The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have already ruled wide receiver Chris Godwin out for Saturday’s game against the Houston Texans with a hamstring injury suffered in last week’s win over the Detroit Lions.
Godwin, the third year receiver out of Penn State, will likely be held out over the team’s final two games rather than risk further injury. If it is the end of Godwin’s season, he finishes the year with career highs across the board in receptions (86), receiving yards (1,333) and touchdowns (9).
His breakout season not only earned him the respect of fantasy football owners everywhere, but also a spot in the Pro Bowl, his first selection. Godwin joined fellow receiver Mike Evans and linebacker Shaq Barrett on the roster.
Godwin took to Instagram the other day to voice his appreciation.
Two of his fellow Bucs teammates replied to his IG post, showing their support.
Given the hamstring injury, it remains to be seen whether or not Godwin participates in the event.
Tampa Bay will look to down the Texans on Saturday with a depleted receiving corps to pull their record above .500 for the first time this season.
