Buccaneers' Chris Godwin and Tristin Wirfs will be absent for the Buccaneers' matchup against the Jets.
After a long absence due to injuries, Chris Godwin and Tristan Wirfs are set to return to the field for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both players participated in practice sessions this week, marking their first consecutive practice days since their respective injuries.
Godwin, who has been out since Week 7 of the 2024 season due to a leg injury, signed a new deal to stay with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the offseason. His return to practice is a welcome sight for the team, as he is one of their top wide receivers.
Wirfs, who underwent knee surgery in the summer, has also been sidelined. However, his return timeline is similar to that of Godwin, and both players are expected to be back in action soon.
Despite the return of these key players, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will not see them in action for their Week 3 matchup against the New York Jets. The team has not had Godwin or Wirfs on the field in 2025, and their absence has been felt.
To help fill the voids on the offensive line, Charlie Heck, Elijah Klein, and Graham Barton are expected to step up. Ben Bredeson and Mike Jordan remain the only starting interior linemen for the team.
Unfortunately, the team has also had to deal with injuries to other players. Cody Mauch and Luke Goedeke have been placed on injured reserve, adding to the team's woes.
Despite these challenges, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are still favored to beat the Jets by a touchdown. Emeka Egbuka, who appeared on the Week 3 injury report, has returned to practice and may be available for the game.
The return of Godwin and Wirfs is a positive development for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but their absence for Week 3 is a setback. Fans will be eagerly awaiting their return to the field and the impact they will have on the team's performance.
