Josh Allen is listed at QB on the Buffalo Bills roster checked September 20, 2026. The official source lists the roster status as Active roster (ACT).
Reading this profile
The details below are dated roster facts. Roster status, practice participation, and game-day availability are different; this profile does not turn one into another.
Career background expanded October 2, 2026.
How Josh Allen reached Buffalo
Allen’s route to the Buffalo Bills began at Reedley College, where he played in 2014, before moving to Wyoming for 2015–17. Buffalo selected him seventh overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. That junior-college-to-Wyoming path helps explain why his college label alone does not tell his development story.
From rookie season to MVP
The change between Allen’s first and third NFL seasons is visible in his passing numbers. In 2018 he threw for 2,074 yards, 10 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. By 2020 those figures were 4,544 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Both lines are regular-season totals; they should not be mixed with playoff production.
His 2024 MVP season combined 3,731 passing yards and 28 passing touchdowns with 531 rushing yards and 12 rushing scores. He also received credit for a touchdown on a receiving play. Buffalo finished 13–4 and won the AFC East, and Allen received the league’s Most Valuable Player award for that season.
Why passing yards tell only part of his story
Allen’s 2024 line illustrates the distinction: 28 passing touchdowns were one part of 41 total touchdowns, with rushing and receiving scores accounting for the rest. Readers comparing quarterbacks should keep those categories separate before combining them. The player statistics hub and the dated season tables on this page provide the numerical context; the career milestones here are fixed historical reference points, not a prediction of his next performance.

Regular-season records. Totals use each recorded season once, even when team splits and a combined row are both shown. Rates are recalculated from the counted totals. A dash means a value is missing or cannot be calculated reliably; these records do not establish complete career coverage. The current-season row is as of the update time above and can differ from the season statistics section, which adds up box scores through the latest recorded final.
