Josh Allen didn't end the regular season in perfect health.
The Buffalo Bills' quarterback battled an injury to his lower right leg, down in his ankle area around his right foot.
It wasn't a major issue, necessarily. It didn't make him miss any game time.
But it was there, and it's something worth monitoring as the playoffs get underway.
For the Bills to maximize their postseason journey, they need Allen on the field at full strength.
That journey starts Saturday in Jacksonville against the Jaguars.

Is Josh Allen injured?
Josh Allen may be hurting a bit, but it's not a major injury at this point.
He got to rest in Week 18, handing off on the first snap and then chilling on the sideline the rest of the game as backup Mitchell Trubisky handled the win over the Jets.
Allen hurt his ankle initially against the Cleveland Browns as he tried to escape pressure and was brought down near the goal line.
He then appeared to be limping around a bit again against the Philadelphia Eagles the following week.
It's just something worth watching if Allen is brought down in a way that puts his right foot or ankle at risk. It's probably close to find, but it's not something any Bills fan will want to see tweaked.
