Bucs wide receiver Chris Godwin underwent successful knee surgery, according to a report by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Godwin, who is the team’s leading receiver with a career-high 98 catches for 1,103 yards and five touchdowns, suffered a torn ACL and PCL injury in Tampa Bay’s 9-0 loss to New Orleans three weeks ago. The procedure was performed by world renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews.

According to Rapoport, Godwin did not suffer any damage to his meniscus, which is good news. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Godwin, the Bucs’ franchise player, is playing on a one-year deal that pays him $15.983 million. He will be an unrestricted free agent in March and it is expected that the Bucs will be negotiating a long-term deal with Godwin’s agent over the next few months.

Godwin plays the slot wide receiver position, which is the most important role in Bruce Arians’ offense. In his five-year career in Tampa Bay, Godwin has 342 receptions for 4,643 yards and 29 touchdowns. Godwin just completed his second 1,000-yard season with the Bucs, and he has made one Pro Bowl in his career, which came after the 2019 season.
