Former 17+ year NFL head team doctor, turned NFL injury analyst, David J. Chao, discussed Josh Allen’s injury today on his “Pro Football Doc Podcast.”

Chao, who breaks down injuries from tape based on his experience in the field, had a rather promising evaluation for Allen.

“He hyper extended his elbow. I don’t think this is going to be an ulnar collateral ligament, or a Tommy John issue, where there’s surgery and long-term problems, where he’s going to miss extended time. I think it’s just going to be a matter of soreness… I just didn’t see anything that would make me think his season is over, based on video.”

Earlier today, NFL Network reported that Allen was scheduled for an MRI to further diagnose the injury.

Head coach Sean McDermott announced during today’s press conference, that Allen is currently “week-to-week,” which is a more severe designation then day-to-day.

Typically players miss at least one game with that designation, however McDermott did not rule Allen out of Sunday’s game vs. the Colts just yet.

If Allen is unable to go, McDermott will have to choose between second-year quarterback, Nathan Peterman and recently signed veteran, Derek Anderson.
