Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was limited in practice all week with his elbow injury but will play against the Browns.
Allen, who surprisingly played last week after his Week 10 partial UCL tear, is still at risk for further damage to his throwing elbow.
He may not have major issues throwing this week, but the real issue would be to get his arm hit in the same way he was injured Week 10.
If that happens and his elbow ligament is not fully healed, he could suffer a full UCL tear and require season-ending Tommy John surgery.
Last week, the Pro Football Docs detailed why Allen was expected to miss multiple games to allow his sprained ligament to heal before returning.
Instead, he played and finished 29 for 43 for 330 yards, a touchdown pass and 2 interceptions. He also had 6 rushes for 84 yards and is not in danger of further injuring his elbow while rushing.
The Vikings logged four quarterback hits last week, while the Bills focused on shorter routes and getting the ball out quick. Allen went 1 for 5 on passes over 20 yards.
The Browns are second worst in the league in quarterback knockdowns and are middle of the pack in hurries with 28 this season.
The Bills are favored by 7.5 points at Ford Field in Detroit due to weather. The over/under for the game is 49.5, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
