Report: Godwin to miss MNF following finger surgery

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin will miss Monday's contest against the New York Giants after undergoing surgery for a fractured left index finger, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

Godwin could return for Tampa Bay's Week 9 clash against the New Orleans Saints.

The 24-year-old reportedly suffered the injury during the fourth quarter on Sunday while securing a four-yard touchdown catch. He was able to finish the game, which the Bucs won by a score of 45-20 over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Godwin amassed nine receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown during the contest.

He missed a pair of games earlier this season due to a hamstring injury he suffered against the Denver Broncos in Week 3.
