rest - https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/b...n-like-injury/The Bills quarterback situation has somehow gotten worse since the start of the season. Buffalo traded AJ McCarron to the Raiders during the preseason, electing to go with just rookie Josh Allen and second-year man Nathan Peterman as the only quarterbacks of record.
Allen's played well enough as a raw rookie with no discernible talent around him, but he suffered an elbow injury during Sunday's game that might be a serious long-term issue. Allen, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, suffered an injury to his ulnar collateral ligament, or his UCL. For those that don't know, a UCL injury is basically what requires baseball pitchers to undergo the famous Tommy John surgery.
Tommy John would be rare for an NFL quarterback, but it's happened before. Carson Palmer considered the surgery but elected not to have it, while Jake Delhomme underwent Tommy John. Terry Bradshaw dealt with an elbow injury late in his career too.
