The Buffalo Bills emerged victorious with a 48-42 win over Detroit, but a few players sustained injuries during the game. However, none of the reported injuries appear to be serious. Among the notable concerns was quarterback Josh Allen, who went for precautionary X-rays after experiencing discomfort from an awkward fall late in the game. Fortunately, Allen reported no additional pain, and head coach Sean McDermott assured fans that Allen is in good health moving forward.
Josh Allen explained that the X-ray was purely for peace of mind, and all results came back clear. His confidence was echoed by McDermott, who emphasized that Allen would be fine and ready for future games. This positive update alleviated concerns about the Bills’ star quarterback as the team heads into the critical final stretch of the season.
In addition to Allen, tackle Spencer Brown also left the game in the second half but was later deemed “all good” by McDermott. A handful of other players, including CB Rasul Douglas (knee), S Taylor Rapp (neck/shoulder), S Damar Hamlin (back/ribs), DE Casey Toohill (ribs), and LB Matt Milano (groin), are reportedly improving. The team will evaluate their progress throughout the week before determining their availability for Week 16.
Notably, Douglas, Rapp, Hamlin, and Toohill were inactive for the game against Detroit due to their injuries, while Milano started but was sidelined after getting hurt during the match. Their statuses remain uncertain as the team monitors their conditions during practice sessions. McDermott expressed optimism about their recovery, suggesting that they are all moving in the right direction.
As the Bills prepare for the next matchup, they appear to be in a good position despite the injuries. The overall health of key players, particularly Josh Allen, offers reassurance for the team and its fans. The Bills will continue to prioritize recovery and preparation to maintain their momentum in the playoff race.
