After another disappointing end to the regular season, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen underwent minor surgery on his injured right foot.
As the season progressed, Allen’s foot injury was added to the list of other aches and pains in his body. He injured his foot in Week 16 and held on until the Bills were eliminated in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs. Although the injury was not serious, it was enough for the team to arrange for Allen to undergo surgery.
The surgery was to correct an avulsion of the fifth metatarsal in Allen’s right foot. Allen’s expected recovery time is 8-10 weeks, which means barring any setbacks, his recovery time will be around mid-April. That means he should have a strong offseason and shouldn’t miss any time with the team.

Buffalo’s offseason has been quite eventful already. As news broke that Allen was injured and required surgery, head coach Sean McDermott was fired. The team has since promoted offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach and introduced his new position at a press conference on Thursday.
During the press conference, Allen was in attendance and offered his thoughts on how the season ended and the aftermath of the loss to Denver.
“If I played another game in Denver, we probably wouldn’t have a press conference right now,” Allen told reporters. “We’re probably not going to make a change. We’re probably getting ready to play another game, honestly.”
“I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say I’m still sick to my stomach that the season is over.”

After a season in which they reached the AFC Championship Game and were one step away from the Super Bowl, Buffalo took a step back in 2025, which ultimately led to McDermott being eliminated after nine seasons.
In 2024, Allen won his first MVP award and led Buffalo to the Super Bowl. Allen and the team have seen a decline this season, not a major one, but enough to force owner Terry Pegula to make changes.
