Head coach Sean McDermott announced that Barkley is day to day with an elbow injury, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barkley injured his elbow during Buffalo's game against the Steelers on Saturday after completing seven of his 12 pass attempts for 93 yards and three interceptions. The 2013 fourth-round pick will look to get healthy, as he is currently competing with Kyle Allen for the backup quarterback spot.

Barkley suffered an elbow injury to his throwing arm in Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After completing 14 of 15 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns in last week's preseason date against the Colts, Barkley was much worse Saturday. He went seven of 12 for 93 yards and three interceptions versus Pittsburgh before leaving with the injury. Barkley is competing for a backup job behind Josh Allen.

Barkley completed 14 of 15 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions in Saturday's preseason win over the Colts, which was good for a 154.0 rating.

EDGE Analysis

Granted, it was against the backup players on what might be a weak team to begin with, but Barkley looked like starter Josh Allen in regular-season form. The Bills brought in Kyle Allen to serve as Josh Allen's backup this season, but we're not sure there isn't a competition here for the No. 2 role, especially because Barkley has been with the Bills on and off since 2018. Barkley outperformed Kyle Allen by a good margin Saturday, as the latter was 8-for-15 with no touchdowns, one interception (a pick-six) and a 52.6 rating. It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the last two preseason games, when Josh Allen will see no more than a few series.

The Bills signed Barkley to a reserve/future contract Monday, Chris Brown of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barkley signed a one-year contract with the Bills in March, though he ultimately spent the entire season with the team's practice squad. The 32-year-old last appeared in a game during the 2020 campaign during his previous three-year stint with Buffalo. Barkley now will stick with the team once again heading into this offseason, and he could vie for the No. 2 quarterback spot ahead of the 2023 campaign.

The Bills signed Barkley to their practice squad Wednesday, Alec White of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barkley was excellent during the Bills preseason finale, completing 18 of 24 passes for 224 yards. However, Case Keenum still earned the top backup spot behind Josh Allen on the active roster. Regardless, Barkley has been brought back and will operate as an emergency option on the team's practice squad.

Buffalo released Barkley on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite outplaying Case Keenum in the Bills' preseason finale at Carolina on Friday, Barkley was the one who got the short end of the stick on the day of the NFL's 53-man roster deadline. Barkley will need to try to find another opportunity elsewhere as a free agent, and Keenum will serve as Josh Allen's backup in 2022.

Barkley completed 18 of 24 passes for 224 yards with no TD passes and one interception in Buffalo's preseason win over the Colts on Saturday, good for an 86.1 rating.

EDGE Analysis

Case Keenum was brought in to be the main backup to Josh Allen this season, but no one has said that's set in stone, and it looks like Barkley plans on making a case to be the No. 2. Keenum struggled Saturday with two interceptions and a 33.3 rating, though in fairness this was his first game with the Bills, while Barkley played for the team and a similar offense from 2018-20 as Allen's backup. The situation should continue to sort itself over the last two preseason games, as it's doubtful the Bills would make a fairly significant depth chart move based on one preseason performance.

Barkley has signed a one-year deal with the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Barkley, who played for Buffalo from 2018 through 2020, returns to the team for a second stint, and this time around the 31-year-old is slated to serve as the Bills' No. 3 QB behind Josh Allen and recently acquired Case Keenum.

The Falcons signed Barkley to their practice squad Thursday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barkley was waived by Atlanta on Tuesday, but he'll now rejoin the organization as part of the practice squad. It's unlikely that he'll be added to the active roster in Week 18.

Barkley was waived by the Falcons on Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

The quarterback was added last week when Feleipe Franks was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but now has been let go because Franks has returned. Barkley appeared in five games with the Bills last season but likely will not enter a game during the 2021 season as he has yet to do so already and there's one game remaining.
