Bills QB Josh Allen underwent surgery earlier this week to repair a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot, he said Thursday. GM Brandon Beane said earlier this month that Allen might need a procedure on the foot that he injured in the Week 16 win over the Browns. Allen explained Thursday that it was an older injury that was re-aggravated against Cleveland. He downplayed the issue, calling it "a little painful" but not a major surgery. "I'm not even lying — if we had to play a game this week, I would find a way to play," he added. A more realistic Ian Rapoport hears that Allen is expected to be sidelined for 8-10 weeks. We'll track his rehab this offseason but aren't expecting this to impact Allen's 2026 campaign. He's started 127 straight regular-season games (and 140 straight, including playoffs).

Bills GM Brandon Beane said Wednesday that QB Josh Allen could undergo a procedure on his right foot. Per Beane, any procedure would not impact Allen’s availability for OTAs. Allen first suffered the injury in Week 16 and aggravated it in Week 17. We’ll monitor the situation for any changes to his offseason timeline.

Bills QB Josh Allen was limited in Tuesday's practice and listed on the injury report with foot, knee, and right finger injuries. He's been playing through the foot ailment for multiple weeks but picked up the knee and finger issues in the Wild Card win over the Jaguars. Neither cost him time in that one, and he'll play vs. the Broncos on Saturday. But Allen clearly won't be at 100%. It's a concern for his fantasy upside, particularly the rushing production.

Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) is not listed on the final Week 18 injury report. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s fair to assume he’s still not at 100%. We're expecting Allen to take the first snap of Sunday's game vs. the Jets to push his consecutive starts streak to 127 games, but he probably wont play much beyond that. QB Mitchell Trubisky figures to play most of the game.

Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles. He played through the foot injury last week and practiced all this week, including a full workout on Friday. HC Sean McDermott said Friday that Allen "has gotten better each day" and isn’t expected to be limited against Philadelphia.

Bills QB Josh Allen is "day to day" with a foot injury suffered in the Week 16 win over the Browns, HC Sean McDermott said Monday. Allen got the foot twisted on a sack late in the second quarter in Cleveland. He headed into the locker room early but ultimately didn't miss any snaps. McDermott said that Allen might be limited in practice this week but is expected to play vs. the Eagles on Sunday. We'll keep a close eye on this one, but Allen can stay penciled into Week 17 fantasy lineups.

Bills QB Josh Allen looked in mid-season form in a Week 1 win over Arizona. Spreading the ball around to nine different pass catchers, Allen completed 18 of 23 passes for 232 yards. He added 2 TDs -- plus 2 more on the ground. We’ll just have to keep an eye on Allen’s health; he was spotted with his left wrist tapped following the game, according to multiple beat writers.

Bills QB Josh Allen (shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He put in full practices on Thursday and Friday after sitting out on Wednesday. There’s nothing to suggest that the shoulder will be a factor in Sunday night’s showdown vs. the Bengals.

Bills QB Josh Allen (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. It was initially reported that he'd be limited. Allen spoke to the media afterward and said he wants to "stay ahead" on the shoulder injury and make sure it doesn't become a long-term problem. "Every day it gets so much better," Allen added. "If I had to practice today, absolutely would have. If the game was today, I'm playing in the game." Allen can stay penciled into Week 9 fantasy lineups for now. We'll see if he practices on Thursday.

Bills QB Josh Allen will be limited in Wednesday's practice, HC Sean McDermott said. Allen is "working through" a shoulder injury he suffered in last Thursday night's game vs. the Bucs, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Allen will surely play vs. the Bengals on Sunday night, but this shoulder issue is worth keeping a close eye on.

Bills QB Josh Allen (shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 7 injury report. He put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. It doesn’t look like that shoulder will be a problem vs. the Patriots on Sunday.

Bills QB Josh Allen said Wednesday that he has "no concern" about the shoulder injury he suffered in Sunday night's win over the Giants. "We’ll be ready to go," Allen added. "It’s feeling pretty good.” We'll keep an eye on Allen leading up to this weekend's game vs. the Patriots, but he can stay penciled into fantasy lineups.

Bills HC Sean McDermott labeled QB Josh Allen "day-to-day" with his shoulder injury. "He's sore. He's going to be all right," McDermott added. The coach didn't guarantee that Allen will be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots, but it sounds like he's a good bet to play. We'll track his status throughout the week.

Bills QB Josh Allen said Monday that he's not expected to have surgery on the UCL injury he suffered in his right elbow on November 6. He also told reporters that he didn't feel like he had his usual throwing mechanics until 2 weeks ago. Allen's numbers certainly suggest that the elbow was an issue. In his first 8 games, including the 1 in which he hurt the elbow late, he posted a 64.1% completion rate, 8.1 yards per attempt and 19 TDs vs. 8 INTs. Over his final 10 games, including the playoffs, he registered a 61.7% completion rate, 7.1 yards per attempt and 19 TDs vs. 9 INTs. We'll keep an eye on Allen's status throughout the offseason, but he should tentatively expected to be 100% for the 2023 campaign.

Bills QB Josh Allen (ankle, right elbow) upgraded to full practice again on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Week 18 vs. the Patriots. With AFC playoff seeding still being a factor in this game, it stands to reason that Allen and all other key starters will play the full compliment of snaps. Fire up Allen as a no-doubt QB1, per usual.

Bills QB Josh Allen threw for a mere 197 yards and 1 TD in Sunday's win over the Browns, adding just 7 yards on 3 rushing attempts. Those marked season lows in each yardage category for Allen, but it was his 3rd straight game with 1 TD pass or fewer. We weren't concerned when he just happened to run for 2 scores against the Jets. But the past 2 have followed the right-elbow injury he suffered late in that game. It's worth noting that Buffalo leaned run much more than usual against Cleveland, logging just 30 dropbacks vs. 33 rushing attempts. A Thanksgiving Day game at Detroit just 4 days from this one will be a good test for that elbow and signal what the Bills want to do on offense.

Bills QB Josh Allen (elbow) was limited in practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. That right elbow likely still isn’t at 100%, but it didn’t seem to be much of an issue last week and isn’t a concern for Allen vs. the Browns on Sunday.

Bills QB Josh Allen (elbow) will start today's game vs. the Vikings, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's nice to have confirmation after earlier reports that Allen wasn't on the field for the start of warmups. The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia reports that Allen was under center when Buffalo went to 11-on-11s. Allen carries more risk than usual playing through that elbow injury, but he still belongs in the vast majority of fantasy lineups. DraftKings sports book has Allen's passing yardage prop set at 252.5.

ESPN's Adam Schefter calls Bills QB Josh Allen (elbow) "likely" to start today's game vs. the Vikings. That jibes with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport's Saturday report. "Bills officials spent intensive time this past week leaning on and listening to their doctors and other arm specialists, and the team was reassured that Allen is not at any added risk to make the injury worse if he plays," a source tells Schefter. We'll get Buffalo's inactives around 11:30 am ET, but Allen can be penciled into fantasy lineups for now.
