Coach Todd Bowles said Saturday that Godwin (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game at Houston, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Godwin logged his first practice reps Thursday since sustaining a dislocated left ankle Week 7 during the 2024 campaign, but he followed up that limited session with no activity Friday before Bowles made a ruling on his availability for Week 2. His next chance for game action arrives Sunday, Sept. 21 against the Jets, but he may need to practice on back-to-back days in order to put himself in a position to make his season debut. Mike Evans and rookie first-round pick Emeka Egbuka will continue to serve as the primary wide receivers for quarterback Baker Mayfield until Godwin is cleared to return.

Godwin (ankle) didn't practice Friday.

Godwin was limited Thursday in his first practice since suffering a dislocated left ankle Week 7 of last season, signaling that he was beginning to ramp up his conditioning. His next step in that regard likely will be taking part in drills on back-to-back days, which, because it didn't happen this week, may be an indication that he isn't a great candidate to return to action Monday at Houston. Ultimately, Tampa Bay can make a decision on Godwin's status for that contest when it posts its final Week 2 injury report Saturday.

Head coach Todd Bowles said Godwin (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Bowles also told Brianna Dix of the team's official site that the Buccaneers "will see how [Godwin and Tristan Wirfs (knee)] come along during the week," as both players "have a lot of tests to pass." Godwin got back on the practice field Thursday for the first time since dislocating his left ankle Week 7 of last season, and while he avoided the reserve/PUP list to begin the current campaign, the expectation for Godwin in particular was to give him a chance to return to game action by the end of September. Still, Tampa Bay seemingly is keeping the door open for Godwin to suit up Monday at Houston, assuming he clears the aforementioned hurdles.

Swift rushed 17 times for 53 yards and caught three of five targets for 12 yards in Monday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

Swift finished five yards shy of Caleb Williams' team-high rushing total and was the only Bears running back to record a carry, though rookie Kyle Monangai had one catch out of the backfield. While Swift seems locked into a high touch floor again due to a lack of competition, efficiency remains a concern, as he averaged a career-low 3.8 yards per carry last season and dipped to just 3.1 in Monday's small sample. Finding running room won't be easy Week 2 against the Lions, who held Swift to 59 yards on 20 carries (3.0 YPC) in two 2024 meetings.

Koo didn't travel with the team and won't play in Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Parker Romo -- who was elevated from the practice squad Saturday -- will be the Falcons' starting kicker. Koo missed a 44-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers. His struggles date back to last season when he connected on just 73.5 percent of his field-goal tries after hitting at least 86 percent in each of the previous five seasons.

Head coach Raheem Morris said Monday that the Falcons will work out some kickers this week after Koo missed a 44-yard field-goal attempt late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-20 loss to Tampa Bay, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. "You have to say [Koo is the kicker] right now, but we'll work out some veterans, we'll work out some up-and-comers," Morris said, highlighting Lenny Krieg, who is on Atlanta's practice squad, as a "developing prospect" for the team.

One of the more reliable kickers in the league from 2019 through 2023, Koo converted a career-worst 73.5 percent of his field-goal attempts last season. In Week 1, Koo connected from 41 and 36 yards before pushing what would have been a game-tying field goal wide right at the end of regulation. Though Krieg is part of the organization as a member of the practice squad, the Falcons could bring aboard a veteran kicker with prior NFL experience to pose a more serious threat to potentially unseating Koo atop the depth chart heading into Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.

Koo went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries during the Falcons' 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

Koo had no problem connecting on field goals from 41 and 36 yards in the second and third quarter, respectively. He had a chance to send Sunday's game to overtime, but his 44-yard field goal sailed wide right, allowing the Bucs to take a knee on the next play to seal the game. Koo is coming off a disappointing 2024 campaign in which he went just 25-for-34 (73.5 percent) on his field-goal attempts, including 6-for-9 on tries from 50-plus yards. He'll look to bounce back in Week 2 against the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 14.
