Bills backup QB

The Buffalo Bills are seeking a new third-string quarterback after Shane Buechele sustained a neck injury during their preseason opener against the Chicago Bears, which will keep him out for an extended period. Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that Buechele, who played through significant pressure and was sacked six times, finished the game with 53 passing yards and an interception. The Bills are considering bringing in a replacement to avoid overexposing starter Josh Allen and backup Mitch Trubisky during the rest of the preseason. Possible candidates include familiar faces like Matt Barkley and Jacob Eason, as the team looks for someone to take snaps in the upcoming games against the Steelers and Panthers. Meanwhile, several other players are dealing with injuries, further complicating the team's preparations. The Bills aim to solidify their quarterback depth ahead of their next practice and game.
