Green Bay may face undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels at quarterback in Week 4 against Tampa Bay after Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Baker Mayfield dislocated his right thumb. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Mayfield was likely to miss time; an MRI was due the next day.
Mike Florio of NBC Sports reported Mayfield had no fracture; the article said the injury's seriousness still put his Week 4 availability in doubt. Green Bay is 1-2 after a three-touchdown loss to Atlanta, in which it surrendered nearly 500 yards of total offense.
Green Bay will also be without pass-rusher Micah Parsons, who is on injured reserve for at least one more week. The team said he might return in Week 5 or almost certainly by Week 6. Right tackle Zach Bako-Bewele is out for the season with a knee injury, while guard Aaron Banks has a toe injury and has played only part of one game. The Packers added guards Cordell Volson and Laken Tomlinson from practice squads; their run game is averaging fewer than 50 yards per game and has not scored a touchdown.
