Josh Allen cleared to play against Dolphins after hand injury
Why it matters: The Buffalo Bills and their fans can breathe a sigh of relief as quarterback Josh Allen has been cleared to practice and play in the upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins.
- Allen injured his left hand during Week 1 but continued to play and had a strong performance against the Arizona Cardinals.
What's new: Despite initial concerns about the severity of Allen's hand injury, he received medical clearance to participate in team activities without limitations.
Yes, but: While Allen has been cleared to play, the Bills will be without cornerback Taron Johnson (forearm) and defensive end Dawuane Smoot (toe), which could impact the team's defense against the Dolphins.
What to watch: Keep an eye on Allen's performance and any discomfort or limitations he may experience during the game. His ability to effectively throw and handle the ball will be crucial for the Bills' offensive success.
What's next: With Allen back in action, the Bills will look to continue their strong start to the season and maintain their momentum in the highly competitive AFC East division.

Head coach Sean McDermott: "He was able to do it, and so we'll just see how it goes today more than anything."
-
Josh Allen on his rushing touchdowns: "The first rushing touchdown, I kind of lowered the shoulder, knowing that was a corner. Second time, I knew it was Budda, and Budda's a good player and he'll lay the boom on you, so I decided to go up and over, but probably can't make a living doing that, but here we are."
The bottom line: The availability of their star quarterback provides a boost of confidence for the Bills as they aim to build on their early-season success. Allen's resilience and determination to continue playing through injuries demonstrate his commitment to the team's success.
