ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott says quarterback Josh Allen has a sprained foot and is currently day-to-day.
Allen appeared to suffer the injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 33-27 overtime loss to the reigning Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
McDermott made the announcement during a Zoom meeting Monday afternoon with reporters.
McDermott says the team will evaluate Allen throughout the week heading into Sunday's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. He added that the Bills are going to take it one day at a time and see where it goes.
"We're always going to air on the side of caution in terms of player safety," McDermott said.
Allen threw for 308 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 109 yards and a TD in the Buffalo Bills' 33-27 in the loss to the Bucs on Sunday.
"Josh is one of the toughest competitors, one of the most resilient football players and people I've been around," veteran center Mitch Morse said about Allen's performance after the game.
"You saw the pain he was in, and still asking for QB runs and still asking to put it on his back. When you have a guy like that step into a huddle, you know, you're so prideful in having a quarterback like that.".
