Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or Marvin Mims Jr.

Friday, November 7, 12:17 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) didn't practice again on Friday and will be ruled out for the Week 10 game against the New England Patriots on Sunday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Godwin is slowly making progress, but he's still not ready coming out of the bye and will miss a fourth straight game this weekend. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Thursday that the Bucs are taking their time with the 29-year-old pass-catcher, and he might not return until late November or early December. Tampa is thin at the receiver position with veteran Mike Evans (collarbone) potentially out for the rest of the year, but the team isn't going to rush Godwin back after he suffered a season-ending ankle dislocation in Week 7 of last year. With Godwin out again this Sunday, rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson, and Sterling Shepard will work in starting three-wide sets.

Despite being listed as limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Denver Broncos have ruled out wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) for a second straight game for the Week 10 matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football. Mims suffered a concussion in the Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys and was unable to play in Sunday's victory over the Houston Texans. He'll miss his second straight game, but hopefully he'll clear the league's concussion protocol in time to suit up for a crucial divisional contest next week against the Kansas City Chiefs. With the 23-year-old sidelined again, Troy Franklin and rookie Pat Bryant will once again have additional opportunities to make noise in the passing attack in a plus matchup behind WR1 Courtland Sutton. Tight end Evan Engram should also bounce back after posting a donut last week.
