Yates signed with the Bills in April with the hope of competing for a backup job at quarterback, but the team opted to keep Nathan Peterman and Joe Webb as the Nos. 2 and 3 options behind starter Tyrod Taylor. In early September, the Bills waived/injured Yates while he was dealing with a concussion, and the veteran signal caller could end up reverting to the team's injured reserve list.
