Injury bug bites
A very scary moment for the Bills in Week 4 was Allen going down to the turf and holding his left shoulder afterword. A broken collar bone could’ve been a massive blow to a team that appears to be in the driver’s seat early this season.
Rolling out to his left, Allen flicked a pass and when tackled by Keisean Nixon. But that play occurred on third down, the Bills then punted, and as it turns out, Allen never missed a snap. Still, it’s an injury situation to monitor this week. Just on Thursday, Jets quarterback Sam Darnold injury his shoulder, finished the game, but now might miss time.
Unfortunately for the Bills, the surface is only being scratched when it came to their quarterback. Cornerback Levi Wallace left the game with an ankle injury very early in the contest and did not return. In the fourth quarter, linebacker Matt Milano left the game with a shoulder injury as he appears to be dinged up again. On offensive, wide receiver Cole Beasley returned but left with a foot injury while Brian Winters did not after suffering a knee injury.
Through four games, the Bills have had a lengthy injury report at times, but guys have still played. Hopefully the injury bug doesn’t follow the Bills out to Tennessee next week, then again, if the Titans can even play.
