Is Josh Allen playing tonight?

Yes, Josh Allen is playing against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. The Buffalo Bills superstar has shaken off his nose injury and looks good to go against rivals, the Miami Dolphins.

However, according to Yahoo Sports, Allen will likely wear a visor to protect his nose. It is a safety precaution typically adopted by players after suffering a nose injury, but they aren't looking to miss out on the action. Allen did not miss any training sessions in the lead-up to tonight's game.

When asked about Allen's nose, Bills' coach Sean McDermott said,

"Yeah, his nose did not get any bigger, I don't think. It's always looked good to me. I think it still looks good. I think we are in a good spot."

According to Yahoo Sports, Allen has made 107 straight starts, the longest active streak by a quarterback. The Wyoming product has been ever-present for the Bills since he was selected in the 2018 draft.
