Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills host the Philadelphia Eagles at Highmark Stadium for a Week 17 matchup. Buffalo is looking to stay hot, currently riding a four-game winning streak.

At 11-4, Buffalo has already clinched a playoff spot, but is looking to win the AFC East, sitting behind the 12-3 New England Patriots. The Bills are looking to win the division for the sixth straight season.

As of now, DraftKings places them as 1.5-point favorites over the 10-5 Eagles, who have won their past two games and have already clinched the NFC East title. However, an update on Allen may have a major effect on the outcome of the game.

On Tuesday, Bills head coach Sean McDermott revealed that Allen wouldn't participate in walk-throughs due to a foot injury. That immediately called into question whether he'd be available against the Eagles.

However, it appears the quarterback has taken a step in the right direction. On Wednesday, the Bills announced an updated injury report, listing Allen as a limited participant.

Allen has been one of the biggest contributors to Buffalo's success this season. In 15 games, Allen has completed 296 of 425 passes for 3,406 yards, 25 touchdowns, 10 interceptions and a 103.3 passer rating. He's also rushed for 552 yards and 12 touchdowns on 105 carries.

With him under center, the Bills have produced one of the NFL's most effective offenses. Going into Week 17, they rank fourth in points per game (28.9) and total yards per game (373.1).

Set to play the Eagles on Sunday, the Bills don't need to announce Allen's official game status until Friday. Kickoff is 4:25 p.m. ET, airing on Fox.
