Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen sustained a blow to his left knee in the fourth quarter of the team's Week 3 win against the Los Angeles Chargers. The injury occurred on Sunday, causing Allen to limp as he left the field, though he remained in the game to help secure a 24-16 victory.
Sports medicine physician Dr. Jesse Morse offered an assessment, suggesting a possible MCL sprain with a bone bruise. He detailed potential recovery scenarios based on the injury's grade, indicating that a mild sprain might allow Allen to play in the next game, while more severe injuries could lead to missed time and reduced mobility.
Allen's performance in the game was mixed, with 16 completions on 26 passes for 204 yards, accompanied by two interceptions and a fumble lost. He also rushed for 22 yards and two touchdowns. Allen himself acknowledged the team's offensive struggles, crediting the defense for the win amid five total turnovers.
