The Buccaneers will be without wide receiver Chris Godwin in Week 2.
Godwin (concussion) was officially ruled out by the team on Saturday after being considered doubtful on the injury report.
Godwin had six receptions for 79 yards in the Bucs' Week 1 defeat to the New Orleans Saints. While Godwin's presence will be missed, there was a bit of good news in regards to fellow wideout Mike Evans, who was taken off the injury report ahead of Week 2 after fully recovering from a nagging hamstring injury.
The Bucs signed cornerback Mazzi Wilkins from their practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. Wide receiver Cyril Grayson and tight end Tanner Hudson were also elevated from their practice squad.
Tampa Bay faces the Carolina Panthers in their home opener on Sunday, in search of their first win of the season with quarterback Tom Brady leading the way.
