Reports indicate that the 29-year-old quarterback came off the field limping after being sacked on a play, according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. Medical staff were seen tending to his lower body on the sidelines.
" Josh Allen was sacked on 2nd-and-1. [The] Bills offense is now coming off the field to punt, and Allen is limping. Head athletic trainer Nate Breske [is] looking at his lower body on the bench."
After being looked at by the medical staff in the locker room, Josh Allen returned to the field to begin the second half, per Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network. The star quarterback had his foot X-rayed, and the results were good enough for him to return to action.
"Josh Allen just ran out to [the] sidelines to start [the] 2nd half. Looks like [a] crisis averted. Allen had X-rays on his foot and has been cleared to return."
