Rookie QB Allen working with starters in Buffalo

Josh Allen is taking a turn with the first-team offense on Monday in what the Buffalo Bills envision as a rotation at quarterback with Nathan Peterman.

Head coach Sean McDermott said Monday morning he would give each quarterback time with the starters as AJ McCarron seeks a second opinion on his fractured collarbone.

McDermott said the Bills are seeking a third quarterback with the expectation McCarron will miss significant time, but won't rule him out until medical confirmation is received.

"Just one day at a time here and then we'll go from there. We'll see. If healthy, then we pick up where we left off," McDermott said.

Allen was drafted seventh overall out of Wyoming, but the Bills also signed McCarron as a free agent with the expectation Allen could be given time to work into the starting spot.

McCarron was injured in the first quarter of Friday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns.

The Bills traded their starting quarterback from the past three seasons, Tyrod Taylor, to the Browns in the offseason and signed McCarron in free agency four days later.

Peterman, a second-year player out of Pittsburgh, started two of the four games he appeared in as a rookie. He finished 2017 with 252 passing yards, two touchdowns, and five interceptions, posting a 38.4 passer rating while completed 24-of-49 passes. All five of the interceptions came during the first half of a game against the Los Angeles Chargers in November.
