If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are going to beat the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, they are going to have to do it without a pair of dynamic playmakers.
Receivers Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (knee) were ruled out at halftime of Sunday's contest, which came as the Bucs trailed the Saints 6-0.
Godwin has dealt with minor ankle, foot and knee injuries this season but has suited up for every game. He's played at a near-Pro Bowl level as part of the Bucs' explosive offense, recording 98 receptions for 1,103 yards and five touchdowns.
