NFL Rumors: Bills QB Josh Allen Has Elbow Sprain Injury; Uncertain for Vikings Game

Josh Allen's status for Sunday's game is uncertain because of an injury to his throwing elbow.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Allen has a right elbow injury that is "up in the air" if he plays on Sunday.

From @GMFB: #Bills QB Josh Allen is dealing with a sprained right elbow, sources say, a UCL injury that will limit him this week. While it’s no sure thing that Allen plays vs the #Vikings, belief is it’s an injury he can manage moving forward. How he responds this week is key. pic.twitter.com/86HQb0Kdzz

Rapoport said that the belief is that Allen will be able to play despite the injury.

The Bills are concerned about any injury to Allen. He has thrown for 2,403 yards and 19 touchdown while completing 64.1% of his passes this season.

He has rushed for 362 yards and four scores for the Bills.

Allen injured his elbow last week when he was hit in the throwing arm by a New York Jets defensive lineman during a strip-sack.

He said there was some pain after the contest. We will get through it.

Sean said at the time that he was the head coach.

Josh loves to compete and he loves to be out there with his teammates. I wouldn't count him out. We are still evaluating the medical piece, that's the only thing I know about him. I will know more tomorrow for myself.

He missed four games as a result of that same injury. He hadn't missed a game since then, because he doesn't shy from contact once he tucks the ball and runs.

Case Keenum will start against his old team if Allen can't play.

In the past four years, the journeyman has only made 10 starts and was last a regular starter for the Denver Broncos.

In his first year as a starter for the Vikings, he led them to the playoffs.
