Bills place QB Matt Barkley on season-ending injured reserve.
The Buffalo Bills have placed QB Matt Barkley on season-ending injured reserve. This wasn't a strategic move; the team needs a third quarterback soon to learn the system. Barkley, who was in tight competition with Kyle Allen for the backup spot behind Josh Allen, was injured in the second preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although initially listed as day-to-day by head coach Sean McDermott, Barkley was inactive for the final preseason game. While being placed on IR before the season technically ends a player's season, there are potential loopholes. The Bills could offer Barkley an injury settlement and re-sign him after a set period.
