Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is out of his walking boot and looking positioned for a full recovery from his right foot injury in time for the start of offseason workouts, GM Billy Beane told reporters Monday at the league’s spring meetings in Phoenix.
“His foot, I don’t want to say it’s 100 percent, but he’s good,” Beane said. “When he gets back in April, we expect him to be full-go.”
Allen played the last regular-season game and Buffalo’s two playoff games through a broken bone in his foot sustained in Week 16 vs. Cleveland. He had surgery to repair the injury shortly after the season came to an end in the divisional round at Denver, but made it clear to reporters when he showed up at new head coach Joe Brady’s press conference in a walking boot that he would have kept playing had the Bills advanced to the AFC championship game.
“Our medical team has checked up on him,” Beane said, “and he’s talked to the surgeon that’s done it. I don’t know every single conversation they’ve had, but (Bills head athletic trainer) Nate Breske and (Bills lead physician) Les Bisson have let us know he’s on track and should be ready to roll once we’re actually doing football stuff in April.”
The 2024 MVP and four-time Pro Bowler who turns 30 in May led Buffalo to its first road playoff win in 33 years at Jacksonville in last season’s wild-card round. He’s thrown for 30,102 yards, 220 touchdowns and 94 interceptions in 128 games (127 starts) over eight seasons with the Bills.
