In a refreshing change from the recent run of bad injury news, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers received a positive update on wide receiver Chris Godwin.
The initial belief was that Godwin would remain on the PUP list as he continued to recover from a dislocated ankle that required two surgeries. That designation would have automatically sidelined him for the first four games of the season.
For awhile, it seemed like a foregone conclusion. Godwin was not expected to be close to returning, and keeping him on the PUP list would have saved a roster spot as final cuts approached.
