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.’

‘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.’

‘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.’

‘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.’

‘In that time in the second quarter and the early third, Allen looked poised and comfortable. Perhaps it was because he got his feet wet in one preseason game already and that he knew what to expect this time around, but he looked as though he was playing with much more confidence.’

‘”The center and snapper got hurt,” he said. “I was playing defensive end at the time but not really playing and getting on the field as much as I would have liked. I figured if I put enough practice in, it might be a good way to get myself on the field.”‘

‘McCarron left plenty to be desired, failing to gain a first down and amassed just 22 yards in his four series. While he finished out his drives, McCarron completed just three of his six attempts for just 12 yards.’

‘Well, first of all don’t sell me short. I also played NFL Street 3. It’s a really good game, too. I love playing it. We ran a simple offense at Arizona so we could go out there and play hard and fast. I got to the NFL game and we started running plays with inserts, and with a fullback — I never had a fullback, lead power and I was like ‘what is going on.’ It was as learning curve but it was the same stuff I had at Arizona.’
