Allen (right elbow) remained limited at practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen continues to manage a UCL issue in his throwing elbow, but it's something that he played through Week 10, and the QB should be available for Sunday's scheduled home contest against the Browns, barring any setbacks. It remains to be seen, however, if Allen heads into the weekend with an official Week 11 injury designation. Added context on that front will arrive no later than Friday. Plus, it's worth noting that NFL.com relays that the league is monitoring weather in the Buffalo area ahead of the weekend, with a major snowstorm expected to hit Western New York in the coming days. For now, Buffalo and Cleveland are slated to kick off in Orchard Park at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Head coach Sean McDermott said that Allen (elbow) will be a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McDermott previously told Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com that the quarterback came out of this past Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Vikings in a "good spot" in terms of his right elbow injury. However, since the UCL issue is likely to be a lingering concern for Allen, he's expected to have his practice reps managed ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns. Barring any setbacks, Allen is in line to start this weekend, but he may need to practice fully by Friday in order to avoid an injury designation.

Although Allen and the Bills had a rough outing in Sunday's overtime loss to the Vikings, coach Sean McDermott and offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey stated Monday that the quarterback didn't have any throws he was incapable of making due to his elbow sprain, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't Allen's arm that cost the Bills the game Sunday, as the star QB threw for 330 yards and ran for another 84, but some costly decisions by both Allen and his teammates handed the team a devastating loss, the second straight game the Bills have blown a double-digit lead. While the staff did mention it cut designed run plays for Allen out of Sunday's game plan, fantasy managers should be able to proceed with him as normal the rest of the way. While his elbow is not 100 percent, the word has been that he may not be able to do much more damage to it by playing through the pain. If there's any consolation to Allen's sloppy play of late (he has six interceptions over the last three weeks), it might just be that Buffalo now could have to play its starters full force all the way through Week 18 as it fights for playoff positioning instead of just coasting to a bye, as that's how the stretch run looked to be shaping up just a few short weeks ago.

Allen completed 29 of 43 passes for 330 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Vikings. He added six rushing attempts for 84 yards and lost a fumble.

EDGE Analysis

Allen had been nursing a right elbow injury but didn't look limited in any way on the field. Playing in a light Buffalo snow, Allen displayed his trademark physicality at the end of multiple big plays on the ground while topping 80 rushing yards for a second consecutive game. Devin Singletary's first two rushing touchdowns of the season accounted for Buffalo's first 14 points before Allen's 11-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Davis gave the Bills a 24-10 lead in the final minute of the first half. Allen stayed down after attempting a tackle following a fourth-quarter interception but returned to the game and lost a fumble in Buffalo's end zone for Minnesota's go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute remaining. He then benefited from a controversial non-review of a Davis catch along the sideline and a defensive pass interference penalty to set up a game-tying field goal with two seconds remaining in regulation, but Allen was picked off in the end zone to end the game after Minnesota's go-ahead field goal in overtime. After a 6-1 start, Allen and the Bills have dropped two in a row heading into a Week 11 visit from the Browns.

Allen (right elbow) will start Sunday's game against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is dealing with an ulnar collateral ligament injury that he sustained during Week 9 action, but he's active and will get the starting nod Sunday, with backup Case Keenum on hand in the event that Allen is limited at all or suffers any setbacks versus Minnesota

Allen (elbow) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday, Allen was able to log a limited session Friday before being officially listed as questionable by Buffalo. Allen, who is dealing with an ulnar collateral ligament injury that he sustained during Week 9 action, thus is available for Sunday's contest along with Case Keenum, while Matt Barkley wasn't elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of Week 10. Though the Bills haven't confirmed their starter versus Minnesota, Adam Schefter of ESPN previously relayed that the belief is that Allen will get the assignment.

Allen (elbow), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Vikings, is expected to suit up and start, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is expected to play through his UCL injury Sunday, as the Bills have reportedly been assured by multiple arm doctors and specialists that the star quarterback won't have any added risk of worsening the injury if he suits up versus Minnesota. Buffalo also elected not to elevate Matt Barkley from the practice squad Saturday, another indication that Allen is trending toward active status. Case Keenum remains the only other quarterback on the active roster. Head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Allen's availability is "an hour-to-hour situation," however, so fantasy managers will need to continue monitoring things until official confirmation arrives when Buffalo releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

The Bills did not elevate a quarterback from the practice squad Saturday, which means Allen (elbow) is trending toward playing in Sunday's contest against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

If Matt Barkley had been elevated to the active roster, the Bills would have had three quarterbacks potentially available Sunday, likely signaling an absence for the MVP frontrunner. Expect a more official confirmation from the team prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but at least for now, the lack of a Barkley elevation seems to bode well for Allen's status in what amounts to a pivotal contest for both squads.

Allen (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings after being deemed a limited practice participant Friday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Brown, Allen wasn't on the field for the media-access portion of Friday's practice, but the quarterback evidently got in some work behind the scenes. At this stage, Allen's Week 10 availability is up in the air, with head coach Sean McDermott telling Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com earlier Friday that the signal-caller's status is being viewed as an "hour-to-hour situation." With that in mind, Allen is shaping up as a game-day call ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If Allen is unable to play versus Minnesota, backup Case Keenum would be in line to draw the start for Buffalo.

Allen (elbow) is not participating in the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Sean McDermott reiterated Friday that Allen is considered "hour to hour," per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, so it's possible that the star quarterback's status could come down to the wire as Sunday's contest against the Vikings draws nearer. Friday's official practice report will at least provide Allen with an official game designation, though it appears he's now missed three straight practices. Case Keenum will be in line to start versus his former team if Allen's right elbow injury prevents him from suiting up in Week 10.
