Josh Allen - DNP Wednesday Practice Designation

[BillsFanForever19]

Hopefully he at least gets a Limited in tomorrow and another Limited or Full on Friday. 

 

Something to keep an eye on. He's a warrior and I doubt they'll shut him down unless they absolutely have to. But another DNP tomorrow would be concerning.

He told the media he absolutely would have practiced but they wanted "to be smart"

We are doomed.  Allen is starting Sunday night

I love the 'injury' for Douglas, Just Got Here.

 

When my boss asks me why I'm not doing anything at 9am from now on I'm going to say I'm injured and see if he ever catches on

Could be worse. We could have Tommy DeVito and run the ball every play.

[BuffBillsForLife]

"Just got here" lmao

[Low Positive]

Trey Hendrickson didn't practice either with a foot injury.

[Big Turk]

Might be dealing with this until the bye, but unless he injures it further, seems like it is just something that doesn't really effect his ability to play and do things, just don't want to have him use it more than he has to and want to let it rest as much as possible.

Likely just load management. I’m sure fatigue, soreness, bruising, tightness, etc. are all setting in. 
 

Just because there is a DNP designation, doesn’t mean he wasn’t participating in rehab and recovery, which might be more beneficial that running routes on air in 30 degree weather.

 

A few extra minutes in the film room is fine by me.

I honestly haven't been following it, but is it still a shoulder thing?

 

We've seen him go into the blue tent a couple of games already, so is this the same nagging injury that's just bothering him each week or something different?

considering the fits the Bengals defense gave us....absolutely

Pretty clean report, all things considered, since we know Josh will be fine and the rest of the guys (besides Q) will be inactive anyway.

[MJS]

Rest that shoulder.

[Dr.Sack]

Allen should be taking off every Wednesday IMHO. Let the QB who doesn’t throw on game day to take throws Wednesday.

This.  It also has the added benefit of giving K. Allen. Reps against a decent defense so if he ever needs to fill in to finish a game for Josh  if the Bills get to a comfortable lead and want to let Josh sit rest of a game.  If K. Allen has more reps in practice might slow game down enough to be as capable bu qb for Josh.

It’s funny there is not as much speculation on Josh’s shoulder as I would expect.  Shoulders are complicated joints.  Hopefully it’s nothing that requires surgery but there are injuries that he could play through that won’t heal until surgery.   This could be a thing the rest of the way and always the chance of it getting worse.  

[MikePJ76]

Without throwing yesterday i guess you could say theoretically Josh Allen has had 6 days to get treatment and rest on that shoulder.  Its hard to do that during a season so that thursday night game might have helped him a lot even though he clearly bothered that injury again.

 

Need to keep him upright until the bye where he can really get rest.  He has been getting hit to much lately and the bengals are going to play downhill all game so the line needs to have their best game yet sunday night.

Or it could be nothing and just needs a bit of rest. Just soreness from landing on it. From Josh's comments, that's all it sounds like.

He looked great against Tampa.  I expect him to be on top of his game against Cinci.

 

McDermott on the other hand coached a terrible second half against Tampa.  And should stay in the tent on game day.

Josh injured? Was Thursday his last game in a bills uniform?!?
