Packers Catch Huge Break Ahead of Buccaneers Matchup
The Green Bay Packers desperately need a win against the Buccaneers in Week 4. The post Packers Catch Huge Break Ahead of Buccaneers Matchup appeared first on HEAVY.
The Green Bay Packers suffered a significant setback against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football, falling 3-0 at home. Quarterback Jordan Love's team now has just 10 days to prepare for their next game, a trip to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers. In the latest injury news, Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield dislocated his right thumb, potentially sidelining him for the upcoming matchup.
If Mayfield is out, rookie Jalon Daniels, an undrafted rookie, will take over at quarterback for the Buccaneers. The Packers, meanwhile, face a host of injury and performance concerns on offense as they battle through a difficult stretch of games. Quarterback Jordan Love will miss additional time, while offensive line struggles have hampered the Packers' ability to control the run game.
The absence of pass-rusher Micah Parsons, on injured reserve, will also be felt during the upcoming game. While the Packers have made some roster moves to address their issues, including signing Cordell Volson and adding Laken Tomlinson from the Dallas Cowboys, significant challenges remain before their Week 4 encounter with the Buccaneers.
