The Buffalo Bills waived Nathan Peterman on Monday, ending the tenure of the team's 2017 fifth-round pick who became known for his historically high rate of interceptions.

Peterman, 24, appeared in eight games in his two seasons in Buffalo and made four starts. On 130 career regular-season pass attempts, Peterman has thrown three touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He also threw an interception on one of his three pass attempts in last season's AFC wild-card playoff loss.

Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott says rookie quarterback Josh Allen will reclaim the starting job should he be healthy when the team returns from its bye week off.

McDermott made the announcement Monday, a day after journeyman backup Matt Barkley threw two touchdowns in a 41-10 win at the New York Jets. As well as Barkley played in his first start in two years and two weeks after signing with Buffalo, McDermott stressed Allen is the starter and his continued development is important. The Bills will host the Jags on Nov. 25.

Cardinals RB Kerwynn Williams (quadricep, ribs, questionable) will play today. Elijhaa Penny and D.J. Williams may see some extra work regardless.

Peterson won't go today with a neck issue after missing practice all week. We think Williams takes over the early-down duties while Foster handles passing downs.

Cardinals quarterback Drew Stanton practiced Tuesday, though Blaine Gabbert also took some reps with the starters, Bruce Arians said via Darren Urban of the team website.

Arians said Stanton, who has a sprained knee, will have “to show he can stay out of harm’s way” to make his third start of the season.

The Cardinals aren’t ruling out Stanton, though.

“Drew is extremely tough,” General Manager Steve Keim said on Arizona Sports 98.7. “He’s the type of guy I would not bet against.”

The Cardinals signed Matt Barkley in case Stanton can’t go.

We had a story earlier today from ESPN that indicated the Cards should just play Gabbert as he has more of a chance to be a factor in the team's future at the position. The Cards feel Stanton gives them the best chance to win but at 4-5 it's going to be a tough climb.

Sources: Drew Stanton sprained his knee Thursday. Blaine Gabbert would start at Houston in Week 11 if Stanton can’t go. Matt Barkley is being brought back.

The Cardinals could at least stay afloat for fantasy production over the past couple weeks with Carson Palmer out, but if Stanton can't play, it's going to make it even tougher for the fantasy relevant Cardinals weapons.

I personally feel that Matt Barkley has performed well enough in his first three starts to at least be considered for the starting quarterback position next season. He’s impressed me (and the Bears) with his poise and accuracy, especially late in games. He’s also shown a real good awareness in the pocket and the ability to sidestep pressure. If not for a couple dropped passes and holding penalties, the Bears very well could be 3-0 in Barkley’s starts, not 1-2.

With that being said, there are still three games remaining and a lot could change between now and the end of the season. I’d like to see Barkley continue to improve while avoiding turnovers like he’s done in his last two games against the 49ers and Lions.

Barkley was projected as a top pick in the draft before returning to USC for his senior season, but fell to the fourth round a year later after suffering a shoulder injury. Barkley was drafted by the Eagles, but didn’t really fit into Chip Kelly’s spread offense and never really got a chance to show what he could do in Philadelphia.
