TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert left Friday night's third preseason game against the Cleveland Browns with a shoulder injury and will not return, the team announced.
In the third quarter, on third-and-5, Gabbert was scrambling for 8 yards when Browns linebacker Adarius Taylor grabbed his ankle trying to make a tackle. Gabbert landed awkwardly on his arm. He immediately motioned for the training staff to come and left the field holding his left wrist.
He completed 4 of 5 passes for 33 yards, with third-string quarterback Ryan Griffin, the only remaining healthy quarterback on Tampa Bay's roster, stepping in.
