Long odds for Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Chris Godwin, Donovan Smith to play vs. New Orleans Saints

Although Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin and left tackle Donovan Smith haven't been ruled out for Sunday's game at the New Orleans Saints, coach Todd Bowles says that it is unlikely Godwin will play and that Smith faces tough odds.

"Donovan will be close. It will be hard for him to make it, but we'll see," Bowles told reporters Friday. "Rest of the guys, we'll see on Sunday."

Neither player practiced this week.

Godwin suffered a hamstring injury on Sunday at the Dallas Cowboys -- his first game back since suffering a torn ACL and MCL against the Saints in Week 15 last year.
