Bills QB Josh Allen day-to-day with right foot injury

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is dealing with daily pain from the right foot injury he suffered in the team’s win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, coach Sean McDermott said Monday.

Allen did not miss a play during the game, but left the field before halftime and had an X-ray taken on his foot. He was cleared to return to the game.

Asked if he expected Allen to be available for Sunday’s game against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles, McDermott responded: “As far as I know, yes.” »

The coach added that Allen was in pain, but there had been no setbacks and he was not aware of any additional tests that needed to be done.

The injury could impact Allen during the week of practice, however.

“I don’t know yet. There’s a chance that’s the case,” McDermott said. “We’ll see. We’ll practice a little tomorrow depending on availability. We have a number of guys that won’t be able to practice. We’ll see how Josh looks tomorrow and how he feels.”

Linebacker Shaq Thompson (neck), defensive tackle DaQuan Jones (calf) and safety Jordan Poyer (hamstring) are also day-to-day following injuries sustained in the game.

Allen’s injury occurred on a sack that was ultimately attributed to Browns defensive backs Myles Garrett and Alex Wright. Second-and-1 from the Buffalo 23 with 1:09 left in the second quarter, Allen dropped back but was quickly put under pressure and ran, eventually backing up to try to avoid Browns defenders before falling to the ground.

Allen stayed on the field for a quick quarterback run up the middle on the next play, but then headed to the locker room with athletic trainers before halftime, without wearing his right cleat.

After the game, Allen said, “We’re good” and that he “twisted my foot a little bit.”

Allen, 29, has started 120 consecutive regular-season games and hasn’t missed a start since his freshman year.
