Godwin went down in the final minutes of Monday night's loss to the Ravens.
and the incident is even harder to stomach than normal considering that he was out there running routes when the game's outcome was already decided. That element has caused some debate over Todd Bowles' decision to keep him in the contest but all the arguing won't do anything to change the bottom line that this is a major hit to the Bucs' chances in the NFC.

Hopefully he's able to be as productive when he returns from the setback.Kyle Koster is an assistant managing editor at Sports Illustrated covering the intersection of sports and media.
