ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will likely wear a clear visor on his helmet to protect his nose during the “Thursday Night Football” game against the Miami Dolphins.
Allen suffered a nosebleed at the end of the first quarter of the game against the New York Jets, but only missed two plays before returning to the field with gauze in his nose. He played until several starters were pulled due to the lead in the score.
Although his nose was bruised after the match, Allen commented that he could “breathe, so it’s fine”.
The Bills’ quarterback added that using the visor doesn’t affect much, although he does feel a little more heat. “Your voice also resonates a bit,” Allen commented. “So it’s a little weird.” Allen has not been included in the injury report this week and stated that, although his nose is still a little bruised, “it’s fine”.Yes, we’ll see. We’ll probably use it in the game, just trying to get used to it.

Right tackle Spencer Brown joked on Monday that Allen’s nose made him look like defensive end Joey Bosa and that “it looks great,” while Allen responded that he is “the third Bosa brother in the league.” In his eighth season, 29-year-old Allen hasn’t missed any starts or significant time due to injury since his rookie year. Allen’s streak of 107 consecutive starts is currently the longest active for any quarterback.Yes, I think his nose hasn’t gotten any bigger. I’ve always thought it was fine. I think it still looks good. I think we’re in a good situation.
