Josh Allen Discloses Details of His Foot Injury
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen recently disclosed important details about his foot injury, which he played through during the late regular season and playoffs. At Joe Brady’s introductory press conference as head coach, Allen made an appearance on crutches and in a walking boot, signaling the seriousness of his condition.
Details of Josh Allen’s Foot Injury
In a media session after the press conference, Allen revealed he was dealing with a broken bone in his right foot. He underwent a surgical procedure earlier this week to address a fifth-metatarsal avulsion. This type of injury typically has a recovery window of 8 to 10 weeks.
- Injury Date: December 21, 2025
- Injury Occurred: Week 16 vs. Cleveland Browns
- Recovery Time: 8-10 weeks
How It Affected His Play
Despite the severity of his injury, Allen continued to play. He sustained the injury before halftime against the Browns but returned for the second half, not missing any further action except for Week 18 when the starters rested against the New York Jets. Allen described the situation as “not ideal” and admitted it was “painful throughout the weeks.”
Outlook for Recovery
Allen’s focus is now on recovering for the 2026 season. With the projected recovery time in mind, he should be ready for the Bills’ offseason workout program. His commitment to the team was evident when he humorously suggested he could play on Sunday if needed, during a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.
For now, Allen’s priority is to heal and prepare for the upcoming season, ensuring he can perform at his best for the Buffalo Bills.
