Report: Bills Expected To Name QB E.J. Manuel Starter For Week 1

P. Schrager reports that his sources have informed him that Bills HC Doug Marrone is expected to name first-round pick E.J. Manuel the starting quarterback for Week 1.

Manuel was able to participate in Monday’s practice, but undrafted rookie free agent Jeff Tuel did receive some reps.

Manuel underwent a knee scoop close to a month ago, so it will be interesting to see how he performs against the Patriots defense.
