Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen is on track to play in the team's Week 4 matchup against the New England Patriots. Allen participated in practice on Wednesday, October 1st, 2026, and was not listed on the injury report following a knee concern from the previous week's game. This news provides a significant boost to the Bills, who were initially seven-point favorites but saw the spread adjust.
The betting line has since moved, with DraftKings Sportsbook now listing the Bills at -120 to cover a 6.5-point spread. Head coach Joe Brady expressed no concern over Allen's injury. If Allen continues to practice without issue, the line may revert to seven points by kickoff.
Allen, considered an MVP favorite, has guided the Bills to a perfect 3-0 record this season. He has completed 65.1 percent of his passes for 786 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions. Additionally, he has been a force on the ground, rushing for 114 yards and six touchdowns across three games, scoring twice in each contest. All indications point to Allen being fully available for Sunday's game.
