Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is on track to make a full recovery from a broken bone in his right foot in time for the team's offseason workouts in April, according to Bills general manager Brandon Beane. Allen had surgery shortly after the Bills' playoff loss to the Denver Broncos, where he struggled with four turnovers. The 30-year-old quarterback has been rehabbing in California with his pregnant wife, actress Hailee Steinfeld.

Why it matters

As the Bills' franchise quarterback, Allen's health and availability for the upcoming season is crucial to the team's Super Bowl aspirations. His injury and recovery process have been closely watched, and his return to full participation in the offseason program will be an important milestone as the team transitions to a new head coach, Joe Brady.

The details

Allen broke a bone in his right foot during the Bills' Week 16 victory over the Cleveland Browns, but did not miss any games. He had surgery shortly after the team's playoff-elimination loss to the Denver Broncos, in which he committed four turnovers. The Bills' medical staff has been monitoring Allen's recovery, and he is expected to be 'full-go' once the team begins offseason workouts in April.
