Bills QB Allen Returns To Practice, Questionable For Sunday

‘The Bills referred to Allen’s practice time as being limited, which is still considered a step in the right direction since he sat out the first two sessions after hurting his right elbow in the final minutes of a loss to the New York Jets last weekend.’

Bills’ Josh Allen questionable for Sunday’s game vs. Vikings with elbow injury

‘”We are literally in an hour-to-hour situation here just looking at how he progresses through the day and as he goes through his different tests, medically, making sure he’s able to check the boxes in a progression to where we can see if we can proceed through the course of the day here,” head coach Sean McDermott told the media before Friday’s session.’

Bills not rushing decision on Josh Allen, list QB as questionable

‘Allen was a limited participant in practice Friday, his first participation this week after suffering a right elbow injury Sunday against the New York Jets. He was seen at the end of the session wearing a practice jersey for the first time this week. Allen did not have on the sleeve he had been wearing on his right arm.’

How trading Stefon Diggs became a massive win-win for Bills, Vikings

‘Should Diggs and Jefferson continue along this path — a reasonable projection given their ages at 28 and 23, respectively — the Bills-Vikings trade would join a small group of NFL deals that directed multiple Hall of Fame-caliber players to their respective teams. As the two receivers prepared to see each other on in a non-Pro Bowl game for the first time Sunday at Highmark Stadium (1 p.m. ET, Fox), Jefferson said: “It was a huge win-win and there’s not too many of those.”‘

Josh Allen injury update: Bills QB questionable for Week 10 vs. Vikings after limited practice session

‘”It’s tough to do that right now because he hasn’t practiced,” McDermott said before Friday’s practice when asked about how he’s gauged Allen’s progress. “We are literally in an hour-to-hour situation here, just looking at how he’s going to progress through the day as he goes through his different tests medically making sure he’s able to check the boxes in a progression to where we can see if we can proceed through the course of the day here.”‘

Josh Allen injury impact: Three biggest ways Bills offense will change if Case Keenum starts at quarterback

‘There’s no replacing Allen if he misses any stretch of time. He’s been the MVP favorite for most of the season and epitomizes the phrase “one man band” better than anyone else in the league right now. He leads the Bills in rushing and has racked up the fifth-most total yards (passing and rushing) by any player through eight games since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. He’s accounted for 23 of the Bills’ 25 touchdowns this season, the highest rate (92%) in the NFL.’

Josh Allen Misses Third Practice Ahead of Bills vs. Vikings, per Report

‘Reporters on the scene shared that Allen was not seen on the field at the beginning of the team’s workout on Friday. The star quarterback already missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday of this week with a right elbow injury, according to the Bills’ official injury report.’

McDermott: Case Keenum has that ‘it’ factor

‘”He’s kind of a below-the-radar guy,” McDermott said with Sal Capaccio. “He’s very humble from a personality standpoint, but he also has a great way about him, in terms of he’s got the ‘it’ factor. He has a great way of influencing the locker room, he’s very positive, he has a good feel for the game instinctively. I mean, he’s won games. So he’s got that ‘it’ factor that you look for and his teammates play for.”‘

Should he? Will he? Bills fans share concerns with Josh Allen’s elbow injury

‘While the prognosis of Allen’s elbow injury has been reported as a sprain of his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), not much has been said about whether or not the Bills quarterback can actually play through the sprain and be effective. If Allen is not feeling 100% ready to go this week or for however long it is, some fans believe it would be wise to just sit the fifth-year starter to ensure his long-term health.’
