Bills List Josh Allen DNP With Foot Injury as Week 18 Usage Remains Uncertain

Buffalo has yet to set his snap count for the Highmark Stadium finale despite signs he will be available.

Overview

  • Josh Allen did not participate in Wednesday's walk-through because of a right foot/ankle injury, and Sean McDermott said he is "moving in the right direction" and expected to be available.
  • The Bills have not finalized whether Allen will rest or have limited snaps against the Jets, with coaches noting multiple possible approaches and some outlets characterizing plans as business as usual for healthy starters.
  • Offensive coordinator Joe Brady said the injury affected play-calling versus the Eagles, and Allen's 20-plus pass attempts all came from inside the pocket for the first time in his career.
  • Allen has 39 total touchdowns, leaving him one short of another 40‑TD season that would tie Aaron Rodgers for the most such seasons, adding a potential incentive to play.
  • Separately, starter Ed Oliver injured his meniscus during rehab and had a minimally invasive procedure, with McDermott saying the new issue adds uncertainty to his return window.
