Here’s the latest on Josh Allen:
- In early 2026, multiple outlets reported that Allen was dealing with a foot injury late in the 2025 season, with discussions around his readiness for the postseason and updates suggesting he would start the regular-season finale after being listed as “good to go” by Bills coach Sean McDermott. This reflects ongoing concern about his foot, but initial reports indicated he was set to play in the final game of the regular season.[2][4]
- During the 2025-2026 playoff run, Allen faced a series of injuries but continued to play through them, including a notably tough Wild Card performance and a Divisional Round scenario where reports indicated he was contending to be ready for the next round, albeit with foot and other injuries in play.[5][6]
- There were subsequent reports that Allen underwent surgery on his right foot after finishing the season, with statements noting he played through the injury in late December and into January, and that the surgery addressed a pre-existing issue aggravated during the final weeks. This provides context for his recovery timeline into 2026 offseason plans.[7]
Illustration: A summary timeline
- December 2025: Foot injury sustained; Allen continues to play through late-season games.[4]
- January 2026: Reports indicate he played through playoffs with injuries; some updates suggested continued availability for next rounds.[6][5]
- January 2026: Postseason surgery on right foot confirmed; recovery underway for spring practice and 2026 season prep.[7]
If you’d like, I can pull more detailed, up-to-date items from specific outlets (e.g., ESPN, NFL Network, Bills press conferences) and summarize with a year-by-year injury timeline, or create a quick chart of injury timeline and status changes. Also, let me know if you want strictly reputable sources (team communications and major national outlets) or a broader media sweep. I can tailor the depth to your needs.
