Josh Allen BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This week Josh Allen is making headlines for multiple reasons both on and off the field. According to ESPN and CBS Sports for the first time in his career the reigning NFL MVP will sit out the entire preseason as Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed Allen will not play in any preseason games including the final preseason matchup against the Buccaneers. McDermott emphasized his responsibility to protect Allen and highlighted that his quarterback looked sharp in training camp and joint practices with Chicago. The decision stands out for its long term significance reflecting Allen's status among today's elite quarterbacks and the value Buffalo places on his health entering his eighth NFL season. Allen maintains the league's longest active streak of 118 consecutive starts—testament to his durability—a narrative that is now drawing even more focus as the new season approaches.

The previous preseason game against Chicago was a disaster for the Bills with a 38-0 loss though Allen and other starters did not play. McDermott's public critique of the team's performance made news and sparked debates across sports talk programs about Buffalo's readiness as they aim for another playoff run.

Off the football field Allen is expanding his brand into the business world in a major way. The Westside Express reports he is partnering with Wonderful Pistachios, the world’s largest pistachio producer, to become the face of a national ad campaign launching this fall. This is a personal family affair as Allen's family has been growing pistachios near Firebaugh since 2021 with plans to unveil their own J-17 pistachio brand in 2026 timed to the opening of Buffalo's new stadium. Allen described the partnership as coming full circle referencing his own agricultural roots and anticipation for the venture.

Adding yet another business milestone Athlon Sports reports that Allen has teamed up with Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum to purchase a Major League Pickleball team an unexpected move that set off a flurry of coverage across business and sports outlets. The collaboration between two of the biggest names in American sports is viewed as a potential game changer for the emerging pickleball scene.

Social media buzzed when a clip went viral of Allen interacting with a young fan during preseason, gifting a ball and a signed jersey in a moment captured by Hard Knocks and widely shared by the Times of India. Allen's easy charisma and relatable off field persona continue to fuel his growing national profile.

No speculation of note surrounds Allen this week—just a cascade of verified big league moves in both business and football as the MVP quarterback prepares to chase another championship for Buffalo.
