ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen remains in concussion protocol following a hit to the head from New England Patriots safety Jonathan Jones, coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday.
McDermott also said Allen would participate in individual drills, suggesting the former first-round draft pick has progressed to Step 4 of the league's Return-to-Participation protocol - which allows players to engage in football-specific activities. Allen will be in meetings with the team throughout the day, as well.
Backup quarterback Matt Barkley will work in with the Bills' first-team offense; McDermott said the team is "extremely confident" in Barkley should Allen be unable to play Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
