McDermott predicted earlier in the week.
On Friday, McDermott informed reporters that he expects the quarterback, who is battling a right shoulder injury, to play against Joe Burrow and Company.
Allen injured his throwing shoulder in Buffalo’s Week 6 victory over the New York Giants, and in Week 8’s victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he made it worse. Allen did, however, participate fully in Thursday’s practice after missing Wednesday’s.
Thus far this season, Allen has completed an NFL-high 71.7% of his passes for 2,165 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions.
Allen and the Bills, who lost badly to the Bengals 27-10 in the Divisional Round to end their 2022 season, have a lot riding on this game. That day, Allen had a difficult time passing for 264 yards on 25 of 42 attempts, with no touchdowns, one interception, and a 68.0 rating.
