Updated Tampa Bay Buccaneers depth chart following injuries to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin

There's a lot going on with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, but almost no one is praising the return of the Creamsicles or the big division game against the Falcons. Most of the attention was focused darkly on the situation at wide receiver, which got pretty dire and dire on Monday night.

Over the course of 60 minutes, the Bucs lost both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin to injuries that will keep them out for an extended period of time. Evans is expected to be back after the bye week in November, but Godwin's season is over after he was placed on IR this week following ankle surgery.

That was a dark cloud looming over everything as the Bucs will be without their two best offensive weapons in what could be a challenging stretch of the schedule. Tampa Bay has upcoming games against the Falcons, Chiefs and 49ers – in order – following a 41-31 loss to the Ravens.

All of this has understandably led to serious concern, especially considering the Bucs will have to get creative with how the passing game evolves over the next few weeks.

Losing Evans and Godwin is brutal, but not fatal. Liam Coen has already pointed out that both cannot simply be replaced one-to-one, but rather through different schemes. That puts more pressure on the collective group of healthy receivers who have a chance to stand out and shine in the moment.

Here's a look at who the Bucs have:

Two players not on this depth chart will likely have to be relied upon quite heavily to keep the passing game alive. Cade Otton has already started to make some noise as a top target for Baker Mayfield, and without Evans or Godwin, that value will only increase.

Baker has relied on his tight end in the past and only recently started moving the ball with more confidence. It makes sense that without his two main targets, Baker will use Otton even more than he already does. The same could be true for Rachaad White, a guy many consider to be a better pass catcher than a running back, which will come in handy in the next few games.

It makes sense for White to embrace his hybrid role as a Christian McCaffrey-lite or Alvin Kamara-like threat.

However, the spotlight will be on rookie Jalen McMillan. He was taken out in the third round this year but hasn't been able to break through in Coen's offense yet. That could change quickly, as the stars are aligned for him to take the next big step toward establishing himself.
