Denny Carter unpacks the reports of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers activating Chris Godwin from the PUP list, detailing how the move impacts other wide receivers on the team heading into the new season.

Palmer has some explosive playmaking, but his role is likely to be supplanted by that of Tez Johnson now. It is going to be tough to make this roster as a wide receiver. Those who do will have earned it but with snap counts dwindling, the odds are against Palmer at this point as Davenport writes.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will start the season with All-Pro WR Chris Godwin on the 53-man roster but he won't play until October.

WR Chris Godwin still isn’t expected to be back playing for at least another month or so after recovering from a dislocated ankle last season. However, Tampa Bay is reportedly taking a step toward Godwin’s return.

Emeka Egbuka has been turning heads this training camp and preseason, and the Bucs get ready for Week 1 in the coming weeks. The team is likely to use him right away, while Chris Godwin Jr. is nursing his ankle back from the injury he suffered in 2024, and now Jalen McMillan is placed on injured reserve.
