Josh Allen Returns to Preseason Action in Bills Opener
Will Josh Allen play in Buffalo Bills preseason opener vs Carolina Panthers at New Highmark Stadium? Check details · livemint.com

Josh Allen is the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills football team.

He has not played in a preseason game for more than two years.

This Saturday, he will finally play in the team's first preseason game.

The game is against the Carolina Panthers at the Bills' brand-new stadium.

The new head coach, Joe Brady, said every healthy player will get to play.

Josh Allen wants to get used to the new stadium, the pace of the game, and his teammates.

New stadiums can feel different because of the grass, the clocks, and the lights.

Last year, the old coach kept Allen and other starters out of the whole preseason.

The new coach thinks playing now will help the team build good habits before the regular season starts.
