With a few minutes left in the first quarter against the Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was tackled from behind and hit the turf hard. He immediately rolled over onto his back in obvious pain, favoring his left arm. Everyone’s hearts went into their stomachs. Turns out, we needn’t worry.
When he came off the field, Allen had a quick chat with trainers and went immediately to the bench. They wrapped his left elbow with what the broadcast said was something for turf burn.
After the game, Allen said he landed hard on his shoulder and it went numb after the hit. Luckily feeling returned quickly.
Later in the game he was shown shaking out his right hand between plays. He didn’t mention it later.
Buffalo has a slew of injuries following this game but 10 days to rest up before playing the Pittsburgh Steelers after Thanksgiving.
