Bills quarterback Josh Allen came out of Sunday’s preseason game late in the first half for a concussion check.
Allen, who started against the Bengals, banged his head hard on the turf after a hit by Carlos Dunlap. He got up holding his head, but still stayed in one play -- a handoff -- before officials stopped the game to get Allen a concussion check.
Allen headed to the locker room a few plays before his teammates did for halftime. Nathan Peterman replaced him.
Allen completed only 6 of 12 passes for 34 yards but got no help from his offensive line. He was sacked five times and hit three others as the Bills finished with minus-5 net passing yards in the first half.
Officials cited right guard John Miller for two false starts and a leg-whip, and Marshall Newhouse had a holding penalty.
UPDATE 5:50 P.M. ET: Allen was cleared of a concussion and returned to the sideline for the second half.
