Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin had to be carted off of the field late in the Buccaneers’ 41-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Godwin took a shot from Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith with less than one minute to play in the ‘Monday Night Football’ clash. ESPN declined to show a replay of the hit, and after coming back from a brief commercial break, the broadcast showed Godwin on a cart with his left leg in an air cast.

The injury was a major blow for a Buccaneers team that also lost receiver Mike Evans to a hamstring injury earlier in the game.

After the game, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles told reporters that Godwin has a dislocated ankle, which will keep the receiver out indefinitely.

Chris Godwin injury update

Godwin appeared to suffer a lower leg injury in the Buccaneers’ 41-31 loss on ‘Monday Night Football.’ There was less than one minute remaining in the game when the receiver went down and required assistance from medical personnel.

ESPN didn’t show a replay of the hit by Smith on Godwin, and the exact nature of the injury was initially unknown. Godwin needed to be carted off of the field and had his left leg in an air cast.

After the game, Bowles told reporters that Godwin dislocated his ankle and ‘it doesn’t look good.’ The receiver’s status going forward is unclear.

Who is Chris Godwin’s backup on Buccaneers’ depth chart?

Godwin and Evans both went down with lower body injuries during ‘Monday Night Football’ in Week 7.

The third receiver on the Tampa Bay depth chart is rookie Jalen McMillan, and behind him are Trey Palmer and Sterling Shepard.

Rakim Jarrett and Kameron Johnson are both on injured reserve, meaning McMillan, Palmer and Shepard are the only healthy receivers the Buccaneers have ahead of a Week 8 divisional clash with the Atlanta Falcons.

Chris Godwin stats

Godwin had 50 catches for 576 receiving yards and five touchdown catches in 2024 prior to his injury. The catch total leads the NFL, the yards total is second behind Ja’Marr Chase and the touchdown total is tied for third.

The receiver had seven catches for 65 yards during ‘Monday Night Football’ before suffering his dislocated ankle late in the fourth quarter.

The Arizona Cardinals kept the Los Angeles Chargers out of the endzone and used a last-second kick to win 17-15 on the ESPN+ exclusive version of ‘Monday Night Football.’

One look at the stat sheet and people would think Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert dominated the game after completing 27-of-39 passes for 349 yards against a defense that has been poor. But the Arizona defense changed the narrative by using the bend but don’t break mentality, not allowing a single touchdown on the night. The only damage Los Angeles could do came on the leg of Cameron Dicker, who made five field goals on the night.

The Cardinals offense has struggled in recent weeks, and it didn’t look much prettier in Week 7, but the unit converted key plays when needed. Quarterback Kyler Murray threw and ran for a touchdown, while running back James Connor was the X-factor of the night as he made critical plays that got Arizona down the field. Murray and Connor combined to run for 165 of the team’s 181 rushing yards.

Murray said on the ESPN broadcast it was a ‘must-win game,’ and with the victory, they are in great position after a few sloppy weeks.

Now at 3-4, the win suddenly puts Arizona back in contention in the NFC West. The Cardinals are just one game behind the first-place Seattle Seahawks and have wins over the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams. On the other side, the Chargers fall to 3-3, their third loss in their last four games. The schedule is favorable in the coming weeks, but Los Angeles missed a golden opportunity to stay above .500.

The loss is also a rare one for Jim Harbaugh. In his NFL coaching career, he was 6-0 on ‘Monday Night Football’ games heading into the night. Now, he starts a business week with a defeat.

Chargers vs. Cardinals highlights

Arizona wins on last-second field goal

Chad Ryland had no problem drilling a 32-yard field goal as the clock expired to give the Cardinals a 17-15 victory over Los Angeles.

Arizona gets into Los Angeles territory in final minutes

The Cardinals are setting up for a potential game-winning score.

Now down 15-14, Arizona used a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty and a 33-yard James Conner reception to get into Los Angeles territory, well into field goal range. Now the home team can control the clock to set up a game-winning field goal.

Chargers’ fifth field goal gives 15-14 lead

Los Angeles nearly went the entire length of the field, but instead added another field goal and now lead 15-14 with just under two minutes left.

The Chargers started at their own one-yard line, and Justin Herbert was methodical in getting Los Angeles into Arizona territory. The team even converted a fourth-and-one, but when faced with a fourth-and-four at the 22-yard line, the Chargers decided to send out Cameron Dicker for another field goal. He made a 40-yarder for his fifth make of the night to cap a 15-play drive that took more than seven minutes.

Chargers add another field goal, trail 14-12

Cameron Dicker has done it all for Los Angeles, and he has trimmed the deficit to two points.

