Easton Stick on Point in Preseason Opener

Baker Mayfields’ day came to a screeching halt on Sunday at the end of 4th quarter on a scramble drill where he dislocated his thumb on his throwing hand. Baker immediately went to the locker room for X-rays which showed no fractures and did not return.
In his absence, expect to see undrafted rookie QB Jalon Daniels start as he is the only other quarterback on the roster, while Easton Stick is currently on their practice squad. This will be a situation to monitor as Baker Mayfield is hoping to miss just three games and return for the Buccaneers Week 7 game against the Panthers, but given the injury is affecting his throwing hand, three games is highly optimistic.

Justin Herbert, quarterback of the Los Angeles Chargers, will not play on Thursday Night Football as the team faces the Las Vegas Raiders. Backup Easton Stick will get the start.
Herbert fractured a finger on his throwing hand in the Chargers’ dismantling at the hands of the AFC West rival Denver Broncos. Adam Schefter reports that Herbert will miss the TNF tilt and will seek further evaluation of his injury.
Stick outplayed Herbert in relief duty and finished 13 of 24 for 179 yards passing, with zero turnovers, after Herbert exited the matchup including two completions to rookie WR Quentin Johnston for 57 and 22 yards each.
