On the final drive of the second half, Jets defensive end Bryce Huff struck quarterback Josh Allen on the forearm while he was throwing, resulting in a fumble that the Bills would later recover. After trying a pass on the following play, Allen quickly shook his arm.
Josh Allen: Suffered Elbow Injury, Injury Update
American football quarterback Joshua Patrick Allen plays for the National Football League’s Buffalo Bills. Allen was taken seventh overall by the Bills in the 2018 NFL Draft while playing college football for Wyoming, where he won a bowl game MVP award.
A little community located about 40 miles (64 km) west of Fresno, California, called Firebaugh is where Allen was raised on a 3,000-acre cotton farm.
Josh Allen Suffered Elbow Injury
Josh Allen, a star for the Buffalo Bills and a candidate for MVP, may have hurt his elbow in the shocking defeat to the New York Jets. After taking a brutal hit from Jets pass rusher Bryce Huff late in the fourth quarter and with the Bills in possession and behind by three points, Allen was stripped sacked.
Allen continued to play, but he was unproductive as the Bills failed to score, losing a crucial divisional game. He was observed gripping his arm and elbow immediately following the blow to his arm.
Even while the quarterback swears that everything will be great, there is fear about his health in Buffalo. The quarterback was very unlikely to miss the crucial game the next week, according to Ian Rapoport, but practise time restrictions this week were highly possible.
According to NFL.com, Allen’s participation at practise this week will be restricted.
Near the end of the game, as the Bills attempted a last-second comeback, Allen dropped back to pass and was pressed by Jets edge rusher Bryce Huff. Huff pulled his arms down forcefully on the ball and knocked it free as he unloaded to toss it. After the play that resulted in a strip-sack, Allen was then seen flexing his hand and shaking his arm.
Josh Allen Injury Update
Allen’s elbow injury is to his ulnar collateral ligament and associated nerves, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN.
Although Allen’s availability for the game on Sunday is unclear, this week’s workouts won’t likely include him in full.
Allen’s arm strength was unaffected by the injury on Sunday.
The longest pass thrown in the NFL over the previous six seasons was his final attempt, an incomplete pass to wide receiver Gabe Davis.
Since the quarterback didn’t leave the game and hasn’t received an injury diagnosis, it’s unclear what exactly occurred to him. He is obviously experiencing some elbow pain, which could be nothing minor or more significant.
Allen went for the elbow after his forearm was bent backward by a strip sack on the Bills’ last drive. Given that it is on his throwing arm, Buffalo may have serious problems in the future. After the game, Allen stated, “There’s some small soreness, but I’ll get through it. Before the Bills’ Week 10 game against the Vikings, fantasy managers need to keep a careful eye on Allen’s participation in practises. Following the Bills’ Week 7 bye, Allen has passed for 423 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions in the two games that have come after.
