My overall point is Allen signed a 6 year $258 Million contract, they aren't risking his future over the Vikings game.
This isn't 1985 and players aren't playing for peanuts. Does anyone believe Andy Reid would take that risk?

I think the tua episode is a good example of there being only so much a doctor can do. So much of that assessment depends on the player telling the coach how he feels. Alex smith said as much… he didn’t blame the team but he mentioned he “hid” info so he can get back on the field.
Would Andy do it? Alex smith seems to believe no. I also think Andy is way more conservative about this during the regular season than other coaches might be. Maybe because he has the luxury of being less desperate. I do get that we played mahomes after his leg injury and after the concussion sooner than some of the “experts” may have suggested. However I still feel like what Miami did to tua and arians did to… everybody was pretty egregiously bad. Buffalo doesn’t feel as egregious to me but no, I don’t think Andy plays josh allen knowing this is a regular season game with a playoff position well within their sights
