Allen finished Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers with four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks. Allen got to Justin Fields for a one-yard sack late in the second quarter. Allen made life difficult for Fields, with the former registering four of the Broncos' six quarterback hits. Allen will look to make his presence felt in Week 3 against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers.

Allen recorded 60 tackles (27 solo) including five sacks, with one pass defensed and one forced fumble over 17 contests during the 2023 season. After signing a three-year contract with Denver last offseason, Allen made an impact when he got the opportunity. His 60 total tackles were a career high, and the 26-year-old defensive end played a key role in the Broncos' improved defense. Allen should continue to be an important part of Denver's pass rush in 2024.

Allen (hand) has been deemed out ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Allen will finish the 2022 campaign with four consecutive absences after sustaining a hand injury in the Week 14 loss to New England. Over 13 games, the fourth-year defensive end recorded 47 tackles, 5.5 sacks and eight passes defended, and he's now one of five Week 1 starting defenders either ruled out or on IR for the regular-season finale. In Allen's stead, expect Michael Dogbe and Manny Jones to continue playing increased roles opposite J.J. Watt.

Allen (hand) will not suit up for Sunday's game versus the Falcons, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports. Allen will now miss his third game in a row due to a left hand injury sustained against New England in Week 14. The 25-year-old defensive end also underwent surgery for this issue Dec. 14, and with the Cardinals already eliminated from playoff contention, it's unclear if he'll return for the regular-season finale against San Francisco on Sunday, Jan. 8. With Allen still sidelined, expect Jonathan Ledbetter to once again step up into a starting role opposite J.J. Watt.

Allen (illness) will be active for the Cardinals' Week 14 matchup with the Patriots on Monday Night Football, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports. Allen was added to the injury report Saturday with an illness, but it now appears as if the defensive end will be ready to go for Monday's contest. The 25-year-old has produced 45 tackles, including 4.5 sacks, while also deflecting seven passes over 12 games this season.
