After a disappointing end to the 2025-26 season, the Buffalo Bills have revealed a crucial update regarding star quarterback Josh Allen’s injury. The Bills’ QB1 suffered injuries to his left knee and right finger before Buffalo’s loss to Denver in the AFC divisional round. Fast forward to now, and Josh Allen was seen using crutches and wearing a walking boot during an appearance at the team facility on Thursday for the introductory press conference of new head coach Joe Brady.

“Josh Allen is in a walking boot (right foot) at Joe Brady’s introductory press conference,” Bills reporter Dave Fetes reported this development via X.

Addressing this situation, Bills GM Brandon Beane said that despite Allen playing through the playoffs, he might need a procedure on his foot. However, he said Allen would be ready for the franchise’s offseason program, including OTAs.

“Bills GM Brandon Beane said QB Josh Allen might need a procedure on his foot, but if he does, he should be ready for OTAs,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported during the press conference.

Subsequently, after this media interaction, Allen revealed he underwent surgery for a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot, according to ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg. Allen had surgery in Birmingham, Alabama, on January 26, according to Beane.

“Not an ideal situation, painful throughout the weeks,” Allen said, reacting to his recent injury struggles.

The 2024 MVP’s injuries began towards the end of the season. However, he never missed a playoff game and completed 71.6% of his passes for 556 yards and four touchdowns while running for 99 yards and two touchdowns in the postseason. Allen was originally hurt against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16 before picking up another issue against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first round of the playoffs.

As Josh Allen continues to recover from his surgery, the star quarterback was also involved in the franchise’s decision to sign offensive coordinator Joe Brady as their new head coach. The former OC will replace long-term coach Sean McDermott, who was let go after the AFC Divisional defeat against the Denver Broncos.

Now moving into a new era as the Bills’ new head coach, Brady expressed enthusiasm during his press conference.

“I love Coach McDermott, and I am going to build upon the foundation he laid. But at the same time we have to move forward. It starts with a new energy, a new mentality, a new vision,” Brady said.

While the Bills receive the crucial update on Josh Allen’s injury, their fans are still concerned about their star quarterback’s health.

Bills Mafia raises concerns over Josh Allen’s injury

When images of Josh Allen walking on crutches surfaced on social media, Buffalo Bills fans were understandably worried about their QB1’s health and quickly raised concerns about his condition.

One fan wrote, Ouch, tough break, Josh—heal up quick, Bills need that cannon arm! While another tweeted, “Wow, horrible.”

Since taking over as the Bills’ quarterback midway through the 2018 season, Allen has started every game he’s played in. He’s started 127 games throughout his eight-year career and kept that streak alive during Buffalo’s regular-season finale against the New York Jets.

Hence, the Bills Mafia also poured with messages of support and blessings for their star signal-caller.

“Hope it heals sooner,” one fan tweeted while another wrote, “Josh Allen is on crutches suffering an unknown injury, but says he’ll be good to go for spring training, best wishes for a speedy recovery, Josh Allen.”

Similarly, a supporter also highlighted Allen’s ironman streak as he commented, “Yet another reason why I hold Josh Allen in the Highest regard. He’s a machine that plays thru every injury. Most QB’s would never. 2025=Broken foot. 2024=Broken hand. 2023=Torn ligament in his shoulder. 0 games missed.”

As Josh Allen continues his recovery, the Bills fans would want their star quarterback to be fully fit soon and finally end Buffalo’s Super Bowl draught.
