<p><strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers</strong> remain in the <strong>fight for a playoff spot</strong> but face a must-win game against the <strong>Carolina Panthers</strong> to keep their <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong> postseason hopes alive. The task will be significantly harder with <strong>Chris Godwin sidelined</strong> due to injury, leaving quarterback <strong>Baker Mayfield</strong> without one of his top targets. To make matters worse, the Buccaneers will also be without tight end <strong>Cade Otton</strong> and safety <strong>Antoine Winfield Jr</strong>., both ruled out with <strong>knee injuries</strong>, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.</p>



<p>Otton, who stepped up earlier this season amid injuries to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-godwin">Chris Godwin</a> and Mike Evans, has caught a <strong>career-high 59 passes for 600 yards and four touchdowns</strong>. His absence removes a reliable option in the passing game for Mayfield. Meanwhile, Winfield, a defensive anchor, has been out since Week 14 with a sprained knee. In nine games this season, he has <strong>recorded 60 tackles, defended three passes, and scored a fumble recovery touchdown, earning an elite 79.5 pass-rush grade from Pro Football Focus, ranking eighth among 165 safeties</strong>.</p>



<p>With multiple key contributors unavailable, the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers"> Buccaneers</a> will rely on rookie wide receiver <strong>Jalen McMillian to fill the void in the offense</strong>. McMillian has shown promise this season, <strong>recording 27 receptions for 336 yards and five touchdowns</strong>. His recent streak of touchdown grabs in three consecutive games suggests he’s ready to step up, but the added pressure in a <strong>must-win scenario will test his mettle</strong>.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baker-mayfield">Mayfield</a>, who has carried much of the offensive burden this season, must forge a quick connection with McMillian to <strong>sustain drives and create scoring opportunities</strong>. The coaching staff will need to devise a creative game plan to <strong>exploit the Panthers</strong>’ defensive weaknesses while compensating for the team’s depleted roster.</p>

<h2>Defensive struggles without Winfield</h2>



<p>On the defensive side, the <strong>absence of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/antoine-winfield-jr">Antoine Winfield Jr.</a> compounds the challenges for Tampa Bay</strong>. The Buccaneers have struggled to maintain consistency without their star safety, who has been a<strong> critical playmaker</strong> in both <strong>coverage and the pass rush</strong>. The defense will need to step up collectively, with other players filling the leadership void left by Winfield.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-dolphins-accidentally-disclose-concerning-injury-update-on-tyreek-hill"></div>

        

        


<h2>Playoff hopes hang in the balance</h2>



<p>After a crushing <strong>loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15</strong>, the Buccaneers’ playoff aspirations took a significant hit. Another defeat, especially against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers">Panthers</a>, would likely <strong>end their postseason ambitions</strong>. The stakes couldn’t be higher as Tampa Bay looks to avoid <strong>back-to-back losses in critical games</strong>.</p>



<p>This season has been defined by adversity for the Buccaneers, from inconsistent performances to an <strong>ever-growing injury list</strong>. Despite these challenges, the team has an opportunity to prove its resilience and character. For Baker Mayfield, Jalen McMillian, and the rest of the roster, this game is more than just a <strong>chance to stay in playoff contention—it’s a defining moment in a tumultuous season.</strong></p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a></strong> have seemingly lost <strong>Chris Godwin</strong> for the remainder of the <strong>2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season</strong>, or have they? The wide receiver has surprisingly revealed he <strong>would like to return this year</strong>, setting an ambitious date for his comeback.</p>



<p>In recent years, the Buccaneers have managed to build a highly competitive roster. Despite <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady</a>‘s retirement in 2023</strong>, the team remained a solid contender in the NFC South, thanks to the strong work of their front office.</p>



<p>Unfortunately, this season they’ve struggled with injuries. Most recently, they lost Chris Godwin, whose <strong>ankle injury was expected to sideline him for the rest of the season</strong> — or so everyone thought.</p>



<h2>Chris Godwin aims to return during the 2024 season</h2>



<p>In <strong>Week 7</strong>, the Buccaneers hosted the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a></strong>. Despite being down by 10 points with under two minutes left, <strong>Todd Bowles kept the starters</strong> on the field, a costly decision for the team.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-imposes-fine-on-bucs-baker-mayfield-for-action-against-lamar-jacksons-ravens-teammate"></div>


<p>Chris Godwin caught a pass from <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baker-mayfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baker Mayfield</a></strong> over the middle. Unfortunately, he suffered a <strong>hip-drop tackle by Roquan Smith</strong>, which led to a dislocated ankle for the wideout.</p>



<p>The talented receiver was <strong>on pace for a record season with 576 yards in seven games</strong>. The team announced he’d miss the remainder of the season, but <strong>Godwin has other plans</strong>.</p>



<p>Following ankle surgery, Godwin spoke to the media about his recovery. Surprisingly, he’s set an <strong>ambitious return date</strong>, though it would depend on his team’s performance.</p>

