Chris Godwin, Chris Godwin Limited in Practice Again on Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) recorded his second straight limited practice on Thursday. The veteran has missed four consecutive games due to a fibula injury, but it appears he has a chance to make his return in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills. Across the two games he's been active for in 2025, Godwin has recorded six catches for 52 yards on 14 targets. Given his myriad injury issues over the past year-plus, Tampa Bay may look to re-integrate Godwin into the offense slowly. If he remains out in Week 11, rookie wide receiver Tez Johnson would likely serve as the team's WR2 alongside Emeka Egbuka for another game. Based on him logging back-to-back limited practices to open the week, Godwin's Week 11 status may not be determined until Sunday.

Bucky Irving, Bucky Irving Limited Again on Thursday, Will he Return in Week 11?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) returned to practice this week and was limited for the second straight day on Thursday, according to Brianna Dix of Buccaneers.com. Irving has not played since Week 4, but it appears he might have a real chance at returning this Sunday to take on the Buffalo Bills. The 23-year-old was Tampa's clear lead back before suffering a shoulder subluxation and a sprained foot. Fantasy managers have to be stoked that Irving is making progress, but keep in mind that head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this week that he didn't expect Irving to play in Week 11. He'll probably need a full practice on Friday to have a realistic shot at playing this weekend. If Irving isn't cleared, his next chance to play will be in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker will split backfield work another week if Irving doesn't play.

Chris Godwin, Chris Godwin Gets in Another Practice Session

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin recorded another practice on Thursday as the team gears up for a matchup with the hosting Buffalo Bills this Sunday. Godwin returned to practice on Wednesday in a limited capacity after not having done so since way back in Week 5. While it's unclear what his status was for Thursday's session, it's undoubtedly a step in the right direction. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Bucs hold the veteran out a little bit longer, considering he's barely a year removed from a significant ankle injury. In any case, fantasy managers will want to keep a watchful eye on his designation in Week 11, as Tampa Bay's corps of wideouts is particularly thin. If Godwin is forced to miss another game, teammates Emeka Egbuka, Tez Johnson, and Sterling Shepard would again operate in 11 personnel.

Bucky Irving, Bucky Irving Practicing for Second Straight Day

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) was spotted at practice for the second consecutive day ahead of the team's road clash with the Buffalo Bills in Week 11. Irving hasn't touched the field since a standout performance in Week 4, but the recent string of practices is encouraging. It's unknown if he'll be on track to play in Sunday's outing, though fantasy managers must be relieved to see him practicing in at least a limited capacity. Presumably, he'll likely sit for another week or so as he works back to full strength. If that's the case, it will be another game of backfield mates Rachaad White and Sean Tucker splitting work in his stead. White has led the duo by a wide margin in snaps, but it's worth mentioning that Tucker has garnered more work in the previous two outings.

Chris Godwin, Chris Godwin Puts in Limited Practice on Wednesday

Updating previous reports, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) was officially listed as a limited participant in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday, according to the team's website. Godwin wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media, but he did get onto the field later in the day, perhaps giving him a chance to play this Sunday against the Buffalo Bills for the first time since injuring his fibula in Week 5. The 29-year-old appears to be making progress, but head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this week that he didn't expect Godwin to play in Week 11. Both Godwin and running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) were limited, but it doesn't mean they'll be available versus the Bills. Tampa is taking a cautious approach with Godwin, who suffered a season-ending dislocated ankle in Week 7 of last year. Don't be surprised if he's not back until the calendar flips to December.
