Unfortunately, Packers legend player will miss the next game due to a serious injury.

Unfortunately, Packers legend player will miss the next game due to a serious injury.

Chris Godwin, a wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was listed on the injury report on Wednesday ahead of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. He didn’t practice that day due to a knee injury, and he didn’t practice on Thursday either. Godwin is expected to miss Sunday’s game against Green Bay.

This season, he has played a significant role in the Buccaneers offense. This season, Chris Godwin has caught 58 passes for 659 yards and one touchdown. He has 96 targets this season and is averaging 11.4 yards per reception. Godwin is one of quarterback Baker Mayfield’s top targets.

With his injury, keep an eye on rookie wide receiver Trey Palmer as the backup to Mike Evans this weekend. Trey Palmer has 28 receptions for 244 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 8.7 yards per reception.

Palmer has shown some flashes for the Buccaneers offense this season, but Godwin is by far a better number two than he is.

One of the things the Packers’ defense will need to do this weekend with Godwin possibly being sidelined is double-teaming Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans. Quarterback Baker Mayfield is going to force-feed him this weekend possibly and Green Bay is going to have to try and limit his damage and make other wide receivers, running backs, and tight ends beat them in the passing game.

Evans has caught 62 passes for 1,020 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns so far this season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has been over 1,000 yards receiving in every single season in his NFL career. Evans is also averaging 16.5 yards per reception and has been targeted 109 times this season.

Jaire Alexander was back at practice for Green Bay on Thursday. He has missed the last five games for them. That would be huge for the Packers if he is able to return and cover him and also have some help over the top. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers possibly not having Chris Godwin in the passing game is a huge blow to them.
