Josh Allen’s Injury Update
In a recent announcement, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen revealed that he underwent surgery for a fracture in his right foot. Despite the injury, he anticipates being in top shape for the upcoming spring practices.
Details of the Injury
The injury occurred during a crucial moment in a game against Cleveland on December 21, when Allen sustained a break in the fifth metatarsal late in the second quarter. Remarkably, he continued to play through the pain, finishing both the game and the season despite the adversity.
Recovery and Confidence
On Thursday, while he was seen using crutches and donning a protective boot, Allen expressed confidence in his recovery, claiming he could have played had there been a game scheduled this week. His comments came during his first public appearance since the team’s heart-wrenching 33-30 overtime defeat to the Denver Broncos two weeks prior.
Coaching Changes
Earlier in the day, he also attended the press conference introducing Joe Brady as the new head coach of the Bills. Brady’s promotion followed a successful tenure as the offensive coordinator and completes a transition after former head coach Sean McDermott was let go last week after nearly a decade with the franchise.
Allen’s Involvement in Coaching Decisions
Allen played an active part in the hiring process, participating in interviews during the six-day search in which the team evaluated nine different candidates. General manager Brandon Beane had alluded to the possibility of Allen needing surgery last week, now confirmed with this latest update on his health.
