Team news: Buffalo Bills | Page 12

Head coach Sean McDermott said on Monday that there was no further issue with Josh Allen's elbow.

McDermott said Allen’s elbow is in a “good spot” coming out of the game and that the team will determine his practice schedule for the week. Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey added that the game plan on Sunday was not limited by Allen’s injury, the story said. It also added there weren't many throws that were off the table in terms of play calling. Allen should be good for Week 11's game. The Bills host the Browns.

Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy is getting an MRI on his ankle, but heading into the MRI, the belief is he strained a muscle behind his ankle. He couldn't put any pressure on it yesterday, so he couldn't run routes. Testing will tell how long he's out.

If Jeudy is forced to miss extensive time, Courtland Sutton would become the team's WR1 and de facto target hog. The only problem is, Russell Wilson, and this offense in general, will still cap his ceiling as a fantasy WR2. Kendall Hinton easily recorded a career-high with his 47 routes in Week 10, turning five targets into four receptions and 62 yards.

The Bills chose not to elevate QB Matt Barkley from the practice squad, a sign that Josh Allen could start Sunday against the Vikings.

Allen did not practice this week with an elbow sprain but did some throwing on Friday and is able to grip the football. The Bills seem to feel comfortable enough with how Allen looks and them not elevating Barkley shows the Bills look like they’ll roll with Allen, considering the only other quarterback on their active roster is Case Keenum.

Josh Allen was not on the field during the brief portion of practice open to the media.

Case Keenum is almost assuredly starting in Week 10, with Allen still being held out of Friday's practice. Keenum would have a great arsenal of weapons to work with, but without Allen's incredible rushing floor, he won't be a locked-in QB1 option.

Raiders also are placing WR Hunter Renfrow on injured reserve due to his oblique injury. So on the same day, both Renfrow and Darren Waller are being placed on IR, meaning they’re out at least four games each.

Related Players: Foster Moreau, Davante Adams, Mack Hollins, Keelan Cole

The team basically has no more excuses to avoid using Davante Adams in a hyperactive role, ala his 17 targets in Week 9. Mack Hollins has already been worked heavily into the offense, while Keelan Cole will almost assuredly have to be shoved into the WR3 role with what is now a barren WR depth chart. Hollins can be considered a Flex play, while Davante Adams has weekly upside to be the overall WR1 and Foster Moreau is a matchup-based streaming option at TE.

Word is Josh Allen has expressed confidence to teammates he’ll be able to play Sunday vs. the Vikings but that’s what I’d expect him to say. We’ll see as Sunday draws closer for the Bills’ franchise QB.

Mike Giardi reported Allen didn't practice on Wednesday and also tweeted the team says they have confidence in Keenum if he'd be needed. It's not a shock Allen isn't practicing today but you'll want to monitor him the rest of the week. Giardi tweeted HC Sean McDermott said the team will use common sense with Allen.

The injury is considered not to be major, but Allen's status for this week is certainly up in the air as of now. Allen seems like the type of player who would play through it, but the team could lean toward sitting him with the idea of keeping him healthy for the long haul. Continue to monitor his practice status this week. Keenum would be under center if Allen doesn't play but it's obviously a downgrade for the offense in terms of fantasy.

The tweet went on to say that Allen's injury is a UCL injury that will limit him this week. While it’s no sure thing that Allen plays vs the Vikings, belief is it’s an injury he can manage moving forward. How he responds this week is key, according to Rapoport.

Bills QB Josh Allen is likely to be limited this week because of an elbow injury suffered late in Sunday’s loss but as of now it’s considered a situation to monitor rather than an ailment that would keep him out of the game, sources say. He’s still undergoing tests to be sure.

Still a full week ahead of us, but this isn't great news, and could be part of the reason Allen is coming off of his worst game of the season. Case Keenum is currently the only other active quarterback on the team's roster
