Brandon Beane, the Bills' general manager, has gone public with his only real concern about quarterback Josh Allen, and it's one that has not been revealed before. 'The only thing I'd get on to him is that he's got too many bruises on him,' Beane wrote in the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. We've got to work on taking less hits.' That's the only reason I'm going to ever criticize Josh is because I'm going to take less hits.'

Josh Allen is nursing a sore right throwing elbow, causing fear over the Buffalo Bills quarterback's future against the NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings this weekend. Sean McDermott said on Monday that he is only waiting the results of labs to determine the extent of the injury, which occurred a day earlier in a 20-17 loss to the New York Jets. Allen said that it was premature to decide whether or not he should train this week or play. 'We all know how competitive he is, and I would never count him out,' McDermott said. We're just taking it one day at a time.' Allen played down the pain after the game by saying: 'There's some minor pain, but we'll get through it.'
