The MRI on Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Josh McCown returned and it revealed a significant sprain. The team doesn’t play for another 9 days, but that still might not be enough time for him to get back on the field.
Friday's MRI on Josh McCown's injured right thumb indicates a significant sprain, not a break. Bucs won't play for nine more days.

Do the fans even want him on the field at this point? After losing the first 3 games of the year and playing like trash in the 3rd game, do they want to see that mess again or do they want something new?
Lovie Smith still wants him to be the quarterback. When has Lovie Smith ever made a good decision on a quarterback though? His teams in Chicago were full of mistakes at the quarterback position. This already looks like a bad move to trot out McCown again if he is healthy. Time to go with the youngster and let him prove some things. Put Mike Glennon on the field now.
