Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been dealing with an ankle/foot issue for the past couple of weeks, and he has played through it.
Except in Week 18.
In a meaningless game, Allen took one snap before he was wrapped in bubble wrap by head coach Sean McDermott in preparation for the playoffs.
With the Bills on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Allen will need to be at full strength if Buffalo is to advance to the next round.
But will he play? NFL.com's Judy Battista dropped a big update on Monday.
"He is fully expected to play this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card round," Battista said. "No concerns there. He will gear up and be fine for the playoffs."

Bills' "real" season begins
Entering the 2025 regular season, Buffalo was in the unenviable position of having people not interested at all in what they did until the playoffs arrived.
Having been a regular-season force for years with Allen, the Bills have always come up short in the postseason, mostly against Patrick Mahomes.
But now, everyone takes notice of Buffalo.
The real season is now beginning, and on the road in Jacksonville isn't exactly an easy place to play.
With the pressure on Allen and McDermott to bring a Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo, it feels like now or never for the AFC franchise.
