While he’s not expected to miss any playing time over this, Rapoport says that this injury is one he’ll be monitoring.
With Allen being the anchor of the Bills offense, it’s clear why this NFL insider is keeping track of his injury.
But what could this mean for the Bills if there is something lingering after that hit on Sunday?
Bills Season Could Be In Jeopardy If Allen Has Lingering Issues From Sunday’s Hit
The Bills have turned into a dominant force in the AFC East, thanks to their star QB.
However, if the pain in his throwing arm gives him lingering issues, his game play might suffer.
Having this happen is a nightmare situation, as the Bills are 0-2 in the AFC East this season.
While some fans blindly believe their team has nothing to worry about, they need a reality check.
Both the Jets and Miami Dolphins are right behind them in the AFC East.
With both these teams having wins over the Bills, they can easily lose their division as the schedule gets tougher for them.
