While the Bills have listed the quarterback’s availability as questionable, he was present for the Friday practice for the first time since his injury last Sunday. However, as soon as the player saw the members of the press enter the facility, he was not ready to answer any questions.
He quickly picked up his gear off the ground and ran for the nearest exit to head inside, leaving the media only guessing about the condition of his elbow.

Some positive news for the Bills’ Mafia is that the QB was not wearing any sleeves or braces on his right elbow. However, he had some tape wrapped up around it. So while he was still practicing and is looking better than formerly expected, his return date is still hard to decipher. It appears the team and the MVP candidate are working hard on a quick comeback.
The Bills are gearing up to face the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. And Allen’s availability will hold a lot of importance. The Vikes are currently on top of the NFC North. Keeping a 7-1 record they are already 1 game over the Bisons, who are 6-2.

This season, the 7th overall pick of the 2018 NFL draft had taken the league by storm, proving to be a success story for the Bills. He was even leading the MVP race this season. However, he had an off day against their divisional rivals, the New York Jets.
He threw for 205 yards and even though he rushed for two TDs. He added 2 interceptions as well. But what scared the fans more than an off-day was hurting his right elbow.
While taking a sack in the game, Allen hurt his right elbow. Reportedly he is dealing with a UCL injury in the elbow of his throwing hand, making him highly questionable to play their next game on Sunday. And the Bisons themselves wouldn’t want to lose the player at such an important time and season.
