Running was elevated by the Bills back in Duke Johnson Cornerback Xavier Rhodes To the active roster on Saturday. Rhodes is a new cornerback for the rookies Kaiir Elam (ankle) is listed as uncertain and there is uncertainty about when Tre’Davious WhiteAfter spending the past two weeks as a full participant on our roster, he will be returning from an ACL tear.
After being limited in practice on Friday, Allen was listed as questionable. He was wearing a practice jersey and had no sleeves on his right arm. He will only have been in practice for one day if he starts.
Coach Sean McDermott stated Friday that they are in an “hour-to-hour” situation looking at how he will progress through the day. “And as the he goes through these various tests, medically making sure that they’re able to check all the boxes in order to determine if we can continue through the day here.”
Sources told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen that Allen has a right elbow injury to his ulnar collateral ligament. It occurred during the last drive of last weeks’ loss to the New York Jets. He hasn’t missed a game since 2018, when his right elbow was hurt by a UCL.
Keenum’s start will be his first with Bills since he was acquired in an offseason trading with the Cardinals. Cleveland Browns. This season, he has been active in games that were out of control.

Case should play if Josh is able to, and Case needs Case to lead the offense.
Allen’s absence could mean that the offense, which hasn’t scored a passing touchdown in six quarters in the past, might change. However, big overhauls are not likely if Keenum begins.
“I mean, Josh always wants to be there. “There’s no time like the present to have backup,” center Mitch Morse said. “It’s possible. If that’s how we go, we have tremendous confidence in Case. We hope he has faith in us.
