    Bills' Josh Allen Makes Huge Progress in Hand Injury Recovery

    By Colin Miller,

    The Buffalo Bills will look to build off their win in Week 6 when they face the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. They were able to get back on track last week after suffering two-straight losses in prior weeks.

    Although Josh Allen has been active for every game this season, he has been dealing with an injured left hand since Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. Allen has worn a glove on his left hand since suffering the injury. While the injury was to his non-throwing hand, it's still likely a hinderance for Allen when he's holding the football.

    However, now it looks as though Allen is finally making progress in his recovery, as he was seen practicing without the glove on Thursday for the first time since he suffered the injury.

    Regardless of if Allen's hand is healed or not, it hasn't seemed to have impacted his play very much. Through six games, Allen has thrown for 1,160 yards, 10 touchdowns and no interceptions. His quarterback rating of 79.2 is the best of any starter in the NFL this season.

    Allen will also have some more help beginning this week, with Pro Bowl receiver Amari Cooper making his Bills debut against Tennessee. Buffalo traded for Cooper on Tuesday after the offense struggled to establish a true top receiver through the first six games.

    With a fully-healed Allen and a new weapon against the 1-5 Titans, the Bills offense could have one of their best performances of the season on Sunday.
