Whether Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen plays this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings likely will be decided at the last minute.
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Allen is “hour-to-hour” with a right elbow injury. He sustained the injury during the final drive of the Bills’ 20-17 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.
“We are in an hour-to-hour situation here to see how he progresses through the day,” McDermott said on WGR 550.
Allen practiced for the first time this week on Friday and was a limited participant. The Bills listed him as questionable against the Vikings on their Friday afternoon injury report.
Former Vikings quarterback Case Keenum would draw the start should Allen be unable to play for the Bills (6-2).
While Allen’s availability is in question, McDermott ruled out safety Jordan Poyer and defensive end Greg Rousseau for the contest versus the Vikings (7-1). Poyer will miss his second consecutive game with an elbow injury, while Rousseau is considered week-to-week with a high ankle sprain.
