Buccaneers star wide receiver Chris Godwin was a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time since dislocating his ankle last October against the Saints, leaving the door open for his season debut on Sunday against the Eagles.

Godwin, who signed a new contract in Tampa Bay this offseason, has yet to play this season as he's continued to recover from surgery on the ankle dislocated that prematurely ended his 2024 campaign.

Godwin caught 50 passes for 576 yards and five touchdowns last season before getting injured. He had recorded 1,000-plus receiving seasons in four of the prior five years before his injury.

He will certainly be a welcomed addition back into the starting lineup, whether that's Sunday against Philadelphia or on Oct. 5 against the Seahawks.
