Bills QB Josh Allen (elbow) is "in line" to start Sunday's game vs. the Vikings, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. QB Matt Barkley was not elevated from the practice squad on Saturday, leaving only Allen and QB Case Keenum on the active roster. "Allen is able to grip a football and he did some throwing on Friday. That gave enough confidence to proceed without elevating Matt Barkley from the practice squad," Rapoport adds. Allen certainly carries more risk than usual in Week 10 fantasy lineups, but it'd be tough to bench him unless you for some reason also own Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts. Playing Justin Fields or Tua Tagovailoa over Allen wouldn't be crazy. We just updated our Bills projections.
Bills QB Josh Allen (elbow) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. He put in a limited practice on Friday after missing the previous 2 days. HC Sean McDermott described Allen as "hour-by-hour" on Friday morning, so Allen's status might come down to how that elbow feels on Sunday. We'll continue to look for updates on Allen and will get Buffalo's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. QB Case Keenum will start if Allen can't.
Bills HC Sean McDermott said in a Friday morning radio appearance that QB Josh Allen (elbow) has not been ruled out for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. Of course, there's no reason for Buffalo to rule out Allen at this point of the week. McDermott continues to describe Allen as "day-to-day," so we're expecting him to be listed as questionable on the final injury report later today. We're still projecting Allen to miss Sunday's game, but we'll continue to keep you updated on his status.
Bills QB Josh Allen (elbow) missed practice again on Thursday. We're currently projecting Allen to miss Sunday's game vs. the Vikings, leaving QB Case Keenum as Buffalo's starter. We'll see if Allen practices on Friday and then how he's listed on the final injury report.
Bills QB Josh Allen (elbow) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Sean McDermott said. "He's day to day," McDermott added. "And the next question is, 'is he going to play?' We'll see." Although it sounds like Allen avoided a serious injury, he's genuinely questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Bills QB Josh Allen's status for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings is "up in the air." Rapoport confirms that Allen is dealing with a sprained UCL in his throwing elbow. "Not considered to be a major, major injury," Rapoport adds. "The belief is it's something that he can play through." Allen is expected to be limited in practice to start the week -- and then monitored each day leading up to Sunday. Rapoport also describes the injury as a "functionality issue," rather than a pain-tolerance thing. "Sometimes, with this injury, it affects the grip of the football," Rapoport explains. We'll continue to keep a close eye on Allen's status. QB Case Keenum is Buffalo's backup.
Bills HC Sean McDermott didn't give much of an update on QB Josh Allen's elbow injury on Monday. "We're going through it. We're evaluating. We'll see where it goes," McDermott said. "I'll probably be able to check in with you guys on Wednesday." The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia notes that "we're evaluating" is a common line from McDermott on Mondays and says, "I wouldn't draw any conclusions, either good or bad, from just those answers today." ESPN's Chris Mortensen, meanwhile, reports that Allen's injury is to his ulnar collateral ligament and related nerves. That's notable because Allen missed 4 games as a rookie back in 2018 with a UCL injury. We'll continue to keep a close eye on the situation.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Bills QB Josh Allen's right elbow injury is "considered a situation to monitor rather than an ailment that would keep him out" of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. Allen is still undergoing tests on the elbow to get a more concrete diagnosis. We'll continue to keep you updated on his status.
Bills QB Josh Allen endured a poor passing performance in Sunday's loss to the Jets. He threw for just 205 yards on 18-of-34 passing (52.9%), taking 5 sacks and flinging 2 INTs. Allen salvaged his fantasy line with 86 yards and 2 TDs rushing, though. That marked his largest rushing total since Week 14 of last season and 6th career game with multiple ground scores. WR Stefon Diggs posted a 5-93 receiving line on 10 targets as the only Bill with more than 33 receiving yards. WR Gabriel Davis hit that total on 2 catches among 5 targets. TE Dawson Knox caught 3 of 4 looks for 25 yards. Allen and his receivers get a softer Vikings defense back home in Week 10.
Bills QB Josh Allen appeared to injure his right (throwing) elbow near the end of Sunday's loss to the Jets. “There was some slight pain, but I’ll get through it," Allen said afterward. We'll obviously keep a close eye on the situation this coming week. The Bills host the Vikings next Sunday.
Bills QB Josh Allen had an uncharacteristically mediocre passing night in Sunday's win over the Packers. He completed just 13 of 25 passes (52%) for 218 yards, throwing 2 TD and 2 INTs. The 2nd was particularly bad. Allen was clearly trying to throw the ball away into the ground but put it at the feet of Green Bay's top corner, Jaire Alexander, allowing him to make a diving INT near the Packers goal line. Allen nearly made up for it on the ground, with 49 yards on 6 attempts but came up short of the end zone on a 1st-quarter run that preceded TE Dawson Knox's TD catch. Buffalo gets the Jets, Vikings, Browns and Lions ahead of a Week 13 visit to New England.
