Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin suffered a gruesome ankle dislocation during Monday night’s loss to the Ravens. Following the game, quarterback Baker Mayfield expressed the emotional impact of Godwin’s injury on the whole team.
“It just absolutely sucks. It sucks for our team, but Chris deserves better than that. He’s an unbelievable guy, unbelievable teammate, he’s been playing extraordinarily this year. I’ve got a heavy heart right now,” Mayfield said.
Mayfield acknowledged the challenge that lies ahead for the team in Godwin’s absence.
“I don’t know what we’re going to do but have some guys step up, but thoughts and prayers with Chris and his family right now,” he added.
According to Mayfield, Godwin’s presence is vital to the team’s dynamic.
“Chris is an unbelievable veteran presence. Obviously consistent on-field play, but what he does goes throughout the whole building,” he stated. “He goes out of his way to teach the young guys and bring them under his wing. He’s somebody that anybody in the NFL would want on your team. That’s why this hurts.”
