The Buffalo Bills are expected to start Matt Barkley in Sunday's game against the New York Jets after Josh Allen was ruled out with an elbow injury, the team announced Saturday.

Barkley will become Buffalo's fourth starter of the season after Allen, Nathan Peterman, and Derek Anderson and will enter the lineup just 11 days after signing with the team.

Peterman started last week against the Chicago Bears and threw three interceptions in the 41-9 loss, taking his season tally to seven on just 81 attempts.

Josh McCown will also likely get the start for the Jets with rookie Sam Darnold nursing a sprained right foot.
