Bills QB hurts throwing hand vs Patriots

On By Littum

Josh Allen played through most of the season with a broken left hand. He injured his right hand against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Allen scrambled for 7 yards in the third quarter and was rolled over by linebacker Yannick Ngakoue. Allen’s right elbow appeared to slam into Ngakoue’s helmet. Allen stood up and held his throwing hand, trying to shake it free.

Allen talked to a trainer on the sideline as he flexed his hand and threw on the sideline. He took a seat on the bench with a glove on his right hand. Allen didn’t miss a play.

Allen hit his elbow, which led to a lack of feeling in his hand, and it’s not expected to be serious or limiting, CBS sideline reporter Evan Washburn reported later in the fourth quarter.

Allen hit the funny bone on his left hand in a win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. He said it felt like his hand was “burnt.”

He received X-rays on his right shoulder after a “funky fall” in last week’s 48-42 win against the Detroit Lions.
