EJ Manuel Cleared To Play From Injury For Buffalo Bills

After that ugly performance by backup quarterback Jeff Tuel, the Buffalo Bills are chomping at the bits to get starting rookie QB EJ Manuel back under center.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, via the Buffalo Bills official Twitter account, is reporting that Manuel has been cleared to return. This comes four weeks after tearing his LCL.

Manuel suffered a knee injury Oct. 3 against the Cleveland Browns. He has missed the last four games, in which the Bills were 1-3 during that span.

They lost to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, though they were very close to pulling off an upset if it weren't for Tuel's costly pick or Marquise Goodwin's fumble.
