The Bills are turning to Thad Lewis at QB with EJ Manuel sidelined.
Lewis, who spent the first five weeks of the season on the practice squad, will be signed to the active roster.
"Thad gives us the best chance,'' Marrone said. "We're going to give him an opportunity to see what he has.''
The Bills chose not to start undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel, who was the only healthy quarterback remaining on the Bills' roster. He replaced Manuel in Thursday night's loss to the Cleveland Browns and went 8-for-20 passing for 80 yards and an interception that was returned for a touchdown.
Lewis, 25, was acquired in a trade with the Detroit Lions on Aug. 25 after Manuel underwent surgery on his left knee. Lewis, who went undrafted out of Duke in 2010, made his only career start last season for the Browns.
Buffalo worked out free-agent quarterbacks Pat White and Dennis Dixon on Sunday, sources told ESPN. Dixon was sent home, but White spent Sunday night in Buffalo. White, however, is leaving Buffalo on Monday for a scheduled workout with the Oakland Raiders on Tuesday, a league source told ESPN.

I mean, we've got a Brian Hoyer, a Jeff Tuel, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Chad Henne somehow hanging on, and now a Thad Lewis??? Nevermind that we could be one snap away from a Matt McGloin or Dan Orlovsky sighting.
That being said, Ride Thad, Ride!
