Introduction: Chris Godwin

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris
Godwin had to be carted off of the field late in
the Buccaneers’ 41-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Godwin took a shot from Ravens linebacker
Roquan Smith with less than one minute to play in the
“Monday Night Football” clash. ESPN declined to
show a replay of the hit, and after coming back from a
brief commercial break, the broadcast
showed Godwin on a cart with his left leg in an air cast.

The injury was a major blow for a Buccaneers team that also
lost receiver Mike Evans to a
hamstring injury earlier in the game.

After the game, Buccaneers head coach
Todd Bowles told reporters that Godwin has a
dislocated ankle, which will keep the receiver out indefinitely.
