The Buffalo Bills have had questions surrounding their current quarterback situation, with starter Tyrod Taylor dealing with a concussion.
There has been some much-needed clarity reached with Taylor now being cleared from the concussion protocol, putting him on track to play in the season opener against the New York Jets, according to Field Yates of ESPN.

Prior to that development, rookie Nathan Peterman had been expected to be the starter against the Jets, as both Taylor and T.J. Yates had still been recovering from concussions that they suffered in preseason action against the Baltimore Ravens on Aug. 26. The Bills had even signed Joe Webb as an insurance policy.
Taylor's return pushes Peterman back to the backup duties heading into the season opener. The 26-year-old has held down the starter spot over the last two seasons for Buffalo after spending his first four years in the league with the Ravens. Taylor earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2015.
There have been doubts arising around Taylor's long-term future with the Bills as his six-year, $92 million extension that was signed last August was restructured to $30 million over the next two seasons. For the time being, he remains the starter for the 2017 campaign.
