The Buffalo Bills won’t have their quarter-billion-dollar man on Friday night against the Detroit Lions, head coach Sean McDermott announced Wednesday. Josh Allen will not play in the preseason opener.
Allen isn’t injured, they just aren’t going to put him at risk.
“It’ll be on an individual player basis,” said McDermott on who will play Friday. “Some starters won’t play including Josh Allen. Some will.”
He did not name any other players but it would be surprising to see wide receiver Stefon Diggs play. He has missed this week with a knee injury and they won’t want to put him at risk.
