Source: Bucs WR Godwin likely out against 49ers

"He played the entirety of last Sunday's 38-35 win over the Seattle Seahawks, but was seen limping on the field late in the game. Coach Todd Bowles said earlier in the week that he was "sore," because it was just his second game back. Godwin suffered a dislocated left ankle in Week 7 last year, later undergoing two surgeries to remedy the injury."

"The team will continue to rely on rookie wideout Emeka Egbuka, who has five touchdowns through his first five NFL games. He had 163 receiving yards, a touchdown and a two-point conversion against the Seahawks. The Bucs will also lean on Sterling Shepard, who had the game-tying touchdown against Seattle late in the fourth quarter and whose 191 receiving yards are second among receivers on the team."

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers expect to be without wide receiver Chris Godwin against the San Francisco 49ers due to a fibula injury; he has not practiced all week. Godwin played the entirety of last Sunday's 38-35 win over the Seattle Seahawks but was seen limping late, and he previously suffered a dislocated left ankle in Week 7 last year that required two surgeries. The team will rely on rookie Emeka Egbuka, who has five touchdowns in five games, while Sterling Shepard, rookie Tez Johnson and tight end Cade Otton will see increased roles. Mike Evans and Bucky Irving remain out, and Rachaad White filled in with two touchdowns.
