Bills vs. Washington: No Buffalo homecoming for Ryan Fitzpatrick

Former Buffalo Bills quarterback and fan favorite Ryan Fitzpatrick won’t be returning to Orchard Park this season as originally predicted. Fitzpatrick left the Washington Football Team’s Week 1 game with a hip subluxation (ball out of the socket) and was placed on Injured Reserve Monday. The move means Fitzpatrick is out for at least three weeks, including the Week 3 contest in Western New York.

Instead of Fitzpatrick, the WFT will start Taylor Heinicke at quarterback. A 2015 undrafted free agent, Heinicke will receive the second start of his NFL career in Week 2.