The drive got off to a great start, with Justin Herbert finding Stone Smartt for a 31-yard gain to get into Arizona territory. However, they weren’t able to move the chains again and had to send the field goal unit out. Dicker knocked in a 47-yard field goal for his fourth kick of the day.

Kyler Murray runs into endzone: Arizona leads 14-9

Kyler Murray finally broke through.

Facing a deficit, the Arizona quarterback scrambled and turned on the jets for an electric 44-yard touchdown run in the opening minute of the fourth quarter. Murray wasn’t touched on the big run and just like that, the Cardinals are back out in front.

Chargers add field goal to retake lead, 9-7

Los Angeles still hasn’t found the endzone, but it now has the lead heading into the fourth quarter.

The Chargers took advantage of the good field position thanks to Cameron Dicker making his third field goal of the game, the latest a chip shot 28-yarder. Los Angeles got in the redzone, but couldn’t do anything once it got there and had to settle for the field goal.

Justin Herbert nursing possible thumb injury

The right thumb of Justin Herbert could be causing the Chargers quarterback some issues.

The Los Angeles training staff was examining Herbert’s thumb on the sideline and he appeared to be in pain. Herbert hasn’t missed any action, but it is something to watch for in the second half.

Cardinals get stuffed on two tush pushes

The tush push is one of the most successful plays in the NFL when needed to get a few yards, but the Chargers didn’t let the Cardinals get a first down on back-to-back plays.

Clayton Tune tried the play on a third-and-one near midfield but didn’t get anything. The Cardinals tried the play again and it was unsuccessful, giving Los Angeles the ball in Arizona territory.

Halftime: Cardinals 7, Chargers 6

Cameron Dicker kicked a 50-yard field goal as the clock hit zero in the second quarter to make it a one-point game headed into halftime.

The touchdown drive from Arizona in the second quarter was its best drive of the day, but it hasn’t been able to produce much before or after it. Luckily, the defense has kept Los Angeles from scoring a touchdown, including the critical Chargers fumble in the endzone. Justin Herbert is having a solid day with 172 passing yards on 13 completions, but the ground game has been limited to just 25 yards.

Kyler Murray is 9-for-16 with 74 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Joshua Palmer makes spectacular catch

What a way to get the two tip-toes in.

On the final drive of the first half, Justin Herbert found Joshua Palmer down the sideline and the receiver managed to get both feet in for a 24-yard gain.

Cardinals get in endzone, lead 7-3

After a stagnant start, Arizona put up its best drive of the day for a touchdown to take the lead over Los Angeles.

It was a 10 play, 79-yard drive that included Kyler Murray missing a play due to an injury and a fumble Arizona was able to recover. On the final play, Murray found Greg Dortch just beyond the goal line for a five-yard touchdown pass.

The drive was mostly carried by James Connor, who accounted for 43 of the yards.

Cameron Dicker drills long field goal, Chargers lead 3-0

The first points of the night tied some Chargers history.

Kicker Cameron Dicker had no problems making a 59-yard field goal to make it a 3-0 Los Angeles lead. The field goal also tied the longest field goal in franchise history, first set by Michael Badgley in 2018.

End of 1Q: Chargers 0, Cardinals 0

The scoreboard didn’t move in the first quarter thanks to two punts from Arizona and two fumbles from the Chargers.

Los Angeles’ offense has looked much more crisp early. Justin Herbert 6-for-6 with 101 passing yards, but the fumble into the endzone ended the scoring chance on the first offensive drive. The Chargers have the ball near midfield to open the second quarter.

Chargers fumble goes into endzone

Los Angeles is having a tough time holding onto the ball, and it just cost them a touchdown.

Justin Herbert launched a deep-ball to a wide open Jalen Reagor just a few yards from the goal line. But as he made his way toward the endzone, it got punched out by Arizona’s Starling Thomas V, and it bounced right past the goal line and out of bounds, resulting in a touchback and Cardinals’ ball.

That’s now two fumbles on the day already for Los Angeles.

Chargers intercept Kyler Murray, and then fumble in chaotic sequence

The Chargers had the ball, and then they didn’t.

On the opening drive of the game, defensive tackle Teair Tart picked off Kyler Murray and appeared to give his team the ball. However, a few moments later, Cardinals running back James Connor punched the ball out of Tart’s hands and it rolled down the field. It was eventually recovered by Michael Wilson to give Arizona the ball back. It means first down for the Cardinals – but 31 yards back from where the wild play began.

Joey Bosa injury update

(Correction: This story was updated to clarify that Matthew McConaughey is a University of Texas alum but not did not play football there.)

One of college football’s biggest regular season games between then-No. 1 Texas and then-No. 4 Georgia was briefly delayed on Saturday after Texas students threw trash onto the field at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium.

