Matt Barkley heading home to rehab elbow injury

The Bills ended up parting ways with quarterback Matt Barkley at the end of this summer.

Barkley, 32, has been with the team since 2018. It appeared the plan was going to be the same as last season: Barkley as QB3 but while only on the practice squad.

Instead, he was released via injury settlement after hurting his elbow in the preseason.

Barkley’s NFL future is very much in question moving forward. He’s free to sign with another team and time will tell if he lands back with the Bills or another team. For now, he’s off to rehab.

Thanks to his wife, Brittany, we have a slight update on that.

First, Barkley is rehabbing and he’s leaving western New York to do so. His wife shared two messages on social media via Instagram explaining that.

The first message made some wonder if he’s set to retire from football, but she insisted that her message noting the “beautiful time we had here” was just a little shout out to Buffalo.

The second then explains Barkley is just heading out of town to rehab and the hope is that there will be more football in his future.

The messages she shared can be found below:
