Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has undergone surgery to repair a fifth-metatarsal avulsion in his foot, according to Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) of NFL Network.
Per Rapoport, the procedure carries an estimated recovery timeline of 8-10 weeks. This schedule ensures that Allen should be "fine" and ready to participate in the Bills' offseason program later this spring. The injury was reportedly an older issue that was re-aggravated during the latter portion of the season, necessitating a surgical fix to ensure long-term stability.
By electing for the procedure now, Allen is expected to be at full strength well before the start of the 2026 NFL season. The Bills are coming off a season where Allen once again led the team to the postseason, and his health remains the top priority for the franchise heading into the new year. While the team has not yet released a formal statement, the timeline provided by Rapoport indicates the star quarterback will be available for all upcoming team activities.
