What's next for Baker Mayfield and the Bucs after losing Mike Evans, Chris Godwin?

Injuries piling up for Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been hit hard by injuries at the wide receiver position, with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both expected to miss significant time. Evans is dealing with a calf injury that could keep him out for up to eight weeks, while Godwin is recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 1. Losing two of their top playmakers is a major blow to the Buccaneers' offense, which was already struggling to find its footing in the early going.

Mayfield's struggles continue

Baker Mayfield has struggled mightily since taking over as the Buccaneers' starting quarterback. In three starts, he has completed just 57.1% of his passes for 488 yards, with one touchdown and three interceptions. He has also been sacked 11 times. Mayfield's struggles have been a major factor in the Buccaneers' 1-2 start, and the loss of Evans and Godwin is only going to make it more difficult for him to succeed.

Buccaneers looking for answers

The Buccaneers are now looking for answers at the wide receiver position. They have signed veteran Julio Jones, but he is still recovering from a knee injury and is not expected to be ready to play for at least a few weeks. The Buccaneers may also look to trade for a wide receiver, but that could be difficult given the limited options available.

Tough road ahead for Buccaneers

The Buccaneers have a tough road ahead of them, especially with Evans and Godwin out. They face a difficult schedule in the coming weeks, with games against the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens, and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Buccaneers will need to find a way to replace the production of Evans and Godwin if they want to have any chance of making a run in the playoffs.
