Allen not concerned by shoulder injury: 'We'll be ready to go'
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen shrugged off any worries that he could be limited by a right shoulder injury.
"No concern," said Allen on Wednesday, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. "We'll be ready to go."
Allen suffered the ailment in last week's win over the New York Giants. His postgame X-rays were clean, and he downplayed the injury when speaking to reporters following the 14-9 victory.
The star signal-caller missed two plays after sustaining the ailment in the second quarter. He finished the game after having his shoulder checked and going through a concussion evaluation.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said earlier Wednesday that Allen would participate in practice.
"We'll see how it goes," McDermott said, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Allen is in the midst of another strong campaign, throwing for 1,576 yards and 13 touchdowns against six interceptions while leading Buffalo to a 4-2 record.
The Bills will go on the road to face the New England Patriots on Sunday.
