Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills had an injury scare on Sunday, December 21, when the team lost Allen to an injury late in the first half of their game against the Cleveland Browns. During a play heading into halftime, Allen was injured around his right ankle, and he was forced to exit the game.
Thankfully, that didn’t last long, and Allen was able to get back into the second half of the game and help the Bills pull off their 23-20 victory.

Not long after the injury, the Bills announced that Allen was cleared to come back into the game. “QB Josh Allen had X-rays on his foot and has been cleared to return,” they stated on X, to the relief of Bills viewers everywhere.
