Will Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin Return in Week 10?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hope to get two key offensive players—wide receiver Chris Godwin and running back Bucky Irving—back for their Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots.
Injury Status of Bucs Stars
The Buccaneers are dealing with several injuries on offense coming out of their bye week. Both Godwin and Irving have missed multiple games recently.
- Bucky Irving has not played since Week 4 due to foot and shoulder injuries. He was initially expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks.
- Chris Godwin is recovering from a fibula injury sustained before Week 5. His status is considered week-to-week.
- With Mike Evans also out for an extended period, Godwin’s return becomes even more significant for the team’s offense.
Latest Updates on Week 10 Availability
“Irving is not practicing on Wednesday, so he's off to a bad start to the week and is on track to not play yet again.”
Rick Stroud of The Tampa Bay Times reported that Irving is not expected to participate in Wednesday’s practice, dimming hopes for his Week 10 return.
No definitive decision has been made regarding either player’s participation in the upcoming game.
Summary
The Buccaneers’ offense will remain challenged in Week 10 as both Irving and Godwin face uncertain returns, with Irving unlikely to practice and Godwin’s status still week-to-week.
Author’s note: The Bucs face a critical test without clear returns for two offensive anchors, which may impact their Week 10 game plan significantly.
