Report: Chris Godwin Had Surgery on Finger Injury; Won't Play for Bucs vs Giants

wide receiver suffered a fractured left index finger in his team's 45-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7 and underwent surgery, according to the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud.

Stroud reported Godwin injured the finger on his four-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. He'll be out for Monday's game against the New York Giants but might return for the Bucs' Week 9 clash with the New Orleans Saints.

After a breakout year in 2019, when he had 86 receptions for a career-high 1,333 yards and nine touchdowns (also a high) to lead the Buccaneers in all three, he was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his three-year career.
