Bills QB Josh Allen to have X-rays on left hand
Sep 8, 2024; Orchard Park, New York, USA; Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (17) leaps for a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals in the fourth quarter at Highmark Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Mark Konezny-Imagn Images Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen said his heavily taped left hand is "fine," but expects to have X-rays to confirm his plans to not miss any time.
Allen passed for 232 yards and accounted for four touchdowns for the Bills in a 34-28 comeback win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. He scored two rushing touchdowns that involved heavy contact and hurt his hand on the second one.
"The first one, I kind of lowered the shoulder knowing it was a corner. The second one, I knew it was (safety) Budda (Baker), and he'll lower the boom on you," Allen said. "So I decided to go up and over. Probably can't make a living doing that."
Bills head coach Sean McDemott said he would have more information on Allen on Monday after speaking with team medical personnel.
While cradling the ball to protect it from closing Cardinals defensive lineman Justin Jones and Baker, Allen went airborne over Baker to complete a 6-yard touchdown run with 8:44 left in the fourth quarter.
As he cleared the goal line, Allen went to the ground and landed on his left hand under the full force of his own right elbow and body weight.
Athletic trainers on the sideline tended to Allen, who returned the next possession with tape on the hand.
