Chris Godwin Not Expected to Return in Week 7

Monday, October 13, 12:47 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Monday that wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) is not in play to return for the team's Week 7 Monday night contest versus the Detroit Lions, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Godwin didn't make his 2025 debut until Week 4 after recovering from a dislocated ankle last year, and he was only able to play in two games before suffering a fibula injury that kept him sidelined in the Week 6 win over the San Francisco 49ers. It appears Godwin is going to miss a second game, too. With rookie Emeka Egbuka (hamstring) getting hurt on Sunday, and Mike Evans (hamstring) still out, the Bucs could be down to Sterling Shepard, Kameron Johnson, and Tez Johnson as their starters in three-wide sets in Week 7. If Godwin doesn't play next Monday night, his next chance to return would come in Week 8 against the division-rival New Orleans Saints.

Jauan Jennings Playing Through Five Broken Ribs, Multiple Ankle Sprains

Sunday, October 12, 7:54 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ribs, ankle) told ESPN's Nick Wagoner that he is currently playing through five broken ribs, as well as high-ankle and low-ankle sprains. Jennings missed Week 5 due to injury but was able to get on the field in Week 6, albeit with limited results. He saw just three targets in the Niners' loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday, catching one pass for seven yards. 49ers fans and fantasy managers will appreciate Jennings' ability to play through injury, but if he can't produce much, it's fair to question whether he would be better off focusing on his recovery and returning to the field when he's back to 100 percent. It will be important to monitor his practice status when the 49ers publish their injury reports from Wednesday through Friday. San Francisco returns to action next Sunday night against the Atlanta Falcons. A healthy Jennings is a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3/flex. However, his ranking would drop a little if he's less than 100 percent.
