The Buccaneers and Tom Brady are hoping to shake their less-than-spectacular recent record against the Saints as they travel to New Orleans for an early-season NFC South battle this weekend.
However, Tampa Bay will have to stave off its division rival without one of its key offensive stars.
The Bucs announced Friday that wide receiver Chris Godwin will not play in Sunday’s tilt after suffering a hamstring injury in last week’s season opener against the Cowboys. Godwin did not participate in practice at all this week, casting doubt on his status for the Week 2 matchup against the Saints.
