Chris Godwin suffered what appeared to be a serious injury and had to be dragged off the field with one minute remaining in the Buccaneers' 41-31 loss to the Ravens on Monday Night Football.
Godwin caught a pass over the middle from Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield, but was brought down by a Ravens defender near Tampa's 39-yard line.
It was clear that the wide receiver was in severe pain, barely able to lift himself up, and remained on the ground hitting his head on the field while teammates came to check on him.
As the camera zoomed in on Godwin, ESPN broadcaster Joe Buck exclaimed, “Oh no.” “He can't get up.”
The Buccaneers believe he dislocated his ankle, but According to ESPN.
Godwin's lower left leg was pinned under Roquan Smith's body during the takedown, and his ankle appeared to be bent in an odd position.
A team trainer was seen arriving shortly after to check on Godwin.
After being examined by trainers, Godwin was placed in an air cast and removed from the field on a cart.
The Buccaneers were trailing 41-31 at the time of the injury, and Kurt was given a standing ovation as he made his way down the tunnel to the Tampa locker room.
Godwin entered Monday night's game as one of the NFL's top receivers in yards and receptions, with seven receptions for 65 yards.
His five touchdown catches are tied for second in the league.
To add insult to injury, the Bucs had already lost Mike Evans to an injury earlier in the night, and he was hurt trying to catch a touchdown late in the second quarter.
He was immediately ruled out of the remainder of the match.
Tampa Bay fell to 4-3 on the season with Monday night's loss to the Ravens.
