Buccaneers Injury Updates: Irving, Godwin Out for Week 7 vs. Lions
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing multiple injuries ahead of their Week 7 game against the Detroit Lions. Running back Bucky Irving has been ruled out due to foot and shoulder injuries, missing his third consecutive game. Irving, who had accumulated 237 rushing yards before his injury, has not practiced since Week 4 and is in danger of missing more time. The team has not placed him on injured reserve, indicating a possible return after their Week 9 bye. Wide receiver Chris Godwin will also miss his fifth game of the season due to a fibula injury, ruling him out for the upcoming Monday Night Football matchup. Godwin has struggled to make an impact this season, catching only six of 14 targets for 52 yards. The Buccaneers' injury report includes other key players like Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka, who are listed as questionable. The team will rely on other running backs, such as Rachaad White, Sean Tucker, and Josh Williams, to fill the void in Irving’s absence. Tampa Bay currently holds a 5-1 record and is competing strongly in the NFC, but injuries continue to challenge their roster depth. The Buccaneers aim to bolster their offense and maintain their winning streak despite these setbacks.
