The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered more than just a loss to the Baltimore Ravens on "Monday Night Football."

After star receiver Mike Evans left the game early after reaggravating a hamstring injury, his counterpart, Chris Godwin, was carted off the field with 43 seconds left to play after suffering a gruesome ankle injury that the ESPN broadcast refused to replay. 

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles revealed it was a dislocated ankle that Godwin suffered, and the usual timeline for recovery from such an injury would have him out the rest of the season.

It was garbage time for the Buccaneers, who were down 41-31 and facing a third-and-17, when quarterback Baker Mayfield found Godwin in the middle of the field, and the receiver turned it upfield to gain the first down.

But while doing so, Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen rolled on Godwin’s leg, and one could see the direction of his left leg was not in the direction it should’ve been. 

Godwin was in obvious pain, as trainers and teammates quickly flocked to him to offer support. He was placed in an air cast on the field and carted off.

Godwin hauled in seven of his nine targets on the night for 65 yards, which gives him 576 receiving yards on the year – second-most in the NFL, only behind Cincinnati Bengals star Ja’Marr Chase.
