QB Josh Allen to sit out Saturday’s preseason opener
Before Thursday’s final practice of training camp at St. John Fisher University, head coach Sean McDermott informed the media that QB Josh Allen, entering his fourth year as Buffalo’s starting QB, will be held out of the preseason opener. Last year, Allen also sat out the preseason opener and played in just one preseason game, the preseason finale vs. the Green Bay Packers. He played in and started three preseason games during the 2019 season, and saw time in three games (one start) during the preseason of his 2018 rookie season.
