Is Josh Allen playing tonight? Update on Bills QB for TNF clash vs Dolphins

Josh Allen started the 2024 regular season by dragging his team to victory against the Arizona Cardinals. Allen threw for two touchdowns and ran for another two as the Buffalo Bills secured a 34-28 victory over Kyler Murray and Co.

However, during a highlight reel play for his second rushing touchdown, Allen landed awkwardly and seemed to hurt his non-throwing hand. Ahead of the Bills' Week 2 matchup against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday, let's take a look at Allen's availability.

Is Josh Allen playing tonight?

Yes, Josh Allen is playing in tonight's game against the Miami Dolphins. Bills coach Sean McDermott cleared Allen to practice, and he will participate against the Dolphins.

Speaking on Tuesday, Allen said:

"It's good, ready to go. It felt like I threw it well today and was capable of doing all the things, so ready to go."

Allen will likely wear a glove in the game to protect the injured hand. He said he has experience wearing gloves due to the cold weather in Buffalo and other factors.

The Buffalo Bills offensive line must emphasize protecting their star quarterback, especially as he continues to recover from his hand injury. Allen hasn't missed a game since his rookie season in 2018.
