The Buffalo Bills will start quarterback Tyrod Taylor in Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, coach Sean McDermott announced Friday.

Taylor missed last Sunday’s 13-7 snow victory in overtime over the Indianapolis Colts due to a contusion on his knee.

Backup quarterback Nathan Peterman remains in the concussion protocol even though he was listed as a full participant in practice Thursday. Peterman left in the third quarter with a concussion and Joe Webb finished the game against the Colts.

Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin, who has been limited in practice this week after aggravating a knee injury last Sunday, remains day-to-day.

“(The knee) is good,” Benjamin said Friday. “Still battling through the soreness and stuff. But that’s football. I’m ready to get out there, play with my teammates and try to pull out the win.”

McDermott also announced the team placed offensive tackle Cordy Glenn on the season-ending injured reserve list. Glenn missed the last five games (seven total) with his lingering foot and ankle problems.

Glenn signed a five-year, $65 million extension during the 2016 offseason.
