Overview
- Josh Allen missed consecutive practices with a foot injury after negative X-rays, and Adam Schefter reports it is now setting up for him to rest with Mitchell Trubisky available to start.
- The Bills could preserve Allen’s consecutive-start streak with a ceremonial first snap, a tactic they used in last year’s finale.
- Coach Sean McDermott said no players will return from injured reserve, the team limited work to a walkthrough, and linebacker Terrel Bernard has been ruled out for Sunday.
- Buffalo enters Week 18 at 11-5 already in the playoffs and can still rise as high as the No. 5 seed with a win and favorable results elsewhere.
- The game doubles as the final regular-season contest at 53-year-old Highmark Stadium, with red-helmet throwbacks, fan commemoratives, and team legends expected, while the 3-13 Jets focus on draft positioning with a best-possible pick of No. 3.
