Baker Mayfield is going to be on the sideline for a while. The Buccaneers quarterback dislocated the thumb on his throwing hand Sunday, and head coach Todd Bowles confirmed Monday he's out at least three weeks. Tampa Bay's offense takes a significant hit as they try to stay afloat in the NFC South.
Shifting to New York, the Giants made a move at quarterback, acquiring J.J. McCarthy from Minnesota in exchange for a two thousand twenty seven fifth-round pick. The former first-round selection never truly got his footing with the Vikings, and now he gets a fresh start with a Giants franchise still searching for its answer under center.
And up in Green Bay, the Packers are reinforcing a struggling offensive line by signing veteran Mekhi Becton. This is the second former first-round lineman Green Bay has added recently, a clear signal that the front office knows protecting Jordan Love is non-negotiable if this team wants to compete for the NFC North and beyond.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
