"We are literally in an hour-to-hour situation here just looking at how he progresses through the day and as he goes through his different tests, medically, making sure he’s able to check the boxes in a progression to where we can see if we can proceed through the course of the day here," head coach Sean McDermott told the media before Friday’s session.

He noted that the team has "planned" for the possibility that backup quarterback Case Keenum may need to step in but did not elaborate.
"At the end of the day, Josh needs to be Josh if he’s able to play. And if Case plays, then Case needs to be Case and run the offense."

Allen missed practice Tuesday and Wednesday and was listed as limited Friday despite not being seen on the field during the open portion of the day. He injured his elbow on Buffalo’s final drive against the Jets on Sunday when defensive end Bryce Huff forced a fumble by hitting Allen’s arm on a pass attempt.
Allen reportedly suffered a UCL sprain but avoided a major injury.
