Josh Allen overcame an injury scare to help the Buffalo Bills to a 24-18 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night. Allen’s first injury concern came with 11:51 remaining in the second quarter when he was tackled to the ground by linebacker YaYa Diaby. He landed on his right throwing shoulder, yet was able to get back to his feet and shake off the discomfort.
“Took a little, little fall on it and felt a little funky about it, but you know, just trying to keep it warm and keep it loose,” Allen explained after the game. “I’ll be sore for a couple of days, but we’ll be fine.” While backup Kyle Allen was prepped to take his place, the first-choice quarterback was able to continue playing.
Allen’s health is of utmost importance to the Bills and the player has become less involved in rushing as a result. His shoulder was previously injured in the Bills’ 14-9 win over the Giants in Week 6 after which he was listed on the injured report.
