Overview
- Offensive coordinator Joe Brady said Allen was hobbling against Philadelphia and that his in-game condition required constant communication and adjustments to the script.
- ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg noted Allen attempted no throws from outside the pocket for the first time in any game with 20-plus attempts, underscoring curtailed mobility.
- NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Allen has had X-rays on his foot and has been seen limping after recent games, with availability expected for Week 18 but effectiveness uncertain.
- Buffalo lost to the Eagles 13-12 on Christmas Day as the offense stalled, including five sacks of Allen, a blocked extra point, and a failed late two-point try.
- With little on the line against the Jets in Week 18, the Bills must weigh resting Allen versus playing him, and analysts caution that reduced mobility could undercut postseason aspirations.
