Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Wide receiver Chris Godwin joined his teammates on the practice field Friday for the first time since suffering a torn ACL in Week 15 last year. Godwin wore a brace on his right knee and participated in some drills with the wide receivers. He was not placed on the PUP list to start camp, but the plan has been to take things slowly. Wide receivers coach Kevin Garver told ESPN, "I thought he looked good. It's gonna be a process for him. Take it one step at a time. But for this part of the process, he looked great." Wide receiver Mike Evans left practice early for what head coach Todd Bowles says is likely a "tweaked hamstring." Quarterback Tom Brady did not take part in practice because of a personal matter, the team said. Brady will also not be taking part in next week's preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins, Bowles said, and he anticipates several starters will also sit out after two days of joint practices next week. -- Jenna Laine
