Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen struggled mightily against the Houston Texans on Sunday, but his performance wasn’t the only thing that got him in the spotlight this week. Allen was briefly assessed for a concussion in the medical tent during the game after colliding with the turf, but he returned to play almost immediately.
The incident drew scrutiny in an era of increasing head-injury awareness, but the NFL and NFLPA announced on Friday that the Bills handled Allen’s hit correctly. ”
The NFL and NFLPA have received reports from the Unaffiliated Neurotrama Consultant and Booth Spotters, and those reports confirm that the steps required by the concussion protocol were followed in the evaluation and clearance of… Allen in last Sunday’s game,” the league and union said in a statement via NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Allen concluded the game with nine completions on 30 attempts for 131 yards and one touchdown, the lowest completion % of his career. Buffalo, with Allen in tow, is set to face the New York Jets on Monday in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
