    Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie cornerback Johnthan Banks became the third member of the team diagnosed with a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday, according to two sources informed of the situation.

    On Friday, the league had no plans that would affect Sunday's scheduled game between the Buccaneers and the Philadelphia Eagles, NFL Media's Albert Breer reported.

    "Our office, the NFLPA, and appropriate medical specialists are working with the Buccaneers' medical staff to aggressively address the matter," the NFL said in a statement.

    Sweets's Take: Ok, another player comes down with this crap, when does the NFL take action and closed down the Buccaneers until they clean that crap up.
