Josh Allen played through a broken foot during the playoffs, an injury he disclosed Tuesday at new HC Joe Brady’s introductory press conference. Allen arrived on crutches and wore a walking boot on his right foot. He told reporters he suffered a fracture to his fifth metatarsal, which required surgery Monday morning in Birmingham, Alabama. The reigning MVP said it was an older injury that he believes was aggravated in Week 16 against the Browns. “I had a little broken bone in there, so they went in and took it out and cleaned it up,” Allen said.

For Allen, the injury caps off another frustrating season in which Buffalo failed to meet expectations once again. With no Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, or Joe Burrow in the playoffs, many thought this was the year that Allen would lead the Bills to a Super Bowl. Instead, the Bills came up short, losing in the Divisional Round to Denver despite Allen gutting it out through the injury.

Allen finished the 2025 regular season with 3,668 passing yards, 579 rushing yards, 39 total touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Looking ahead, there are no long-term concerns for 2026, as he will have ample time to heal and rehab. In personal news, Allen expressed excitement about becoming a father, with he and his wife, Hailee Steinfeld, expecting their first child.