On Monday well-known Texas alum and Longhorns ‘Minister of Culture’ Matthew McConaughey issued a statement on X (formerly Twitter) directed toward Texas students, calling the incident ‘not cool’ and a ‘bogey move.’ He also said Longhorn Nation is ‘better than that.’

‘First off, you were electric Saturday night when we hosted Georgia. Bravo. Let’s continue to bring it. Even though our Horns didn’t get the W, you created a measurable home-field advantage,’ wrote McConaughey, who has been a constant figure at Texas games in recent years.

‘But let’s get real about the bottle bombing the field glitch we had. Not cool. Bogey move. Yeah, that call was BS, but we’re better than that. Longhorn Nation knows how to show up, show out like no other, and still keep our class. So, going forward, let’s clean that kind of BS up and leave that behind us for good. We have to shake hands on that.’

The play that led to the incident McConaughey is referencing came in the third quarter, when officials made a controversial defensive pass interference call against the Longhorns. The call was then overturned following the delay on the field, which got Georgia coach Kirby Smart rather furious about postgame.

The SEC announced on Sunday that Texas fined $250,000 for Saturday’s game interruption as a violator of its sportsmanship, game management and alcohol availability policies. The conference is also requiring Texas to use all resources to determine which fans were throwing objects, with those identified being banned from all Texas events during the 2024-25 athletic year.

‘The throwing of debris and resulting interruption of play that took place Saturday night cannot be part of any SEC event,’ SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said. ‘The SEC is assigned responsibility by its membership to enforce its sportsmanship and game management policies and these actions are consistent with that oversight responsibility, including the financial penalty and mandated reviews.’

Matthew McConaughey issues statement on Texas-Georgia game

McConaughey graduated from Texas in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in Radio, TV and Film. He was given his ‘Minister of Culture’ title by the university in 2019 and has taught several courses at Texas over the last few years.

Here’s a full look at what McConaughey said in his post on X on Monday:

With the loss, Texas (6-1 overall, 2-1 in SEC play) fell to No. 6 in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll that was released on Sunday. The Longhorns will travel to No. 25 Vanderbilt (5-2, 2-1) on Saturday for a 3:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

The San Francisco 49ers wide receiver room continues to be hit hard.

Coach Kyle Shanahan revealed to reporters Monday that wide receiver Deebo Samuel has pneumonia.

“Deebo Samuel, he had kind of an odd illness, some fluid in his lungs so technically pneumonia,” Shanahan said. “We’ll see how he, he’s in the hospital still and we’ll see how he recovers here over these next couple days.”

There’s no timeline for Samuel to return.

Shanahan said Samuel first started feeling symptoms Sunday morning. The 49ers announced just before their Week 7 tilt against the Kansas City Chiefs that Samuel had an illness but was expect to play. Samuel gave it a go but was pulled during the second quarter. The 49ers lost to Kansas City, 28-18.

All things 49ers: Latest San Francisco 49ers news, schedule, roster, stats, injury updates and more.

The versatile wideout has 20 catches, 335 receiving yards, one touchdown reception, 51 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown this season.

Samuel’s pneumonia diagnosis means the 49ers have health concerns with their top two wide receivers.

Shanahan confirmed that Brandon Aiyuk tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee and will be out for the remainder of the season.

“I talked with him last night, just calling him at his house. I haven’t seen him (Monday). But he was hurting, just bummed out,” Shanahan said of Aiyuk. “Exactly how you’d expect. But B.A. is a strong dude and a spiritual guy and believes everything happens for a reason, so he’ll be alright. But definitely a little down last night and I was just telling him how bad I felt for him and just let him know we’re all here for him through this.”

The 49ers are dealing with a string of injuries to some of their top players. Running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles, calf) and linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) have yet to play this season. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (triceps) is out for the year and safety Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) is sidelined.

The 49ers host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night in Week 8.

No NBA team has repeated as champion since Golden State did it in 2017 and 2018, and no America-born player has won MVP since James Harden in 2018.

Will that change this season? Boston is in great position to repeat with its returning core led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

The MVP is another story. Tatum and Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards are the U.S. players best positioned now to compete for the award, but the favorites were still born outside of the U.S. – Dallas’ Luka Doncic, Denver’s Nikola Jokic, Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid, Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo and Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

But that’s why the games are played. Who will reach the NBA Finals? Who will win the title? MVP? Rookie of the Year? Sixth Man of the Year? Coach of the Year? Most Improved? Clutch Player?

There is not universal consensus. However, every expert, except one, on this panel picked Boston to win the East and return to the Finals, and every expert, minus one, predicted San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama will win Defensive Player of the Year.
