Josh Allen injury update(officially questionable - expected to start per Ian Rappaport)

When Allen missed 4 weeks in 2018 from UCL, he was in significant pain on sideline and had immediately come out of the game. He actually dropped to knee on sideline if I remember. 

 

This time, he grabs/massages arm for a moment then uncorks a 70 yard pass. Hopefully it’s a level 1 tweak

It seems watching a couple medical opinions that the Bills avoided a level 3 sprain and that would have been surgery as Josh would never have been able to throw his last pass 70 yards if he did as it would have been kinda a lame duck throw do to the nerves. 

So it’s either a level 1 or 2. If it’s 2 he’s probably shut down for 2-4 games and likely plays after Thanksgiving. 

 

If it’s level 1 he could literally play on Sunday. 
And now you know. 


Just talked to my brother who is a physical therapist and he said the same thing.  
 

He’d be shocked if it’s anything more than a couple games, given the mere fact he was physically capable, post injury, of throwing that last pass 70 yards.

Agree.  Our favorite reporter (Thad Brown 👎) wrote an article in 2018 discussing what is called a "milking test". 

 

Basically a very quick test on the UCL, when the UCL is sprained badly or torn it will induce quite a bit of pain.  I'd assume the trainers did during the Jets timeout yesterday, or something more than Josh just saying he's ok to return.

It's starting to feel like all the negative hype created by Cover 1 and a couple WGR people was just because they heard Josh was getting testing done on the UCL. If that's all they heard and they used it to create cryptic pessimistic BS online I will never post them on this site again. If they want to be more than a Mickey Mouse operation they need to have better standards than that.

 

The upside is usually if I heard Allen was going to miss one game or more I would be freaking out, but now that my mind had drifted towards season-ending injury territory anything less than that will feel like good news.

We can’t afford Josh to miss any games. Play him. It’s worth the risk, if there is one. 

That is a very shortsighted view of the situation there is a reason why we have a back up QB on the team who could maybe win one out of three games yes and that is if Josh can injure it worse by playing then he should be shut down for the week because there is a lot of season left

It was trending nationwide on Twitter.  
 

One of the top 3 faces of the NFL getting tests done on his throwing elbow is going to take on a life of its own. 
 

But yea … the cryptic stuff from Nate Geary and others was definitely the genesis for the panic here.  
 

The national reporters are all stating tests being done, some uncertainty, but so far no cause for long term concern.  (Knock on wood)

2-2 in the next 4 and we are going to KC in the playoffs again and you can probably forget it. How many years are we just going to keep pissing away? Nobody is getting any younger here. We need the 1 seed. If Josh can play, he needs to be out there. Nothing down the road is given. You need to try and cash in when you have the chance 


Nothing we can do if Allen is hurt and can’t play. Just need Case to hold down the fort.
