Bills' Allen says foot fine despite in-game X-ray

"CLEVELAND -- Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen walked alongside athletic trainers and into the locker room just before halftime of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Missing from his right foot was a cleat, and his gait was accompanied by a noticeable limp. But Allen was cleared to return and did not miss a single play after receiving an X-ray on the foot. Despite the Bills offense only scoring three points and not having a drive longer than 36 yards in the second half, Allen and the team pulled out a 23-20 win to improve to 11-4."

""Yeah, just tweaked my foot a little bit," Allen said after the game. "Just flamed up on me a little bit. Pain subsided, so we're good." Allen did not have any support or anything additional on his foot in the postgame locker room. "I don't have a follow-up yet from [head athletic trainer Nate Breske]," coach Sean McDermott said. "Josh seems like he's in good spirits in there. We'll see as we go. I'm sure they'll have further evaluations that they'll get to me.""

"The injury took place on a sack that was ultimately credited to both Browns defenders Myles Garrett and Alex Wright. On second-and-1 from the Buffalo 23 with 1:09 remaining in the second quarter, Allen dropped back but was pressured quickly and ran around, ultimately going backward to try and avoid Browns defenders before falling to the ground."
