AJ McCarron injured in Buffalo Bills’ preseason game
‘After the game, Buffalo coach Sean McDermott said he didn’t know the nature of McCarron’s injury. When asked at his postgame press conference if McCarron had suffered a fractured collarbone, McDermott said: “All I really know is he hurt his right shoulder, and we’ll get some more tests when we get back (to Buffalo).”‘
Report: Former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback AJ McCarron suffers collarbone fracture for Buffalo Bills
‘“In a perfect world, you’d love to know by Game 3,” Beane said. “That’s your dress rehearsal game. But we just can’t artificially put someone there. Because the players, they watch the film. They’re out here in practice and they go against each other. So if we artificially put somebody in there before it’s settled, then I don’t think that’s going to jive well in the locker room.”’
Bills QB AJ McCarron suffers hairline fracture in collarbone, per report
‘Bills general manager Brandon Beane said earlier in the week he hoped the team would be able to decide on a No. 1 soon.’
QB scramble: McCarron injured as Bills down Browns 19-17
‘McCarron completed just 3 of 6 for 12 yards during four series, and Buffalo’s offense gained only 22 yards on 12 plays while he was behind center.’
Bills QB McCarron goes down with collarbone injury
‘It is unclear how long McCarron will be sidelined, but presumably he will be out for a while.’
Report: Bills QB AJ McCarron fractures right collarbone vs. Browns
‘McCarron signed a two-year, $10 million contract with Buffalo in March after four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. The deal included a $4 million signing bonus, a fully guaranteed $900,000 base salary in 2018 and $1.1 million of his 2019 base salary guaranteed for injury.’
Bills quarterback AJ McCarron reportedly suffers hairline fracture of his collarbone
‘And so, that means that either Allen or Nathan Peterman will likely emerge with the Bills’ starting job heading into the regular season. After the Bills’ preseason opener, the race appeared to be between Peterman and McCarron — and it was Peterman who looked the most impressive at the time. But Friday night might’ve changed the race.’
Report: Bills Quarterback A.J. McCarron Suffers Hairline Fracture of Collarbone
‘The former Bengals quarterback has spent the preseason leading Buffalo’s depth chart, battling rookie Josh Allen and second-year passer Nathan Petterman for the top spot.’
AJ McCarron injury update: Bills QB suffers collarbone fracture, report says
‘Mccarron was favored to start this season after spending his career as a Bengals backup, but a collarbone injury could keep him out most of the season. Just ask Aaron Rodgers.’
Gameday – Bills win 19-17, McCarron injured in the win
‘Allen and the first team offense had more success, driving down the field with a combination of some solid passes by the rookie and some big plays from running back Marcus Murphy. It was Allen who helped cap off the drive, with a touchdown pass to Rod Streater from 2 yards out to tie the game at 7.’
The Bills’ Allen and Peterman played well in the preseason win over Cleveland
‘One of the things I’ve liked about Allen in the preseason is he doesn’t get flustered. On his second play, the play didn’t get communicated to him fast enough, but he kept his wits and called a timeout.’
Capaccio: Bills-Browns: In front of and behind the sticks
‘Allen had such a nice night, people either seemed to forget about or not even pay attention to what Peterman did. He was excellent, going 8-for-10 for 113 yards and a touchdown. Through two preseason games Peterman is now 17-for-20 for 221 yards. Friday night he played most of the second half, mostly with the third-team offense, and threw the ball on time, with rhythm, usually finding the open receiver.’
Kyle Williams leaves preseason game with injury
‘Williams took a hard hit in the 2nd quarter where his knee was rolled on by an opposing player. He was on the field surrounded by trainers who were working on his right knee. He got up and limped noticeably off the field on his own followed by trainers. He wound up going to the locker room and was later ruled out with a knee injury.’
