Godwin played 58 snaps, accounting for 81% of the Buccaneers’ offensive plays in his return.
  • The receiver acknowledged early rust and said timing should improve over the season after limited production in the first half.
  • Tampa Bay is leaning on Godwin with Mike Evans sidelined by a hamstring injury, as rookie Emeka Egbuka continues to produce at a high level.
