Josh Allen returns to full participation at practice

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen returned to full participation in Wednesday's practice, overcoming foot, knee, and right finger injuries. Allen had been limited in a Tuesday walk-through but played all 63 snaps in the recent 27-24 victory over the Jaguars. Allen, a former league MVP, recorded 3,668 passing yards with 25 touchdowns and 10 interceptions during the regular season and contributed 273 yards and a touchdown in the wild-card win against Jacksonville.

Kicker Matt Prater also resumed full practice participation, recovering from right quad and calf issues. Linebacker Shaq Thompson joined the injury report as limited due to a neck injury.

Players absent from practice included cornerback Maxwell Hairston, running back Ty Johnson, safety Jordan Poyer, and wide receiver Tyrell Shavers, with Shavers out for the season due to a torn ACL. Several players, including linebacker Terrel Bernard and defensive end A.J. Epenesa, remained limited.
