There’s been tons of speculation as to when Buccaneers’ wide receiver Chris Godwin would return having torn his ACL in December of 2021. In an age of the NFL where a torn ACL doesn’t mean what it used to, it’s still better to view it as a twelve month injury. Many players can return before that year is up, but they aren’t always truly 100%. In Godwin’s case, he appears to be inching closer and closer to that plateau.
While he has participated in individual drills over the last three practices but abstained from team drills, Godwin looks more and more comfortable on that surgically repaired knee while sporting a full brace to protect it.
