Chiefs' Blaine Gabbert: Uninspiring in spot start
Blaine Gabbert completed 15 of 30 passes for 154 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Chargers. He added five rushes for 46 yards.The Kansas City Chiefs locked in the No. 3 seed in the AFC in Week 17, so they opted to sit a number of their starters in Sunday's win. Patrick Mahomes (coach's decision) was among the inactives, which allowed Gabbert to appear in his second game of the season. He posted an uninspiring stat line but did manage to lead the team on a game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter, based primarily on a few scrambles that picked up a combined 39 yards. He'll find himself back on the bench throughout the Chiefs' postseason run.

Chiefs' Blaine Gabbert: Week 18 start on tap
Head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Blaine Gabbert will start Sunday's game against the Chargers, Matt McMullen of the Kansas City Chiefs' official site reports.With the Chiefs secure as the No. 3 playoff seed in the AFC playoffs, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes will be rested this weekend, with an eye toward keeping him healthy for the wild-card round. Gabbert will thus step in for his first extended action with the Chiefs, as his lone appearance this season came in the second half of a blowout win over the Bears in Week 3. The 34-year-old Gabbert has made 48 career NFL starts, though Sunday's will be his first since the 2018 season.

Kansas City is slated to sign Blaine Gabbert, Pat McAfee of the Pat McAfee Show reports.With Chad Henne retiring after the team's Super Bowl win over the Eagles, Kansas City was in the market for a veteran backup to Patrick Mahomes.

Buccaneers' Blaine Gabbert: Another quiet season
Blaine Gabbert completed six of eight passes for 29 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions in one game during the 2022 regular season.The veteran didn't see action until the regular-season finale against the Falcons, when Tom Brady exited the game for good during the second quarter. Gabbert played on a one-year deal in 2022, and despite the fact there appears to be a good chance Tom Brady plays elsewhere in 2023, it's unlikely Gabbert is a serious contender for the starting job even if he's re-signed.

Buccaneers' Blaine Gabbert: Wraps up solid preseason
Blaine Gabbert completed five of seven attempts for 46 yards in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 27-10 preseason loss to the Colts on Saturday night.Gabbert was the second quarterback in with Tom Brady making his preseason debut, and the veteran backup was able to helm a nine-play, 81-yard scoring march that culminated in a Ke'Shawn Vaughn one-yard touchdown run. Gabbert saw action in all three exhibitions and was efficient in each one, and he'll open the season in the familiar and typically low-volume role of backing up the highly durable Brady.

Buccaneers' Blaine Gabbert: Back with Bucs
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers re-signed Blaine Gabbert on Wednesday.By bringing back Gabbert, who spent the past two seasons as Tom Brady's primary backup, the Bucs have retained all four quarterbacks they carried either on their active roster or practice squad last year. Gabbert won't necessarily retain his status as the No. 2 option on the depth chart, however, as 2021 second-round pick Kyle Trask is a candidate to push him for the top backup role in training camp.

Buccaneers' Blaine Gabbert: Praised by Arians following start
Blaine Gabbert started Saturday night's 34-3 preseason loss to the Titans and went 3-for-6 for 33 yards. He also fumbled once but recovered.Despite the unremarkable numbers and the near turnover, Carmen Vitali of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' official site reports Arians has been very pleased with the projected No. 2 quarterback's recent work. "I think Blaine has been really, really good," said Arians. "He had great practices against [the Titans]. If we catch the ball for him, he's going to take us right down the field and score again. So I've got all the confidence in the world." Gabbert saw action in four games last season and went 9-for-16 for 143 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, and he appears set to beat out Ryan Griffin for the top backup job for the second consecutive season.
