Baker Mayfield: Buccaneers’ hearts are heavy seeing Chris Godwin’s injury

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin suffered a horrific ankle dislocation in Monday night’s loss to the Ravens, and quarterback Baker Mayfield said afterward that it hurts everyone on the team to see that.

“It just absolutely sucks. It sucks for our team, but Chris deserves better than that. He’s an incredible guy, an incredible teammate, he’s playing exceptionally this year. I have a heavy heart right now,” Mayfield said. “I don’t know what we’re going to do, but let some guys step up, but my thoughts and prayers are with Chris and his family right now.”

Mayfield said Godwin’s presence is special for everyone on the team.

“Chris is an incredible veteran. Obviously consistent in the field game, but what he does applies to the entire building,” Mayfield said. “Goes out of his way to teach the young boys and bring them under his wing. He’s someone anyone in the NFL would want on your team. That’s why this hurts.”
