Bowles Explains Godwin's Playing Time: "He's Still Getting Back"
It's been a tough season for Chris Godwin. After an amazing 2022 campaign, he's been in and out of the Bucs' lineup this year, dealing with a hamstring injury. Many fans have been scratching their heads, wondering why he hasn't been playing more. Well, Bucs head coach Todd Bowles finally gave us some insight into the situation.
"Chris is still getting back," Bowles explained after the Bucs' recent win. "He's making progress, but he's not 100%. We're not gonna rush him back out there and risk another setback." It's clear that Bowles and the Bucs are taking a cautious approach with Godwin, prioritizing his long-term health.
This makes sense, right? You don't want to risk a star player like Godwin getting re-injured, especially with the playoffs on the horizon. But it's also frustrating for fans who want to see him out there making plays.
The good news is that Godwin is getting closer. Bowles hinted that he might be able to play more snaps in the coming weeks. "We're gonna see how he feels and take it day by day," he said. "But hopefully, he'll be able to contribute more as we head towards the playoffs."
So, what does all this mean for Bucs fans? We gotta be patient. It's gonna take some time for Godwin to get back to his best. But once he is, the Bucs will be a much more dangerous team. And hopefully, it'll be sooner rather than later.
I'm really hoping we see Chris back to his old self soon! The Bucs need him if they want to make a run at the Super Bowl. Go Bucs!
