Fromm did not practice with his teammates Wednesday as part of a planned social distancing schedule, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nothing is wrong with Fromm, but the Bills' major fear -- which is the same as a lot of other teams -- is that an entire quarterbacks room would be ineligible if COVID-19 makes its way though the group and the team would be forced to start an emergency (and unprepared) quarterback in a given week. The Bills and a lot of other teams plan on doing this periodically so someone like Fromm would likely be virus-free should the team's top two quarterbacks not be cleared to play.

Fromm survived the Bills' roster cutdown Saturday and looks to begin the season as the team's No. 3 quarterback.
EDGE Analysis
For now, the rookie out of Georgia will work behind Josh Allen and Matt Barkley, though there's always a chance the team could bring in one more veteran and try to hide Fromm on the practice squad. For now , however, the Bills are choosing the sixth-rounder over Davis Webb, who was let go Saturday.

Fromm signed his rookie contract with the Bills on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former Georgia quarterback is now under contract for the next four years in Buffalo. Josh Allen is the face of the franchise and only entering his third year, so Fromm will serve as a backup and developmental quarterback for the Bills, though how he fits in with Matt Barkley -- a guy that works well with Allen -- in the same room remains to be seen. We could see the Bills keeping three quarterbacks and the Fromm beginning his career as the No. 3 option.

The Bills selected Fromm in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 167th overall.
EDGE Analysis
The Bills had a need at backup quarterback behind Josh Allen, even with Matt Barkley still under contract for 2020, and Fromm offers the team developmental upside at the position. The Georgia product was knocked for his modest size (6-foot-2, 219 pounds), arm strength and athleticism in the pre-draft processes, but he showcased significant talent during his three-year starting career at Georgia. It's somewhat of a surprise that Fromm fell all the way to the fifth round, considering his touted ability to read the field and his record of success with the Bulldogs, but as a result he'll get the benefit of developing as a backup in Buffalo, which boasts a solid O-line and receiver corps.
