Bills QB Josh Allen Says He Had Surgery for Broken Bone in Right Foot
- At Joe Brady's Jan. 29, 2026 press conference in Orchard Park, N.Y., Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen said he recently had surgery for a broken bone in his right foot and expects to be fully healthy for spring practices.
- Allen said he broke the fifth metatarsal late in the second quarter of a 23-20 win at Cleveland on Dec. 21, describing it as an older injury re-aggravated in Week 16.
- Playing through the injury, Allen noted `I had a little broken bone in there so they went in and took it out and cleaned it up` while on crutches and a walking boot, finishing the remainder of the season.
- Three days after the procedure, Allen said he would play this week if necessary, and medical estimates put his recovery at about 8-to-10 weeks, aligning with offseason availability and OTAs.
- As the Bills begin a rebuild after the Jan. 17 playoff exit, Allen praised owner Terry Pegula, the front office, and head coach Joe Brady, saying `What I saw was an owner in Pegula and a family that is doing everything they can to win a Lombardi Trophy and bring a trophy here to western New York.
