After suffering an embarrassing 22-24 defeat against the Denver Broncos on Monday, the Buffalo Bills are gearing up to take on the New York Jets. Following the loss to the Broncos, the Bills’ record stands at 5-5 in the league, while the Jets hold a 4-5 record.
Ahead of the upcoming Sunday game, both the teams have released their Thursday injury report. However, there remains considerable worry surrounding quarterback Josh Allen’s shoulder injury, which has become a point of significant concern for the team.

For the Bills, there is good news as every single player participated in Thursday’s practice session. All the injured players, including Christian Benford (CB) suffering from a hamstring injury, Micah Hyde (S) dealing with his neck injury, Cam Lewis (DB) with a shoulder injury and Dorain Williams (LB) suffering from a knee injury, had limited participation in Thursday practice session.
On the other hand, Jordan Phillips (DT) with a knee injury, Trent Sherfield (WR) with an ankle injury were upgraded to limited participation from being listed as ‘Did Not Participate’ (DNP) on Thursday.
However, the Jets aren’t as fortunate as the Bills. Three of their players – Sam Eguaveon (LB) with a hip injury, Chazz Surratt (LB) dealing with an ankle injury, and OL Billy Turner (OL) nursing an injured finger did not participate in Thursday’s practice session. Meanwhile, Mekhi Becton (OL) with a knee injury, Will McDonald IV (DL) with an ankle injury, and Garrett Wilson (WR) dealing with an elbow injury, had limited participation.
Duane Brown (OL) with a hip injury, Kenny Yeboah (TE) nursing a hamstring injury, along with John Franklin-Myers (DL) and Quincy Williams (LB) both suffering from knee injuries, fully participated in Thursday’s practice session. There have been no changes in the designation of injured players from Wednesday to Thursday.
Josh Allen: How bad is the injury?
Allen sustained an injury during a game in week 6. While he hasn’t missed any games due to the injury, his performance has been consistently declining. Following the injury, he completed only 3 passes out of 15 with one interception before the game against the Broncos. Against the Broncos, he displayed his second-lowest total of the season, managing to record only 177 yards and just one touchdown.

This season, Allen has displayed solid performance with 246 completions and 19 touchdowns. However, he hasn’t been able to fully lead his team to its true potential. While there’s no official report on when Allen will regain full fitness, this uncertainty adds to the Bills’ struggles. Nevertheless, there’s no indication that he will miss any games despite the injury.
