Josh Allen is undoubtedly one of the stars of the 2024 NFL season, leading the Buffalo Bills to the top of the AFC East with a 12-3 record and a playoff qualification. To the surprise of fans, the MVP candidate quarterback confirmed that an injury has been with him since the beginning of the current campaign.

The Bills will face the New York Jets next Sunday and Allen will be on the field again to add to his mark of 26 touchdowns, an argument for being considered one of the best players of the current season. The merit is even greater considering the Buffalo quarterback has been dealing with an injury for months.

Allen confirmed that he fractured his left hand in the Week 1 game against the Arizona Cardinals on a touchdown run in the fourth quarter of that win. The curious thing is that the Bills quarterback didn’t miss any practices in those days. “It’s the left hand, so it doesn’t really matter that much,” the Buffalo franchise player said to Buffalo News.

In Week 15, Allen had suffered a fall that impacted his left shoulder, but he was not on the injury report for the Week 16 game. He received a hit to his right hand in Sunday’s win over the Patriots, so the Buffalo franchise star will need to preserve his fitness.
