Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen appears to be moving well just days after a knee scare raised questions about his status heading into Week 4. The sight of the star quarterback back at practice comes after Allen took a shot to his left knee during Sunday’s 24-16 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Allen nevertheless remained in the game and finished Buffalo’s 24-16 victory. “Doesn’t seem to be favoring that left knee, which he took a shot on later in Week 3’s game.
Morse added that he believed there was “a 0% chance” Allen was going to miss the game, although he raised a question about whether the knee could have an effect on some of Allen’s play-calling or decision-making. Allen was spotted participating in practice Wednesday, with NFL reporter Matthew Bové confirming his presence on the field. Allen appeared to favor the knee after taking the hit late in the game, but the quarterback remained in the contest and helped the Bills secure the victory. Now, video from Wednesday’s practice appears to offer a more positive update. The quarterback was seen walking around the field with no obvious signs of discomfort. The quarterback took a hit to the knee late in the game and appeared to favor the leg afterward, briefly raising concern about his status. The injury became a talking point after the game as footage showed Allen appearing to limp, but the Bills did not indicate that he was in danger of missing the next matchup. Allen’s return to practice is certainly a notable development after the quarterback appeared to be dealing with discomfort following Sunday’s hit. The Bills have not indicated that Allen is in danger of missing their upcoming game against the New England Patriots, and his participation Wednesday provides another encouraging sign.
