Positive Update Regarding Buccaneers' Wide Receiver; Early Season Return a Strong Possibility

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin participated in 7-on-7 drills today. It's a small but very significant step for Godwin. 

#Bucs WR Chris Godwin took his first reps in 7-on-7 drills today. He caught all his targets & looked smooth in his cuts & running routes. The man who tore his ACL 8 months ago is back! The Bucs will continue to take it slow with him but he should be ready by the season opener.

Godwin is working his way back from a torn ACL, suffered last December. 

Coach Todd Bowles has not said whether the twenty-six-year-old receiver will be ready for the season opener, but this marks a very promising step in his recovery. 

Godwin finished last season with 98 receptions, 1,103 receiving yards and five touchdowns. 

He should be ready to go early on in the season, as long as his recovery continues to progress smoothly.