<p><em>“I mean, I think</em><strong><em> that’s best-case scenario, right? Like absolute best case,”</em></strong> Godwin said about <strong>potentially returning for the playoffs</strong>, via Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. <em>“For all involved. <strong>Everything lines up. That’s what you kind of aim for.”</strong></em></p>



<h2>Could Chris Godwin return for the 2024 playoffs?</h2>



<p>According to team doctors, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-godwin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Godwin</a>’s recovery could take 10 to 12 weeks</strong> following ankle surgery. While this timeline rules out the regular season, a playoff return might be possible.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-punishes-ravens-roquan-smith-for-injuring-buccaneers-chris-godwin"></div>


<p>However, the Buccaneers face an uncertain future. At <strong>4-4</strong>, Godwin and Mike Evans’ injuries have raised concerns. The <strong>Falcons currently lead the NFC South</strong>, but Tampa Bay isn’t likely to give up the race easily.</p>

The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> has decided to <strong>punish <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a> linebacker Roquan Smith</strong> for the <strong>tackle</strong> that caused the <strong>wide receiver’s injury</strong>.</p>



<p>The season of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a></strong> took a serious hit. Following <strong>Mike Evans’ injury</strong>—which appears less severe—the NFC South team <strong>lost Chris Godwin</strong> in Week 7 for the entire campaign.</p>



<p>At the end of the game against the Ravens, <strong>Godwin caught a pass from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baker-mayfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baker Mayfield</a> in the middle of the field</strong>. Unfortunately, he was tackled by Roquan Smith, who accidentally dislocated Godwin’s ankle.</p>



<h2>Roquan Smith faces harsh punishment after injuring Chris Godwin</h2>



<p>Baker Mayfield has lost one of his primary targets for the season. Chris Godwin, who was <strong>on track for his best year yet</strong>, will miss the remainder of the season due to the injury suffered in Week 7.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-buccaneers-confirm-severity-of-chris-godwins-injury"></div>


<p>With the <strong>Bucs down by 10 points</strong> and just two minutes left, <strong>Todd Bowles kept the starters</strong> on the field. This <strong>decision proved costly</strong>, as Godwin dislocated his ankle in the game’s final minutes.</p>



<p><strong>Roquan Smith was responsible for the injury</strong> after making a <strong>hip-drop tackle</strong> on Godwin, who couldn’t avoid the impact, causing the dislocation.</p>



<p>While <strong>Smith didn’t intend to injure Godwin</strong>, the <strong>hip-drop tackle is now prohibited</strong> by the NFL. Although referees didn’t flag the play, the <strong>league has taken action</strong>.</p>

<p>The <strong>NFL announced that Roquan Smith has been fined $16,833</strong> for the tackle on Godwin. The league <strong>banned hip-drop tackles</strong> this year to reduce injuries, though implementing the rule has posed challenges.</p>

NFL punishes Ravens' Roquan Smith for injuring Buccaneers' Chris Godwin

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a></strong> have had a solid <strong>2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season</strong>. Unfortunately, in Week 7, they <strong>lost <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-godwin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chris Godwin</a> to injury</strong>, and the <strong>severity of it</strong> has now been confirmed.</p>



<p>It seems like the Buccaneers have made a <strong>smooth roster transition</strong> in recent years. Despite <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady</a>‘s retirement</strong>, the NFC South club found a <strong>reliable quarterback in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baker-mayfield" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baker Mayfield</a></strong>, who has been <strong>surrounded by top-tier weapons</strong> since his arrival last year.</p>



<p>Mayfield has joined a talented offense that has helped him thrive. <strong>Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are his primary targets</strong>, but the latter may no longer be available to support him this season.</p>



<h2>Chris Godwin is set to miss the entire 2024 NFL season</h2>



<p>The Buccaneers have performed decently this year. With a <strong>4-3 record</strong> after seven weeks, the NFC South club stands in <strong>second place in the division</strong>, just behind the Atlanta Falcons.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-derrick-henry-makes-something-clear-about-lamar-jackson-after-ravens-win-over-buccaneers"></div>


<p><strong>Baker Mayfield</strong> has been an <strong>impressive replacement</strong> for Tom Brady. The former first overall pick has thrived with one of the <strong>best wide receiver duos</strong> in <strong>Mike Evans and Chris Godwin</strong>, but this <strong>partnership is now set to take a big hit</strong> for the rest of the season.</p>



<p>In <strong>Week 7</strong>, the Buccaneers faced the <strong>Baltimore Ravens at home</strong>. They were <strong>down 41-31 in the final minutes</strong>, but head coach <strong>Todd Bowles</strong> decided to <strong>keep the starters</strong> on the field, despite <strong>little chance of a comeback</strong>.</p>



<p>With <strong>1:04 left to play, Chris Godwin dislocated his ankle</strong> during a route. The wide receiver immediately <strong>fell to the ground</strong> and was carted off the field with his leg immobilized.</p>

