For the second straight week, Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen had X-rays on his foot/ankle after the game. Last week, it was at halftime against the Cleveland Browns. In Week 17, it was immediately following the game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
When asked after the game about the impact of the injury he answered with one word: “Zero.”
Allen tweaked the injury in the third quarter trying to avoid a sack by Moro Ojomo. His right ankle ever so slightly moved to the right awkwardly and he was taken dow
on the play. He made several important plays after the injury, but TV aalyst Tom Brady noted him limping off the field repeatedly.
How was Josh Allen injured against the Browns?
Late in the second quarter against the Browns, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was injured on a sack at the goal line. On 2nd and 1 at their own 22, Allen took the snap. With the pocket pushed, he started fading backwards, then turned and ran. He kept retreating, eventually turning back to the middle of the field. As he was inside the tackle box, he was unable to throw away the ball without a penalty. As he was falling to the ground, he went to his knee. He was able to keep the ball out of the end zone, and Buffalo was able to punt it after Allen completed a tush push to generate a little room.
He walked off the field gingerly and eventually walked to the locker room with no shoe as time expired in the half. After the sack, he was seen moving his foot back and forth, clearly working through something.
The Bills announced during halftime that QB1 had a foot X-ray and Allen was cleared to return.
After the game speaking with Evan Washburn on the field, Allen said about the injury: “We’re gravy baby. We’re all good.”
At the end of this clip, you can see him working the right ankle and foot.
Allen was attended to by several team trainers, and eventually walked to the locker room without his right shoe on with three seconds left.
Josh Allen injury history
Josh Allen’s injury history is not very extensive, at least not in terms of him missing games. He has started every game since his rookie season when he dealt with a concussion and a throwing arm injury.
In Week 12 of this season, Allen came up shaking his hand after a tackle against the Houston Texans. He didn’t miss a play.
In September 2025, Allen’s helmet was knocked into his nose on a rushing attempt and he left the field for a play with his nose gushing blood. It was never confirmed if he broke it or not, but he had a nice shiner and wore a visor for a few weeks.
He told the CBS crew he enjoys feeling pain because “some day he won’t.” Very dark.
