Josh McCown (thumb) officially out for the game.
— Around The NFL (@AroundTheNFL) September 19, 2014 McCown appeared to hit his hand while following through on a throw. McCown, who is starting his third game with the Buccaneers after being signed away from the Chicago Bears in the offseason, has endured a tough start to his Tampa Bay career. He entered the night with two touchdowns against three interceptions, and then threw a pick-six to corner Kemal Ishmael.
Considering the Buccaneers are down 35-0 in the second quarter, it is unlikely that head coach Lovie Smith will bring McCown back if there is any injury at all. Second-year quarterback Mike Glennon is in the game replacing McCown. Glennon played in 13 games last season, throwing for 2,608 yards and 19 touchdowns with nine interceptions.
