AI outlookSlot WR2 in a run-leaning TB offense; second-most-targeted receiver behind Egbuka; recurring ankle/fibula injury history offsets healthy 2026 offseason reports.
Multiple Buccaneers WRs Managing Injuries/Soreness in CampRoto Street Journal
Godwin, Egbuka, McMillan, and Johnson all missed/left practice at points this week managing soreness/injuries - crowded, banged-up WR room.
Pros / cons +
Pros
- Returns to a familiar, high-snap slot role under new OC Zac Robinson with no reported lingering injury
- Projected second-most targets on the team behind Egbuka in a WR room that no longer includes Mike Evans
- ESPN (Jeremy Fowler, Aug 2026) reports the Bucs feel he has regained his explosiveness
- Clean 2026 offseason with no rehab required, unlike 2025
Cons
- Recurring lower-leg injury pattern: dislocated ankle/fractured fibula (Oct 2024), re-aggravated fibula in 2025 (2 games played, 5 missed) -- availability risk even though no hard injury-tier rule matches
- Age 30, inside the soft WR decline window for volume/separation receivers
- Zac Robinson scheme history (Atlanta 2024-25) ranked bottom-third in PROE and run-leaning, capping team pass volume
- Emeka Egbuka expected to lead the WR corps in targets, limiting Godwin's target ceiling
