Big Blitz Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I know there was some concern with this. Bills' Josh Allen won't need elbow surgery, on track for 2023 season, per report Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will not need surgery after battling through a significant injury to his right elbow during the second half of the 2022 season, and is on track to be healthy for the 2023 season, per an NFL Media report. Allen suffered the injury in the loss against the Jets on Nov. 6 and downplayed the injury at the time. Doctors are confident that the rest has been beneficial for the quarterback and has made great progress in the recovery. Allen had to wear a brace for multiple games due to the injury. The 26-year-old did not reinjure the elbow during the remainder of the season, which was more good news that he would not require surgery and could finish the recovery in the offseason. Last month, Allen said the initial prognosis from the doctors "wasn't too optimistic about me playing" for two to four weeks. He got a platelet-rich plasma injection to help with the recovery. This is not Allen's first elbow injury, as he also suffered a UCL sprain during his rookie season causing him to miss four games. The current injury is less significant than the UCL sprain. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bills-josh-allen-wont-need-elbow-surgery-on-track-for-2023-season-per-report/ Zero doubt this impacted every part of his game - even just comfort in the pocket. 7 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is very good news. I was dreading reading the out of the blue headlines like we had with Von's surgery about Josh undergoing surgery and how he will miss significant time next season.

Shanna must have owed them some content or something. At this point who thought that was an option? He's been playing golf for 3 weeks.........you don't suppose he'd have had the procedure by now if it was needed? The media content from SB week is the biggest garbage dump of the sports year but this is even super random by those standards. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardyBoy Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I thought this was confirmed already right after the season? Did he get it checked again or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airseven Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 “On track” is good, but the fact this is still being monitored and evaluated is a little concerning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverboat Ritchie Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I know he is an amazing competitor and we are so fortunate that he is with the red white and blue but they should have sat him a couple games in hindsight. I was kinda hoping he didn’t play in the MN game as just watching how that injury happened and his history, it looked like something was up. Oh well, get better Josh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills Fan in MD Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I watched the hit to Josh and the play that Brock Purdy got injured on to compare the two. To my hugely untrained eye, they were almost identical. This team had a ton of bad luck this year, but Josh escaping serious injury on that play is incredibly fortunate.

HappyDays Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Quote The injury wasn't as significant as the UCL sprain that sidelined Allen for four games during his rookie season, and he somehow didn't miss a start in 2022. But the combination of soreness and the brace bothered Allen and impacted his mechanics, making it difficult to execute certain throws the way he was accustomated to and disrupting the rhythm of one of the NFL's most prolific offenses. Allen definitely became noticeably less accurate on short to intermediate throws from the Vikings game on. Driving the ball was not a problem, but placing the ball was. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 This is good, but should the team have rested him mid-season? Perhaps more than 10 pts vs Cincy? Also, hope he is watching film, working on footwork, etc while resting arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, but there were a bunch of them tweaking out in the "josh is playing golf" thread from last week 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 This is good news. Bills definitely lacked OL quality and that ultimately ended our season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
