Buccaneers quarterback Josh McCown will miss at least one game with a significantly sprained right thumb, ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas reported on Saturday.

McCown was injured in Thursday night's 56-14 loss in Atlanta when he hit his throwing hand on a defender's helmet after releasing a second-quarter pass. McCown, who was unable to grip the ball, was replaced by second-year man Mike Glennon.

Glennon is expected to start in McCown's absence.

The 24-year-old Glennon threw for 2,608 yards, 19 touchdowns and nine interceptions as a rookie last season, starting 13 games. 

Tampa Bay (0-3) visits the Steelers (1-1) next Sunday.
