Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles: LT Donovan Smith, WR Chris Godwin avoided serious injuries

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Monday that left tackle Donovan Smith has a hyperextended right elbow and his availability will be dictated by his pain tolerance level.

Bowles also said that he does not believe Pro Bowl wide receiver Chris Godwin's hamstring injury -- which he suffered in the second quarter -- is "as serious as we thought it was."

It was Godwin's first game back since recovering from a torn ACL and MCL, which he suffered on Dec. 19 last season, and undergoing surgery Jan.
