Josh Allen<\/a> is tweaking his helmet to give his face a little bit of extra protection after a Week 2 injury.<\/p>\n

The Buffalo Bills<\/a>‘ quarterback added a visor<\/a> to his helmet ahead of the team’s practice session on Tuesday. The change comes after Allen suffered an injury to his nose in Week 2’s clash with the New York Jets<\/a>, when defensive tackle Micheal Clemons<\/a>‘ left hand wacked him in the face as Allen took a sack.<\/p>\n

The injury caused Allen to miss about a minute and a half of the first quarter \u2013 just two plays. He returned to the game for the start of the second quarter with cotton gauze shoved up his left nostril.<\/p>\n

After the game, Allen, with some visible bruising around his nose, told reporters, “We can breathe, so it’s good.”<\/p>\n

Allen has not been listed on the Bills<\/a>‘ injury report at all this week, meaning he’ll be a full go for Thursday night’s divisional matchup with the Miami Dolphins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Buffalo quarterback has been practicing with a visor on to provide some extra protection for the upper half of his face and told reporters Tuesday that he plans to wear it during the game. Allen has never previously worn a visor on his helmet in an NFL game, though he said he did wear one while at Wyoming during his collegiate career.<\/p>\n

Allen should be a full go for the Bills’ “Thursday Night Football” meeting with the Dolphins<\/a> barring any drastic status change.<\/p>\n

Trubisky is in the second year of a two-year deal he signed with the Bills in 2024 to join the team for a second stint as Allen’s backup. He appeared in Sunday’s game against the Jets after Allen’s injury and completed one of two pass attempts for 32 yards.<\/p>\n

Buechele re-signed with Buffalo on a one-year deal in January, was cut from the 53-man roster ahead of the late August roster cut deadline, then re-signed to the team’s practice squad. After initially signing with the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> as an undrafted free agent in 2021, Buechele has yet to appear in a game.<\/p>\n
