ESPN insider Adam Schefter was the first to report the news, marking a historic note: this will be the first time in Allen’s NFL career that he does not take part in the preseason.

“We already know what Josh can do. He’s been sharp in practices, and our focus is making sure the team is ready for Week 1 against Baltimore.”

For Bills fans, the news is bittersweet. On one hand, resting Allen reduces the risk of injury in games that don’t count. On the other, questions about timing, rhythm, and chemistry loom large as Buffalo heads into a season with championship expectations.

Still, in the eyes of many, protecting Allen is the right call. The franchise quarterback has already proven his toughness and talent. Now, the Bills are betting that fresh legs and a healthy arm in September matter more than any preseason snap in August.

Buffalo Bills Become First NFL Team to Launch 3-Year Support Program for Released Players
Buffalo, NY – October 5, 2025 In a groundbreaking move that could reshape how the NFL cares for its athletes, the Buffalo Bills have officially launched the league’s first-ever support program dedicated to players who have been released or are no longer able to continue their football careers. The initiative, announced on Saturday, aims to provide career transition guidance, monthly financial support, and mental health counseling for young players leaving the Bills’ academy system or those cut from the main roster. The program will run for three years, giving participants a stable foundation as they begin new lives beyond football. According to team sources, the monthly allowance will cover basic living costs and educational expenses, ensuring that players can focus on retraining and personal growth instead of financial struggle. A Bills spokesperson said the decision reflects the organization’s long-term commitment to human development, not just athletic success. “Football ends for everyone at some point — but life doesn’t. This program is our promise that every player who wore a Bills uniform will never walk alone.” NFL analysts have called the Bills’ move “a model of compassion and leadership”, noting that it sets a precedent other teams will be pressured to follow. The program also includes workshops on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and career coaching, helping former players reintegrate into society with purpose and stability. For a franchise known for its heart and community values, this initiative marks another powerful statement. The Buffalo Bills aren’t just building champions on the field — they’re shaping lives beyond it.
