Buccaneers | Chris Godwin targeting Week 5 return Sun Sep 7, 12:13 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (ankle) recently underwent a second surgery on his ankle to tighten up hardware, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Judy Battista. He is expected to resume practicing soon and is targeting a return to action in Week 5, although a Week 6 or 7 return would not be out of the question, according to multiple sources.
Footballguys view: This was expected even though the Bucs did not put Godwin on IR-return to start the season. They knew he could miss the first four games, but wanted Godwin to be able to practice with the team. Emeka Egbuka should have a long runway to begin his NFL career with a very productive stretch. |

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder and does not have a definite timetable at this point, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He is seeking a second opinion to see if he can play while wearing a harness on his shoulder or if he will need surgery.
Footballguys view: However you slice it, this is a very disappointing start to the season for Worthy, and it's possible that his shoulder doesn't feel right all season. If he can play through the injury, he'll be less able to go up high for passes for fear of coming down on the injured shoulder, and he might be a little shy about taking hits on the shoulder after the catch. This could be another domino that eventually leads to the Chiefs bringing Tyreek Hill back. |
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins is scheduled to meet with the National Football League during the upcoming week regarding its investigation into his domestic violence incident. However, he is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 2 versus the Baltimore Ravens, according to a source.
Footballguys view: The Browns running game has fizzled against a vulnerable Bengals defense, so as long as Judkins is active, he should get a big opportunity against the Ravens in Week 2. |
Although Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter is expected to be used as an every-down wide receiver and situational cornerback in Week 1's game versus the Carolina Panthers, this pattern of how he splits his playing time may not necessarily reflect how he would be used in future weeks, according to multiple sources. The Jaguars are likely to determine his usage on a week-to-week basis in an attempt to keep their opponents off guard and force them to plan for every possible scenario.

New York Giants QB Jaxson Dart could make his NFL debut in Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders, according to multiple sources. The team has designed a package of offensive plays for him, although there's no guarantee that head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka will actually use him.
Link to storyUpdating previous reports, Green Bay Packers DE Micah Parsons (back) will be active for Week 1's game against the Detroit Lions despite being listed as questionable on the injury report. His workload will be limited, although it remains uncertain what percentage of the team's defensive snaps he will be on the field for, according to multiple sources. Parsons had taken part in all four of Green Bay's practice sessions during the week as a limited participant.
