Trubisky completed his lone pass attempt for a three-yard gain and lost a yard on his lone carry in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars. Trubisky directed the Buffalo offense for the final three possessions of the night after starting quarterback Josh Allen guided the Bills to a commanding 27-point lead through the early part of the fourth quarter. He mostly handed the ball off as the Bills ran down the clock, with his lone carry being a kneeldown in the final minute of the quarter. So long as Allen stays healthy throughout the season, Trubisky's playing time will remain limited to the tail end of non-competitive games.

Trubisky completed his lone pass attempt for a three-yard gain and lost a yard on his lone carry in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars. Trubisky directed the Buffalo offense for the final three possessions of the night after starting quarterback Josh Allen guided the Bills to a commanding 27-point lead through the early part of the fourth quarter. He mostly handed the ball off as the Bills ran down the clock, with his lone carry being a kneeldown in the final minute of the quarter. So long as Allen stays healthy throughout the season, Trubisky's playing time will remain limited to the tail end of non-competitive games.
Trubisky (knee) practiced in full Thursday. Trubisky was limited due to a knee issue Wednesday, but he's upgraded to full participation in time to play without restrictions Week 1. Barring any setbacks, Trubisky now looks fully on track to operate as the No. 2 quarterback behind Josh Allen during Buffalo's regular-season opener against the Cardinals on Sunday.
Trubisky (knee) will be a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Trubisky is still nursing a knee injury suffered in a mid-August preseason tilt with the Steelers. His ability to participate at some level Wednesday should be a step in the right direction, though head coach Sean McDermott is "not sure" if the North Carolina product will be available Week 1, according to Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site. If Trubisky can't play Sunday against the Cardinals, Buffalo will likely promote Mike White to the active roster from the practice squad.
Bills general manager Brandon Beane said Wednesday that the status of Trubisky (knee) is uncertain for Week 1, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports. Trubisky is working his way back from a knee injury sustained mid-August in a preseason game against the Steelers, and while he doesn't seem like a candidate to begin the regular season on IR, he's not a lock to be ready for Buffalo's opener against the Cardinals on Sept. 8. As an insurance option behind Josh Allen, the Bills prioritized inking Mike White to the practice squad Tuesday after his release by the Dolphins.
During Buffalo's press conference Thursday, head coach Sean McDermott did not rule out Trubisky (knee) for the Bills' regular-season opener against the Cardinals on Sept. 8, Alec White of the team's official site reports. Trubisky injured his knee in Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers. Initial reports indicated that the injury would sideline the 2017 first-round quarterback for multiple weeks, but McDermott seemed to indicate Thursday that Trubisky has a chance at suiting up for Week 1. If not, Ben DiNucci -- who Buffalo signed on Aug. 12 after Shane Buechele landed on IR with a neck injury -- would serve as the backup quarterback behind Josh Allen to start the season, while Anthony Brown would fill in as the emergency QB.
Trubisky (knee) is expected to miss multiple weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Trubisky left Saturday's preseason contest in Pittsburgh due to a knee injury, and based on Monday's report, the QB's Week 1 status is unclear. When healthy, Trubisky is slated to be Josh Allen's top backup, but for now Ben DiNucci profiles as the Bills' No. 2 signal-caller.
Trubisky won't return to Saturday's preseason contest in Pittsburgh due to a knee injury. Prior to his exit in the second quarter, Trubisky completed nine of 13 passes for 86 yards, no touchdowns and one interception and had a one-yard carry. He actually started the game after coach Sean McDermott opted to keep No. 1 QB Josh Allen out due to the slippery nature of the field from rain earlier Saturday, so Ben DiNucci will handle all the reps under center for the remainder of this game.
Trubisky completed 10 of 18 passes for 82 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Saturday's preseason loss to the Bears, good for a 67.4 rating. He also rushed three times for 12 yards. Trubisky is the clear No. 2 behind superstar Josh Allen, and he didn't do anything too terribly in this outing to put his spot at any risk. No. 3 quarterback Shane Buechele had a rough game with an interception and a 34.6 rating, so at this point it would be a pretty big shock to see the Bills enter the regular season with anything other than an Allen-Trubisky pecking order. Trubisky also has experience with the Bills dating back to 2021, and the Bills like that he offers a similar type of big-bodied player with an ability to run should anything happen to The Franchise.
The Bills signed Trubisky on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. The Steelers released Trubisky last month after a failed two-year run with the team where the 29-year-old went 2-5 as a starter and was benched multiple times in favor of Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph. Trubisky spent the 2021 season as Josh Allen's backup with the Bills and will head back to a familiar spot, where he'll replace Kyle Allen as Buffalo's QB2.
