Josh Allen Injures Elbow, Bills Bring In Nathan Peterman
Josh Allen had to leave Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans after injuring his throwing arm. Nathan Peterman replaced him and promptly led the Buffalo Bills on a touchdown drive.
Allen appeared to injure his elbow after being sandwiched between two defenders. He could be seen trying to shake it off after the next play.
A view of it:

Before the injury, Allen was 10-of-17 for 84 yards on the day with no touchdowns and no interceptions. It was a pretty “meh” day for the rookie.
UPDATE: Nathan Peterman threw a pick-six to hand Houston a win:
