Buccaneers' Chris Godwin carted off field in game's final minute vs. Ravens with apparent leg injury

Tampa Bay lost both Godwin and Evans on Monday night

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in the midst of a nightmare Monday night after losing both of their top two wide receivers against the Baltimore Ravens in a 41-31 Week 7 home loss. Mike Evans (hamstring) went down early in the first half, and Chris Godwin went down with a significant leg injury with 1:04 left to play.

Godwin's injury ocurred on a 21-yard catch-and-run with Tampa Bay trailing by 10, 41-31, which ended up being the game's final score. The injury was gruesome enough that the ESPN broadcast did not show a replay of the moment Godwin went down. He was in the midst of having a career year, leading the NFL in catches (50) while ranking second in receiving yards (576) and tied for third in receiving touchdowns (five). Evans' six receiving touchdowns are co-leading the NFL along with Bengals superstar Ja'Marr Chase. 

Tampa Bay may be more aggressive prior to the NFL's Nov. 5 trade deadlines after quarterback Baker Mayfield's top two targets go down with serious lower body injuries. The Buccaneers next men up include nine-year veteran Sterling Shepard, 2023 sixth-round pick Trey Palmer and 2024 third-round rookie Jalen McMillan.
