Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving Absent from Buccaneers Practice

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers returned from their bye week with notable absences in practice. Key players Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving were sidelined ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots.

Injury Updates on Chris Godwin and Bucky Irving

Chris Godwin has been out for three consecutive games due to a fibula injury. He did not participate in practice on Wednesday, raising concerns about his return timeline.

Bucky Irving joined Godwin on the sidelines. He has missed four straight games due to foot and shoulder injuries. The absence of both players poses a challenge for the Buccaneers’ offense.

Additional Injury Concerns

  • Haason Reddick: Out due to ankle and knee injuries.
  • Markees Watts: Missed practice with a hand injury.
  • Luke Goedeke: Limited participation as he recovers from a foot injury.

Despite the injuries, several players participated fully in practice:

  • Lavonte David (knee, rib)
  • Luke Haggard (shoulder)
  • Baker Mayfield (knee, oblique)
  • Zyon McCollum (thumb)
  • Jacob Parrish (oblique)

The Buccaneers will aim to overcome these challenges as they prepare to face the Patriots in an important matchup. The team’s depth will be critical in addressing the injuries to Godwin and Irving.
