Report: Bills' Josh Allen Appears in Line to Start vs. Vikings; Barkley Not Elevated

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen may be in line to start against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday despite suffering an injury to his throwing elbow against the New York Jets last week.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Bills did not elevate quarterback Matt Barkley from their practice squad prior to the 4 p.m. ET deadline on Saturday, meaning Allen and Case Keenum are the only quarterbacks who can be active for Buffalo on Sunday.

Buffalo technically could start Keenum and dress Allen as the backup, but Rapoport characterized the non-move as a "sign" Allen is set to start.
