Bills Set for Highmark Stadium Farewell as Reports Point to Josh Allen Resting vs. Jets

Health considerations are set to outweigh seeding as Buffalo readies a ceremonial sendoff.

Overview

  • - Josh Allen missed consecutive practices with a foot injury after negative X-rays, and Adam Schefter reports it is setting up for him to rest in Week 18.
  • - If Allen sits, Mitchell Trubisky is expected to take the snaps, with a brief cameo possible to preserve Allen’s 139-game starts streak.
  • - Head coach Sean McDermott said there will be no injured-reserve returns and only a walkthrough this week; defensive captain Terrel Bernard is ruled out.
  • - The game marks the final regular-season contest at 53-year-old Highmark Stadium, with red helmets, fan commemoratives, and appearances by Bills legends planned before the team moves to a new $2.2 billion venue in 2026.
  • - Buffalo has clinched a playoff spot and can rise as high as the No. 5 seed with help elsewhere, while the 3-13 Jets start rookie Brady Cook and enter with significant draft-order stakes.
