Josh Allen’s injury: Here’s what we know about star Buffalo Bills quarterback’s elbow
Corrections Clarifications: A previous version of this story misstated the Bills’ home venue. It is Highmark Stadium.
Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott told reporters Wednesday that Josh Allen is day to day and that “we’ll see” if the quarterback is able to play Sunday as he deals with an elbow injury.Â
According to reports, Allen has an injury to the ulnar collateral ligament on his right elbow.
“I’m not going to get into the medical report,” McDermott said.
Allen will not practice Wednesday and is likely to be a limited participant – if he does practice – this week as the Bills (6-2) prepare to host the Minnesota Vikings (7-1) on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y.

Allen suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter during the Bills’ second loss of the season last Sunday against the New York Jets.
More from Wednesday’s updateÂ
When pressed by reporters on Allen’s injury, McDermott did not say much, including if Allen has thrown since Sunday’s game.Â
“Josh is day-to-day,” McDermott said. “I appreciate that. Good try.”
According to reporters, McDermott also said at one point he was “not going to answer any more questions about Josh.”
If Allen is unable to play against the Vikings, Bills backup quarterback Case Keenum would be in line to start.
The Bills evaluated Allen for his injuries after the game, and on Monday and Tuesday.
How the elbow injury happened
Allen reached for his right elbow after his forearm was bent backward in the crossfire of a strip sack by Jets defensive lineman Bryce Huff in the Bills’ final drive of the game last Sunday.
Allen was seen visibly bothered by the play, reaching for his elbow and flexing his forearm and wrist before his final two plays.
Allen’s next throw wasn’t encouraging: It was a pass that traveled about 27 yards before falling at the feet of his receiver at the first down marker.
