Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face some of their toughest competition of the season on Sunday against Aaron Rodgers and the 4-0 Green Bay Packers.

It'll be even if tougher if the team is without wide receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. While Evans has been deemed a game-time decision, Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians believes that Godwin is "going to go" after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury.

"I think Godwin's going to go," Arians said. Said Miller, Evans, both Davises, Fournette, Whitehead likely game-time decisions.

In total, Godwin has seen 11 receptions for 143 yards and one touchdown this season. He hasn't played since Week 3 against the Denver Broncos.

Evans, on the other hand, has played all five games for the Bucs this season, reeling in two receptions for 271 yards and six touchdowns.

Arians could also be without wide receiver Scotty Miller, running back Leonard Fournette, safety Jordan Whitehead and cornerback Carlton Davis, who are dealing with various injuries.
