Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen might require surgery to repair an injury to his right foot, but he would be ready to take part in organized team activities this offseason, team president of football operations Brandon Beane said Wednesday.

Beane did not state when a potential surgery could take place.

The foot injury occurred Dec. 21 in Buffalo's 23-20 victory against the Cleveland Browns and impacted the 2024 league MVP the following week in a 13-12 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

That was one of the ailments that Allen, 29, played through during the playoffs. He also sustained right finger and left knee injuries when the Bills beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-24 in the wild-card round of the playoffs.

The Bills were eliminated last Saturday in a 33-30 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC divisional round.

Beane announced Allen's health news at an end-of-season news conference. He was joined by owner Terry Pegula, who for the first time spoke about his decision to fire head coach Sean McDermott after the Bills were eliminated from the playoffs and again fell short of reaching the Super Bowl.