<p>Now, NFL insider Ian Rapoport has confirmed that, after <strong>several evaluations</strong>, <strong>Chris Godwin will undergo surgery</strong> to repair his ankle. The wide receiver is set to <strong>miss the rest of the season</strong> and may have played his last game with the Bucs, as he is set to <strong>become a free agent in 2025</strong>.</p>



<h2>Will the Buccaneers re-sign Chris Godwin in 2025?</h2>



<p>Prior to this season, <strong>rumors suggested</strong> that the Buccaneers were interested in <strong>extending Chris Godwin’s contract</strong>. However, it seems that this <strong>injury might have ended his tenure</strong> in Tampa Bay.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Brandin Cooks</strong>’ $16.2 million salary may raise a few eyebrows, the journeyman wide receiver now with the Houston Texans had a disappointing first season, with 6 touchdowns. Cooks will need to produce more to earn that salary.</p>
<h2>12. Robert Woods – $16.250 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210914_BUS_175716_robert_woods_crop1631638067859.jpg_20222851_e9e6d762.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Robert Woods (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The versatile wide receiver is able to play make and go long to catch deep plays. <strong>Robert Woods</strong> is on a four-year deal with the Rams and with a little more help could be quite an impressive wide receiver. Woods is very underrated as his work rate is top notch.</p>
<h2>11. Mike Evans – $16.5 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210914_BUS_175716_mike_evans_crop1631638130066.jpg_20222851_817e1570.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Mike Evans (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Coming off of a big 2020 <strong>Mike Evans </strong>will be just as important for the champions as Tom Brady. Evans scored 13 touchdowns last season, his best output since 2016. Look for yet another 1,000 receiving yards season from Evans.</p>
<h2>10. Tyler Lockett – $17.250 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210914_BUS_175716_tyler_lockett_crop1631638201175.jpg_20222851_1ccde00a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Tyler Lockett (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Tyler Lockett </strong>is a franchise player for the Seahawks, recently signing a four-year contract extension. In 2020 Lockett scored 10 touchdowns and ran over 1,000 receiving yards for Seattle.</p>
<h2>9. Allen Robinson – $17.8 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210914_BUS_175716_allen_robinsonx_crop1631638280059.jpg_20222851_fe684821.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Allen Robinson (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It’s been a disappointing last few years for <strong>Allen Robinson</strong>, gone are the numbers from 2015, and last season he ran over 1,000 yards and scored half the touchdowns of 2015 for Chicago. Robinson is on a high salary and has been the victim of some poor QB support.</p>
<h2>8. Odell Beckham, Jr. -$18 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210914_BUS_175716_odell_beckhamx_jr__1_crop1631638397988.jpg_20222851_ee5120d8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Odell Beckham, Jr. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Odell Beckham, Jr.</strong> is looking to bounce back after a rather uneventful 2020, playing only 7 games, the Browns wide receiver is ready for a comeback year. The question is can he stay healthy and recapture the level of play of past seasons.</p>
<h2>7. Tyreek Hill – $18 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210914_BUS_175716_tyreek_hill_crop1631638524284.jpg_20222851_da087317.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Tyreek Hill (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Tyreek Hill </strong>is coming off of a career year with Kansas City, scoring 17 TDs and 87 receptions going well over 1,000 receiving yards. Hill is looking to make 2021 his year and at $18 million he is well worth his high salary.</p>
<h2>6. Kenny Golladay – $18 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210914_BUS_175716_kenny_golladay_crop1631638629944.jpg_20222851_afeca5f8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Kenny Golladay (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Giants <strong>Kenny Golladay </strong>comes to New York after four seasons with the Lions. Golladay was money in 2019, but before and after has been largely disappointing. Now in New York, the Giants showed they have faith in the 27-year-old, can he pay it back by finding his 2019 form?</p>
<h2>5. Michael Thomas – $19.250 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210914_BUS_175716_michael_thomas_crop1631638712682.jpg_20222851_c0f98d9b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Michael Thomas (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Michael Thomas</strong> has been a solid contributor for the Saints but had a 2020 to forget, injuries and punching C. J. Gardner-Johnson in practice were all she wrote last year for Thomas. He will need to rebound big time in 2021, but Thomas will be out for at least one third of the season due to injury.</p>
<h2>4. Amari Cooper – $20 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210914_BUS_175716_amari_cooper_crop1631638864723.jpg_20222851_d28d3765.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Amari Cooper (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>

<h2>2. Julio Jones – $22 million</h2>

<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210914_BUS_175716_julio_jones_crop1631639166146.jpg_20222851_3a9ca90e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Julio Jones (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The 32-year-old veteran still has spice in those legs as <strong>Julio Jones</strong> enters his eleventh season in the NFL. Last year Jones had an injury plagued season but still managed to score 3 touchdowns in 9 games. Jones will make a tough one-two punch with AJ Brown.</p>
<h2>1. DeAndre Hopkins – $27.250 million</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210914_BUS_175716_deandre_hopkins_crop1631639218283.jpg_20222851_f2524fcf.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    DeAndre Hopkins (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
