Josh Allen Confirms He Broke Nostril However Will not Want Surgical procedure: ‘It Provides Character’

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Payments have been good by way of the primary 4 weeks of the 2025 NFL season, however there have been bumps and bruises alongside the way in which — actually. 

Within the Payments’ Week 2 win over the New York Jets, Allen briefly left the sport on account of a bloody nostril. Allen really shared some information about his nostril when he spoke with Mark Sanchez on FOX Sports activities’ “Rearview” podcast.

“My nostril is ok. I broke it up, like on the precise bone. Not any of the cartilage, so I haven’t got to have surgical procedure,” Allen stated. “It is just a bit chip in it, you realize? Is that ‘A Star is Born’ with Girl Gaga and Bradley Cooper, the place they do this factor? I might really feel somewhat, somewhat indentation right here in my nostril.”

As Allen ran his finger down his nostril and imitated the scene he was mentioning from “A Star is Born,” he stated he is OK with taking some blemishes alongside the way in which. 

“It is good man. My complete factor with marks on counters or flooring, or chips on one thing — it provides character,” Allen stated. “It tells a narrative. So that is simply one other a part of my story.”

Allen advised reporters within the days after struggling the damage that so long as he might breathe, every little thing can be “good.” However he is needed to make some changes as a result of damage. He is worn a transparent visor within the Payments’ final two video games, one thing that he hadn’t finished since his school days at Wyoming. 

One factor Allen is not doing, although, is placing make-up on to cover the damage as he took a dig at Sanchez.

“I’ve simply let it trip,” Allen stated. “And Mark, do not deceive your listeners. We all know you place make-up on for each different day issues, too. Not simply, ‘Oh, I’ve obtained to placed on my make-up for TV.’ We get it. It is OK.”

And the nostril damage definitely hasn’t affected Allen’s humorousness, both. He recalled a narrative of the primary time he met Sanchez throughout his look on “Rearview.”

“I used to be sitting out on the Monarch Seashore Membership, and also you see this man, Rico Suave, popping out of the freaking ocean, placing his hair again, all of the freaking mothers and ladies Mark Sanchez popping out,” Allen stated. “It is identical to, ‘This freaking man.’

“That was again in your prime. That was, I do not know, seven, eight years in the past, most likely? Now that I obtained to know you, I used to be like, ‘Oh, man, I actually do not like that man now.'”
