The news from late Friday night didn’t sound good for AJ McCarron‘s bid to win the Bills’ starting quarterback job. As it turns out Nate Hairston Jersey , McCarron will return to the competition soon.
A second opinion revealed McCarron did not fracture his collarbone, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
That means he will get to resume his competition with Nathan Peterman and Josh Allen. Allen will start this week’s dress rehearsal game.
McCarron still might not win the job, but he won’t lose it by default.
