Buccaneers star WR Chris Godwin on Week 1 status: 'I don't think any of us know that yet'

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys will conclude Sunday's Week 1 action in the NFL as they square off on "Sunday Night Football" at 8:20 p.m. ET. As of Tuesday afternoon, the Bucs still don't know if they'll have the services of star wide receiver Chris Godwin.

A Pro Bowler in 2019, Godwin missed the final three games of the 2021 NFL season after suffering a torn ACL. He returned to practice for the first time just one month ago and shed his knee brace for the first time on Monday.

Despite missing time last year, Godwin finished the season by leading Tampa Bay in targets (127), receptions (98) and receiving yards (1,103). His target and reception totals were career highs.

If healthy, Godwin is slated to line up in three-wide sets alongside Mike Evans and newcomer Russell Gage.
