TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be without wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr . and running back Bucky Irving when they face the Detroit Lions next week in a "Monday Night Football" clash between two of the NFC's top teams.

"Chris is not in play to practice, so I'm sure he won't be back," Bucs coach Todd Bowles said Monday, adding that the same is true for Irving.

Godwin is dealing with a fibula injury that Bowles has described as "week to week," while Irving is dealing with a foot sprain and a shoulder subluxation. Both players missed the Bucs' 30-19 victory Sunday over the San Francisco 49ers .

Bowles also said Emeka Egbuka will undergo an MRI on Tuesday to determine the severity of a hamstring injury that forced the rookie wide receiver to miss the second half Sun
