Josh Allen not at Bills OTAs for clear reason, full list of players absent

The Buffalo Bills were without their franchise player at their latest round of spring practices this week.

A concern? Not so much… more of a very understandable reason.

Quarterback Josh Allen was not in attendance, but it makes sense. Allen got married over the weekend to actress Hailee Steinfeld.

Allen was not alone in missing OTAs but regardless the practices are voluntary. No one is required to attend. Another name once again not in Orchard Park was running back James Cook as he searches for a new contract with the team.

In addition, other names were injured and showed up but did not participate.

The full list can be found below:
