The Buffalo Bills might have a mountain of trouble on their hands if a curveball comes their way in the form of a mishap with their star quarterback, Josh Allen.
An Unexpected Hurdle
Backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who returned to the Bills’ fold after a pit stop with the Steelers, has run into a snag—a knee injury picked up on familiar turf in Pittsburgh. Described as “week-to-week” by the team, this could spell uncertainty for Buffalo’s plans.
Next Man Up?
Picture this: Trubisky hobbling into practice, a substantial brace cocooning his left leg, as he fights to steady the ship beneath him. With no concrete update beyond the dreaded “week-to-week,” the Bills are on high alert. Week 1 is knocking on the door, and they need a fallback option ready to step in at a moment’s notice.
Although some folks consider it taboo—or even a jinx—to ponder the “what if” of Allen getting injured, let’s face it: Last season saw a wave of starting quarterbacks sidelined. It’s crucial for the Bills to have a seasoned substitute with actual game snaps under his belt. Enter Trubisky—or so it was thought.
Ben DiNucci and Anthony Brown: Unproven Depth
For now, the Bills are banking on Ben DiNucci and Anthony Brown. DiNucci’s resume includes three regular-season outings and a lone start… four years ago. Brown isn’t much better off, with two appearances and one start from last season under his belt. The Buffalo brass have some soul-searching to do here.
In Search of Stability
The free-agent pool isn’t brimming with flawless options. As rosters cut down to 53 in just a few days, the Bills’ front office will have eagle eyes peeled, ready to pounce on potential trade targets. If Trubisky’s side-lining lasts into the regular season, betting the farm on inexperienced backups could be a wager Buffalo can’t afford to lose.
