Chris Godwin Not Seen at Thursday's Practice

Thursday, October 9, 12:29 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) was not seen at Thursday's portion of practice open to the media, according to River Wells of Bucs Gameday. Godwin also sat out the first practice of the week on Wednesday with a fibula injury, putting his status for Sunday's contest against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6 in question. Mike Evans (hamstring) remains sidelined and is expected to miss another game this weekend, so if Godwin is out as well, Sterling Shepard would be the clear WR2 for quarterback Baker Mayfield behind impressive rookie first-rounder Emeka Egbuka. In addition to Shepard seeing an increased role, Tez Johnson and Ryan Miller would be in line for more offensive snaps if Godwin cannot play in Week 6. Godwin didn't make his 2025 debut until Week 4 after recovering from a dislocated ankle in Week 7 of last year. In his first two games this season, he has caught six of 14 targets for 52 scoreless yards.

Darnell Mooney Considered "Day-to-Day," Won't Practice on Thursday

Thursday, October 9, 12:11 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) will not practice on Thursday, but he's being considered day-to-day coming out of the bye week and heading into a Monday night game in Week 7 against the Buffalo Bills, according to Terrin Waack of AtlantaFalcons.com. "Right now, Mooney is still day-to-day. We'll see what that is. He'll be out today. We'll get a good feel for what it looks like moving forward," head coach Raheem Morris said. It's not a great sign that Mooney isn't taking part in the first practice of the week, especially coming out of the bye week. There's still time for the 27-year-old to return to the field in the next couple of days, but right now, there is some doubt about whether he'll be able to suit up versus Buffalo. Mooney has been a disappointment for fantasy managers through three games, catching just seven of his 16 targets for 79 yards.
