Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin to undergo ankle surgery this week

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is scheduled to undergo ankle surgery this week and sidekick Mike Evans could miss time with a hamstring injury that required an MRI exam on Tuesday. The day-after feels around One Buc Place in Tampa were dismal due to the injuries, coupled with a 41-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Head coach Todd Bowles defended his decision to have Godwin, the NFL's leader in receptions this season, in the game with the Buccaneers chasing 10 points and 59 seconds remaining. "We've got our guys. We're playing everybody we've got. It's unfortunate he got hurt, but he's a football player and he wants to be in the game, just like Baker (Mayfield) and everybody else wanted to be in the game," Bowles said.
