ORCHARD PARK — Tyrod Taylor will start behind center for the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, head coach Sean McDermott confirmed today.
“Tyrod is in a situation where he’s good to go and will start Sunday against the Dolphins for us,” he said.
Taylor’s backup Nate Peterman remains in concussion protocol, making the decision to start Taylor easier. The rookie practiced on a limited basis Wednesday and fully on Thursday, but has still not reached the final step of the return-to-participation protocol, which is medical clearance and full football activity.
“We’ll continue to monitor that going forward,” said McDermott of Peterman.
McDermott did leave open the possibility that Peterman could pass the remaining tests required for medical clearance prior to Sunday’s game, but at this point in time Joe Webbwill serve as the number two quarterback Sunday.
