Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is considered week to week with an elbow injury he suffered in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Houston Texans, head coach Sean McDermott announced Monday.

"We'll see," McDermott said when asked if Allen can play against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Allen is dealing with an injury to the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, and while it's not considered a major issue, his MRI has been sent to renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrew for a second opinion, according to Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The rookie was forced from the game late in the third quarter and was replaced by Nathan Peterman, who threw for a touchdown but also helped seal Houston's victory with two interceptions, including a pick-6.

Allen had 80 passing yards and 20 rushing yards before exiting.

The Bills brought in veteran Derek Anderson last week and he may see game action if Allen is forced to sit against Indianapolis.
