Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen won’t play in preseason opener

When the Buffalo Bills welcome the Indianapolis Colts to Highmark Stadium at 4 PM Eastern Saturday to kick off their 2022 NFL preseason schedule, the team will do so without the services of at least one starter: Pro Bowl quarterback Josh Allen.

Before Thursday’s final practice of training camp at St. John Fisher University, head coach Sean McDermott informed the media that Allen, entering his fourth year as Buffalo’s starting QB, will be held out of the preseason opener.

“Josh is not going to play,” McDermott told the assembled members of the media.
