Jason Licht Talks Chris Godwin And Tristan Wirfs “Football Movements”
August 23rd, 2025
So All-World left tackle Tristan Wirfs and receiver Chris Godwin are injured but will not go on the physically unable to perform list to start the 2025 season.
Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht confirmed that tonight and talked about the decision.
“We think part of their rehab, with these particular injuries, they need to be out there taking some reps getting used to football movements, which will come sooner than later with both of them,” Licht told the Buccaneers Radio Network. “So you never know how these rehabs go. They can be a little quicker than you think, last a little bit longer. But we’re very, very happy where both of them are right now.”
Joe was happy to hear Licht speak on his two injured superstars, and the GM had a little excitement in his voice. However, Joe was a little shaken when Licht dropped the ol’ “you never know.”
If Godwin and Wirfs went on the PUP list, the Bucs would get to use their roster spots but then neither would be able to practice with the team, not even walk-throughs.
Licht is right. Even if Godwin and Wirfs won’t be ready until Week 5, they’ll be a lot better prepared for that game in Seattle with the extra practice time with teammates.
