Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will not participate in the preseason game against the Cleveland Browns this Saturday at Huntington Bank Field. NFL Network reporter Cameron Wolfe has confirmed that Allen, along with most of the team’s starters, will be sidelined for the matchup.
The Bills defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-24 in the Wild Card round before losing 33-30 in overtime to the Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round.
Bills head coach Joe Brady said the starters could get 40 to 50 reps during the session and described the joint practice as being “as regular season as it gets. Wolfe reported that a few young starters could still see action, but most of Buffalo’s first-team players are expected to sit. With that work already completed, the Bills have little reason to risk Allen in another preseason game. The focus against Cleveland will instead be on younger players and roster battles. Allen will be replaced by Kyle Allen at quarterback.
