Allen (foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Allen has played through discomfort in his right foot the last two games, a span in which he completed 35 of 54 passes (64.8 percent) for 392 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing 14 times for 44 yards and two TDs and fumbling twice (one lost). After sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday, he returned to a limited session Friday, which was enough for the Bills to clear him ahead of the weekend. It remains to be seen how much, if at all, Allen plays this weekend, but he does have a 121-game starting streak on the line, and based on results this weekend the Bills can climb from their current No. 7 seed in the AFC to either No. 5 or No. 6. Backup QB Mitchell Trubisky is on hand for any reps that don't go to Allen on Sunday.

Coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Allen (foot) will be limited at practice Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Per the report, McDermott said that the QB will be "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Jets, and he'll continue to take it one day at time in the meantime. Friday's final injury report will clarify whether Allen carries an injury designation into the weekend, but in the event that he is active for the Bills' regular-season finale, it remains to be seen how long he'd stay in the game, with the team potentially prioritizing keeping Allen healthy ahead of the postseason. One possible scenario would involve Allen making a cameo Sunday in order to preserve his consecutive start streak, which stands at 121 regular-season contests.
Allen (foot) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Allen was deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, with the QB's absence a day later setting the stage for Friday's injury report to add further context in terms of his status for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. As Week 18 approaches, the Bills are currently the No. 7 playoff seed in the AFC, though either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed are in play for the team. It remains to be seen, though, how Buffalo's coaching staff plans to proceed with Allen this weekend as he continues to manage a foot issue, with head coach Sean McDermott thus far not tipping his hand regarding who will or won't be playing, per Getzenberg.

Coach Sean McDermott noted Wednesday that it looks like Allen (foot) is "moving in the right direction" as Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets approaches, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
That said, Allen won't participate in Wednesday's walk-through. Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com, McDermott didn't provide any updates on who will or won't be playing Sunday. According to Alec White of the team's official site, as Week 18 action approaches, the Bills are currently the No. 7 playoff seed in the AFC and are still in play to be the No. 5 or No. 6 seed depending on how things shake out this weekend.
