The Buffalo Bills announced Josh Allen will start at quarterback during their preseason game Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Allen was competing with Nathan Peterman for the starting role, after AJ McCarron suffered a collarbone injury during Friday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns. Both Allen and Peterman have been sharing reps with the first team in practice.
Buffalo traded up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in order to select Allen 7th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Allen went 9-of-13 for 60 yards and a touchdown during Friday's 19-17 win over the Browns. Peterman finished 8-of-10 for 113 yards and a touchdown.
