Bills coach Sean McDermott told reporters on Thursday that quarterback Josh Allen won't play in the preseason finale, against the Buccaneers. It will be, as noted by Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, the first time Allen hasn’t played in the preseason.

Josh Allen will not play on Saturday when the Bills take on the Buccaneers in their final preseason game of the year. While Joe Burrow keeps putting himself in harm's way in hopes of avoiding a slow start to he season, Allen coming off his first MVP award and sixth straight trip to the playoffs, is safely watching his team play from the sideline.

The plan for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen ahead of their preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has been revealed. The Bills and Buccaneers will clash on Saturday but Allen will not feature, which in a way, is a twist. Head coach Sean McDermott announced that decision on Thursday.
