Some disgruntled Bills fans have been calling for the team to start rookie Nathan Peterman, a fifth-round pick from Pittsburgh, at quarterback. Peterman has turned heads in the preseason, but for now the top spot appears firmly in Tyrod Taylor’s hands.
Taylor, however, was knocked out of Buffalo’s preseason game against Baltimore Saturday with a concussion. He took the hit from Ravens linebacker Matthew Judon on Buffalo’s second offensive series. See video of the third-down play below.

Peterman stepped in to replace Taylor. Taylor, the former Virginia Tech standout, finished the game 1 for 3 for 1 yard in his return to Baltimore.

This is the latest in a string this weekend of key contributors getting hurt. The Patriots’ Julian Edelman and Chiefs’ Spencer Ware both suffered knee injuries Friday.
