The Green Bay Packers (1-2) will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield dislocated his right thumb and is likely to miss the game, potentially paving the way for rookie Jalon Daniels to start. The Packers, coming off a three-touchdown loss to the Atlanta Falcons, have 10 days to prepare. Green Bay's recent performance has raised concerns, particularly regarding their offensive line and run game, averaging under 50 rushing yards per contest this season.
