The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set for a major boost ahead of a crucial NFC showdown.

Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is expected to return for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers after he did not receive an injury designation Friday.

"I think Godwin's gonna go," head coach Bruce Arians had said earlier Friday, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine. "People don't realize how big a part of our offense he is."

Arians added that Godwin was able to practice all week. Godwin missed the last two games with a hamstring injury and previously missed another contest due to a concussion.

The 24-year-old Pro Bowler has 11 catches for 143 yards and a touchdown in two starts this season.

Meanwhile, running back Leonard Fournette was listed as questionable due to a lingering ankle injury.
