Good article on Allen's elbow
Says he'll miss 3ish games based on sound reasoning from things we know so far. The article is to long to paste the whole thing but worth the read.

I project Josh Allen to miss at least three games as he rehabs from this injury.
This would give him 24 days from the date of injury which is on par with the research showing 26.4 days to return.
The fact that he could still throw a football 70 yards in the air with a
sprained UCL strongly suggests the injury is not as severe as in 2018.

"Once he notices media in the field house, Allen runs off." As if Bills are secretly preparing Allen for the Vikings--who, by the way, are not so secretly preparing for Allen.
He's not wearing a brace likely because he's not practicing. And he probably ran off because it was time to, not because your camera was there.

It cracked me up to see that tweet. They are milking this for all it's worth.
I don't know why they are milking it, other than maybe they think somehow it causes a problem for the Vikings? Is it that hard to have a game plan that accounts for either Allen or Keenum?
Regardless, it makes no sense to play him in an interconference game midseason with a risk of further injury and possible poor performance. And the betting market told me early in the week that he was out when it moved 6 points (a HUGE move for an NFL game), which is about the value between Allen and Keenum in terms of the line. It says to me that the Bills knew early in the week what the status was going to be, and that kind of stuff leaks to people who move money, always has, always will. The towel boy or whoever gets an envelope filled with cash as a thank-you.
If Allen comes out starting tomorrow then the Bills really fooled the whole world though I have no idea what that buys them. Maybe they just love the media attention? The Vikings will be ready for either guy imo.
And now the entire board that was 3-3.5 everywhere is painted 6 in one move(!). Allen apparently is playing.

#Bills QB Josh Allen is able to grip a football and he did some throwing on Friday. That gave enough confidence to proceed without elevating Matt Barkley from the practice squad and put Allen in line to play against the #Vikings despite an elbow sprain.

OR will Allen just be available as a back up to Keenum?
when Z gets a hold of Allen, rips his arm off & hands it to him, they may revisit said thinking…! ;) B)
Better be able to beat Josh Allen if you ever want to achieve anything beyond one and done.

@"PurplePastor" said: OR will Allen just be available as a back up to Keenum?That's what I thought, but the prevailing belief is that he's "likely" to start. I'm not convinced, but we'll see I guess.
If this is true, then why not practice? Is it just a pain tolerance issue?
