Josh Allen did not escape unharmed from Sunday night’s thrilling victory over the Giants, even though the Bills managed to hold on.
Though he seemed to be pain-free at the end of the game and even tossed two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, the Bills quarterback acknowledged after the game that he had sustained an injury in the first half.
Although Allen missed a large portion of the 2022 season due to an elbow injury, he hasn’t missed a start since his debut season in 2018. Even if Allen plays through the injury again, it’s still important to keep an eye on his health because he didn’t appear quite the same in the last moments.
Following the Bills’ “Sunday Night Football” triumph, here are the most recent updates on Allen’s condition.
Update on Josh Allen’s injury
Following Sunday’s victory, Allen acknowledged that he had sustained a shoulder injury in the second quarter.
He said the injury happened only one play before a concussion spotter took him out of the game. Allen had a bruised shoulder from the previous play, but he was soon allowed to return without showing any symptoms of a concussion.
Allen minimised the harm, though. “I played the entire second half,” he told reporters, declining to elaborate on his feelings. In the second half, Allen completed two throws for touchdowns.
After the game, though, Allen did have X-rays. All scan results were clear, according to coach Sean McDermott.
Given that Allen was able to complete the game on Sunday without displaying any overt symptoms of an injury, his availability moving forward doesn’t seem to be in question. After playing the Patriots in Foxborough in Week 7, the Bills will host the Buccaneers on “Thursday Night Football” four days later.
Nevertheless, it will be important to keep an eye on Allen’s practice situation all this week. Despite not missing any time due to his elbow injury from the previous season, it appeared to have an impact on him towards the end. The last thing the Bills need after an offensively unimpressive night is a limited quarterback.
