Bills Rule Out Derek Anderson, Starting Nathan Peterman

The Buffalo Bills have officially ruled out QB Derek Anderson from Week 9 and will start Nathan Peterman.

Last week,  Adam Schefter reported that Anderson suffered a concussion which would lead to Peterman starting, so this does not come as a surprise.

Peterman actually won the Bills’ starting job coming out of the preseason, but was replaced soon after by rookie Josh Allen.

Peterman, 24, was taken in the fifth-round of last year’s draft by the Bills. He signed a four-year, $2.63 million contract and stands to make a base salary of $555,000 for the 2018 season.

In 2018, Peterman has appeared in three games for the Bills and completed 40.6 percent of his passes for 108 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions.
