Matt Barkley – Noteworthy
QB Matt Barkley will make his first start for the Buffalo Bills when they visit the New York Jets on Sunday. The Bills announced Saturday that rookie quarterback Josh Allen was ruled out after being limited in practice all week. He hasn’t played since suffering an elbow sprain during a 20-13 loss at Houston on Oct. 14. Barkley, who starred at USC, was a fourth-round pick by Philadelphia in the 2013 draft. He appeared in four games with the Eagles. He didn’t play while with Arizona in 2015 and 2017 and appeared in seven games (six starts) with Chicago in 2016, last starting a game in that season’s finale. Barkley played with Cincinnati this preseason but was beat out for the back-up job by Jeff Driskel. For his career, Barkley has completed 58.6 percent of his 266 pass attempts with eight touchdowns and 18 interceptions.
