Bills Mafia can rest easy.<\/p>\n
As foreseen by his head coach Sean McDermott earlier in the week, Josh Allen is good to go for the Buffalo Bills in their Week 9 tilt against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.<\/p>\n
McDermott told reporters on Friday that he anticipates the QB, who is dealing with a right should issue, to play against Joe Burrow and Co.<\/p>\n
Initially, Allen dinged up his throwing shoulder in Buffalo’s Week 6 win over the New York Giants and he aggravated it during a Week 8 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, after he missed Wednesday’s practice, Allen was a full participant in Thursday.<\/p>\n
Allen has completed an NFL-high 71.7% of his passes for 2,165 yards, 17 touchdowns and eight interceptions so far this season.<\/p>\n
This is a massive game for Allen and the Bills, whose 2022 season was ended by the Bengals in the Divisional Round by way of a dismal 27-10 loss. Allen struggled that day, completing 25 of 42 passes for 264 yards, no touchdowns, an interception and a 68.0 rating.<\/p>\n
The Bills (5-3) and Bengals (4-3) (1-5) kick off Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.<\/p>\n
