Pressed for more information on Allen’s injury, McDermott said the team will lean on doctors to determine Allen’s availability for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.

"I’m not saying that he is definitively playing this week. That is described to me as being up in the air. Essentially, we do not know if Josh Allen is going to be on the field this week. From what I understand, he is expected to be limited in practice and then will be judged day-by-day to see how he progresses."
