        Emeka Egbuka WR TB
        12:52pm UTC 10/13/25

        Updates On Injured Buccaneers WRs

        Updates On Injured Buccaneers WRs

        NFL Network's Ian Rapoport expects WR Emeka Egbuka to "miss some time" with the hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 6 win over the 49ers. The rookie is scheduled for an MRI on Monday. "Does not seem like it's that serious," Rapoport adds. Consider Egbuka unlikely to play vs. the Lions this weekend. Tampa Bay then gets the Saints in Week 8 before a Week 9 bye, so it's possible that we don't see Egbuka again until Week 10. Rapoport adds that WR Mike Evans is "nearing a return" from his hamstring injury, while WR Chris Godwin is "week-to-week" with his fibula injury. We'll see if Evans can make it back for the Lions game. If not, the Bucs will be down to Tez Johnson, Kameron Johnson, and Sterling Shepard as their top three WRs.

        Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin is considered "week to week" with his fibula injury, according to The Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud. The injury is in a different area from the ankle injury that ended Godwin's 2024 season, per Stroud. There are no plans to place Godwin on IR, but it sounds like he might miss more than just one game. With WR Mike Evans (hamstring) also out for Sunday's game vs. the 49ers, WRs Sterling Shepard and Tez Johnson should pick up more snaps. Both guys would be desperation fantasy plays. This passing game should continue to run through WR Emeka Egbuka.

        Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Tampa Bay WR Chris Godwin is not expected to play in Week 6. Godwin popped up on the injury report and did not practice this week with a fibula injury. He missed the first three games of the season recovering from a fractured ankle that also cost him half of the 2024 season.
