Josh Allen’s hand is reportedly in good condition, despite some concern raised during the Buffalo Bills’ recent game against the Kansas City Chiefs. After throwing a fourth-quarter touchdown pass, Allen was seen shaking his hand, prompting questions about a possible injury. However, both Allen and Bills coach Sean McDermott confirmed there was no injury reported. McDermott humorously remarked that they might consider getting Allen a new hand over the bye week but assured fans there’s no reason for alarm.
As the Bills prepare for a well-timed bye week following a successful 30-21 victory, the team appears to be in good shape overall. McDermott stated that there have been “no new additions to the injury list” and mentioned that the training staff is optimistic about player recovery during the break. Key offensive players, including tight end Dalton Kincaid, wide receiver Keon Coleman, and right tackle Spencer Brown, were sidelined during the game, but the team is hopeful for their return soon.
Additionally, linebacker Matt Milano, who has been out for the first 11 games with a torn bicep, may also be on track to return. Defensive tackle DeWayne Carter is eligible to come off the injured reserve list, further boosting the team’s chances for a stronger lineup.
McDermott has stressed the importance of the upcoming bye, asserting that it comes at a crucial time, allowing players to rest and recuperate before facing tough competition, including their game against the San Francisco 49ers on December 1. Historically, the NFL bye week schedule can be somewhat random, but the Bills have lucked out with the timing, which could prove beneficial for their postseason aspirations.
Overall, the upcoming break presents an opportunity for the Bills to regroup and prepare for the challenges ahead, with a hopeful outlook on healing players and team performance in the remaining games of the season.
