Bills | Josh Allen not seen at practice Thu Jan 1, 01:27 PM
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) did not practice on Thursday, Jan. 1.
| Footballguys view: Bills HC Sean McDermott told reporters that Allen is trending in the right direction ahead of Week 18's matchup with the Jets. That was before Wednesday's practice, but now he's a DNP on Thursday. Allen could be ready to play against the Jets, but in a game they should control early the Bills might choose to shut him down early (if he does play). Stay tuned. |

Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: Knox and Dalton Kincaid are both battling knee injuries. We may see one or both get rest in Week 18 even if they're ready to play. The Jets shouldn't put up much of a fight, and the Bills are only battling for playoff seeding with a Wild Card spot already locked up. |

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid is getting better, but he's no lock to play in Week 18 against the Jets. We could see the team rest him for the Wild Card Round as they're just playing for seeding in the regular season finale. |

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot), LB Terrel Bernard (calf), DE Joey Bosa (hamstring), FB Reggie Gilliam (illness), S Jordan Poyer (hamstring) and DT DaQuan Jones (calf) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31. TE Dalton Kincaid (knee), TE Dawson Knox (knee), CB Cam Lewis (hamstring) and DT Jordan Phillips (ankle) were limited during practice. PK Matt Prater (quadriceps) fully participated in practice. The Bills only held a walkthrough Wednesday, so the report is an estimation.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) sat out of practice Wednesday, Dec. 31, but he's trending in the right direction to play in Week 18, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: We'll know more about Allen's status for Sunday's game against the Jets later in the week. It sounds like Wednesday was just a maintenance day for the superstar quarterback. |

Link to storyBills QB Josh Allen got off to a slow start in Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Eagles, but went 16 of 25 for 172 yards in the second half and finished 23 of 35 for 262 yards. With two rushing scores, the 29-year-old Allen increased his career total to 301 (passing, rushing, receiving) and became the first player to reach 300 before turning 30.
| Footballguys view: Also worth noting, Allen appears to be fine after he was spotted limping following Sunday's loss to the Eagles. X-rays were negative on Allen's foot, Bills coach Sean McDermott confirmed. McDermott described Allen as "sore," but it doesn't sound more serious than that. Sunday's loss to the Eagles eliminated the Bills from AFC East contention. Buffalo will be a wild-card team, and McDermott might decide to rest Allen to get him ready for the playoffs. But Allen will be ready to go when the Bills need him. |

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) is expected to play without any limitations in Week 17's game versus the Philadelphia Eagles, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: The foot injury is not as serious as some had feared. Allen is going to play against the Eagles on Sunday, and we're expecting him to post QB1 numbers as per usual. |

Buffalo Bills TE Dawson Knox (knee) was limited in practice on Friday, Dec. 26, and is questionable for Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Knox has been a fantasy TE1 in two of the last three weeks, but it's hard to project that every week. Especially with Dalton Kincaid questionable, Knox is far down in the streaming pool this week. |

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) was limited in practice on Friday, Dec. 26, and is listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid missed the first two practices this week, but it's promising that he returned to the field on Friday. Given potential limitations, it would be hard to trust him in any Week 17 lineups. He's a desperation streamer against the Eagles. |

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) has improved each day, according to head coach Sean McDermott, and Allen will play in Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Sean McDermott said that the soreness in Allen's foot "has dissipated," and he will play. Allen briefly exited last week's game for X-rays but returned and finished. His fantasy production was poor against a strong Cleveland defense. He'll face another tough matchup against the Eagles this week, but his upside makes him a must-start regardless of opponent or health. |

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) will not practice on Tuesday, Dec. 23, according to head coach Sean McDermott.
| Footballguys view: The Bills were already scheduled to hold a walk-through session on Tuesday. The walk-through was scheduled before Buffalo clinched its seventh straight playoff berth with the Colts' loss on Monday night. McDermott said it was too early to determine whether Allen would practice on Wednesday. McDermott said Allen, who hurt his foot late in the first half Sunday but returned to play the second half, experienced no setbacks. The coach said he anticipates the quarterback playing on Sunday, when the Bills host the Eagles. Allen has not missed a start since his rookie season in 2018. Stay tuned. |

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) is considered day-to-day because of the foot injury he suffered in Week 16, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Allen could miss some practice time this week, but McDermott expects Allen to be available for Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Allen took a 23-yard sack late in the first half of Sunday's game, but injured himself on the play. He told reporters later he tweaked his foot a little bit. He returned for the second half of the game -- after having precautionary X-rays on the foot. Allen said the pain subsided, but he clearly had to battle through the second half. He finished the game, completing just 12 of 19 passes for 130 yards. He failed to produce a TD running or passing. We'll watch for more on this one as Sunday afternoon's tilt with the Eagles draws nearer. |

Buffalo Bills TE Dalton Kincaid went without a reception in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns, and he was targeted just one time.
| Footballguys view: Kincaid missed two practices this week to manage his knee injury. Head coach Sean McDermott admitted that the injury wouldn't be allowed to heal while Kincaid plays through it. He's a risky play next week against the Eagles and might even be droppable heading into the fantasy championship week in most leagues. |

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook rushed 16 times for 117 yards and two touchdowns in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding a 17-yard reception on two targets.
| Footballguys view: Cook was the strongest force in the Bills offense on another dominant day that likely helped many fantasy teams advance to the finals. He and Jonathan Taylor will duel for the NFL rushing title down the stretch, with the Eagles up next for the Bills. |
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen completed 12-of-19 passes for 130 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns, while running seven times for just 17 yards.
| Footballguys view: All three Bills offensive touchdowns came via the ground by running backs in a bad break for Allen fantasy teams. Allen was one of the most valuable players in fantasy football all season, but this game likely eliminated a lot of teams that relied on him. Dawson Knox dropped a fourth down sure touchdown late in the game and Allen did get banged up enough on a first half sack to have his foot X-rayed at halftime. |

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) suffered a foot injury during the Week 16 game but was cleared to return to the game after undergoing X-rays on the foot.
| Footballguys view: Allen retreated into a 23-yard sack late in the first half of Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns. He injured himself on the play. "Just tweaked my foot a little bit," Allen told reporters after the game. He was asked whether the foot affected him in the final two quarters. "No, I don't think so," he said. The delivery wasn't entirely convincing, so it makes sense to watch the injury report this week, as the Bills prepare for a Week 17 visit from the Eagles. |
