Josh Allen Injury Updates: Latest on the Buffalo Bills Quarterback

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been dealing with a series of injuries, but he has shown remarkable resilience and commitment to playing through them. In the team's Week 1 win over the Arizona Cardinals, Allen suffered an injury to his non-throwing hand.

The injury occurred during a fourth-quarter touchdown scramble where Allen hurdled over Arizona defender Budda Baker and landed on his left wrist/hand. Despite the injury, Allen continued to play and even had his wrist taped on the sideline before returning to the game. He completed 18 of 23 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns, and also scored two rushing touchdowns.

Clearance to Play

Head coach Sean McDermott announced that Allen was cleared to practice and play in the Week 2 game against the Miami Dolphins, despite the short turnaround. Allen expressed confidence in his ability to perform, stating that his hand was 'good' and he was 'ready to go'.

Recent Incident

In a more recent development, during a Sunday night game, Allen was slow to get up after losing a fumble. This incident raised concerns about his injury status, but details on the severity of this particular incident are still emerging.

Allen's history of playing through injuries is well-documented. He has previously dealt with injuries such as a clavicle fracture, AC joint sprain, elbow sprain, and turf toe, yet he has consistently demonstrated his ability to perform at a high level despite these setbacks.

Impact on Upcoming Games

As the Bills prepare for their upcoming games, including a matchup against the Ravens in Week 4, Allen's health will be closely monitored. His ability to manage his injuries and continue performing will be crucial for the team's success. The Bills' offensive line will also need to focus on protecting Allen, especially given the defensive pressure he may face.
