Broncos Swap Kickers – NFL Roundup

UNDATED (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have bolstered their offensive line by getting six-time Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins from the New England Patriots for tight end Tim Wright and a draft pick. The deal comes less than 24 hours after the Bucs met with Richie Incognito to try to determine if one of the central figures in the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal might be an answer to their problems at guard. General manager Jason Licht did not rule out the possibility of signing Incognito after getting Mankins.

Elsewhere around NFL training camps:

— The Denver Broncos have found a replacement for suspended kicker Matt Prater (PRAY'-tur), acquiring rookie Brandon McManus from the New York Giants for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2015. The Broncos also released kicker Mitch Ewald, who missed an important field goal in Saturday's 18-17 preseason loss to Houston. Prater was banished for the first four games of the season for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

— New York Giants left guard Geoff Schwartz has a dislocated right big toe and will be in a walking boot for a week to 10 days. Schwartz signed a four-year, $16.8 million contract in the offseason and will begin rehabilitation after he gets out of the boot. He was hurt in Friday's game against the Jets.

— Buffalo has released Thad Lewis and signed fellow quarterback Jordan Palmer, who was cut by the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Lewis went 2-3 last year while filling in for injured rookie starter EJ Manuel.

— The New York Jets have suspended cornerback Dimitri Patterson for the rest of the preseason after he left the team last week for 48 hours without speaking to anyone in the organization.
