While some of his teammates support a quarterback change following a 0-2 start, backup signal-caller Aj Mccarron expressed his support behind starter Andy Dalton. McCarron shared his view to the Paul Dehner Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer, saying Bengals fans should support Dalton, who went 36-of-66 for 394 yards and four interceptions in their two losses. Dalton made the call after it Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported that some Bengals players want the team to sign Colin Kaepernick as a replacement for Dalton.
Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis remains committed to Dalton as their starter, saying the team should make things better around him.
It was something that offensive coordinator Ken Zampese failed to do, forcing the team to fire him after two games. Lewis has already put Bill Lazor as the new offensive coordinator in place of Zampese, hoping that the change will jumpstart the team’s stagnant offense.
Bears won't bench Mike Glennon
Chicago Bears head coach John Fox said that the team will not bench starting quarterback Mike Glennon for rookie Mitch Trubisky after the team’s 29-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fox guaranteed that the Bears will go with Glennon as the starter against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Glennon went 31-of-45 for 301 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Buccaneers
Andrew Luck to miss Week 3 start
Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano confirmed that quarterback Andrew Luck will not play when they take on the Cleveland Browns.
The confirmation came as no surprise since Luck has yet to join practice since he underwent surgery in the offseason. Pagano also remains unsure when Luck will join practice. Jacoby Brissett is expected to start for the Colts for the second straight game. In Week 2, Brissett completed 22 of 40 passes for 267 yards and an interception in their 16-13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
According to veteran rusher Frank Gore, the Colts will be just fine with Brissett under center until Luck returns.
Bradford to return to Vikings soon
According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford’s injury is believed to be a bone bruise. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network Insider said Bradford can play in Week 3 if his knee responds to treatment.
Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said Bradford’s knee is fine and he could return to action anytime. Case Keenum started in their 26-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, completing 20 of 37 passes for 167 yards and no touchdowns.
