Baker Mayfield: The Buccaneers' heart has been weighed down by Chris Godwin's injury
Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin suffered a horrific ankle dislocation during Monday night's loss to the Ravens, and quarterback Baker Mayfield said afterward that it hurt everyone on the team to watch.
“It's absolutely depressing. It's sad for our team, but Chris deserves better. He's an incredible guy, incredible teammate, he's playing tremendously this year. I've got a heavy heart right now,” Mayfield said. “I don't know what we're going to do but some people are moving forward, but thoughts and prayers are with Chris and his family right now.”
Mayfield said Godwin's presence is special to everyone on the team.
“Chris is an incredibly experienced presence. Obviously consistent on the field, but what he does goes throughout the building,” Mayfield said. “He goes out of his way to teach young guys and bring them under his wing. He's somebody that anybody in the NFL would want on your team. That's why it is. It hurts.”
