When Joe Brady, the new head coach of the Buffalo Bills, was officially introduced to the team, quarterback Josh Allen was seen entering the room on crutches. That image quickly sparked concern among fans, but now those worries appear to have faded significantly very recently.

Although there are still six months before the season begins, injuries are unpredictable, as are recovery processes, which is why supporters felt uneasy after seeing their offensive leader in that condition during the early stages of the offseason program with the franchise this year and across the league as well.

However, as time has passed, there has been significant progress in Allen's situation. Everything suggests he has reached a new level in his recovery, and at this moment, it is perceived as a major step forward, according to Brady and members of the coaching staff monitoring him closely right now.

Joe Brady's comment on Josh Allen's recovery

As mentioned, Joe Brady is fully confident that his player will not be an issue in the coming months. Everything is on track for his return to be at one hundred percent in the weeks ahead if current progress continues without setbacks.

Brady made it clear that he is not concerned about the healing process of the Bills' signal-caller. The surgery was performed to repair a broken bone he suffered in the final games of the 2025 season, an issue that required immediate attention once the campaign concluded.

His full recovery timeline was initially projected at eight to ten weeks, which is why the franchise's new head coach does not feel any anxiety or similar concern that would create stress regarding this particular situation moving forward into organized team activities.

He's good to go."... "The thing about Josh Allen, he got surgery after the season, but he's playing as if you think there's nothing wrong with him. The guy could barely walk, and then he's playing games, and it's not impacting [his play]. He's built differently. And let's hope it continues that way, but he'll be good to go in the offseason.

Joe Brady told NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero at the annual league meeting on Saturday.

Despite not having a strong offensive line throughout last season, Allen managed to extend plays and generate significant production. However, it also contributed to issues with sacks, which often resulted in lost yardage during critical moments of games.

He was even once again, albeit with less intensity, in the conversation for the league's MVP award.

  • 3,668 yards
  • 25 touchdowns
  • 10 interceptions
  • 579 rushing yards
  • 14 rushing touchdowns

Now, during the offseason, he is enjoying his wife Hailee Steinfeld's pregnancy as they await the birth of their first child, something the quarterback himself has expressed brings him great happiness.
