Buffalo Bills' OTAs move into Phase 2 without any Josh Allen sightings

It seems like only yesterday when quarterback Josh Allen stylishly strolled into the Orchard Park facility for the first day of Buffalo Bills' voluntary OTAs, but Phase 1 is already complete.

With two weeks in the books, the Bills have moved into Phase 2, inching closer to actual football activity.

While Phase 1 consisted only of "meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation," the subsequent three-week period permits on-field workouts that "may include individual or group instruction and drills." Team drills, however, are not permitted until Phase 3, which makes up the final four weeks of the nine-week offseason program.

Allen did not appear to be present as Phase 2 opened. Mitchell Trubisky looked like he was holding down the QB1 role as the Bills shared "exclusive photos" from this week's OTAs on the team's official website.

There's no reason to be alarmed by Allen's presumed absence as it's rare for a veteran to be there for every day of voluntary OTAs workouts as "practices" (with 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills) don't begin until Phase 3.
