Uplifting words from Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht tonight.
Licht visited the Buccaneers Radio Network and talked about how great receiver Chris Godwin has looked in practice. Godwin will play tonight and likely will be on a “pitch count” against the Rams, Licht said.
Licht also said receivers Mike Evans (broken clavicle) and Jalen McMillan (broken neck bones) are on track to return this season. He did not offer potential dates or timelines. But Licht was very upbeat about them.
The GM also said starting left guard Ben Bredeson (hamstring) and Bucky Irving (ankle/shoulder/personal) will be back, too. Licht said Irving could be as early next Sunday.
Joe was damn excited to hear about receiver cavalry on the way and very intrigued by the Godwin practice performance evaluation (more on that after the game). The Bucs have a chance to be a wickedly dangerous playoff team.
