Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had to briefly leave his team’s Week 2 game against the New York Jets after suffering a nose injury.
The injury occurred on a designed quarterback running during which Allen tried to carry the ball up the middle. He appeared to inadvertently get hit in the face by a Jets tackler while he went to the ground.
Below is a look at the play that left Allen injured.
Allen immediately motioned he had to come off the field after the injury. He removed his helmet and jogged to the sideline, where medical staffers began working on his nose.
Mitch Trubisky came into the game to replace Allen. He completed his lone pass to Josh Palmer for a 32-yard gain.
Allen was able to return to the game at the start of the second quarter, with gauze stuffed into his left nostril. He missed just two plays after being injured, with the Bills PR adding the quarterback was dealing with a bloody nose.
Allen was able to play the remainder of the first half after returning from injury. He completed 5 of 9 passes for 56 yards during the second quarter and helped lead Buffalo to 10 points in the frame.
