Rotowire
Hines-Allen recorded two tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks and a forced fumble during Sunday's 10-6 win at Tennessee.
The Titans were trying to get off a hail-mary attempt from midfield on the last play of the first half, but Hines-Allen turned the corner around left tackle JC Latham and crushed Will Levis, forcing a fumble that Tennessee was fortunate to recover. He'll be looking to add to his season sack total in Week 15 versus the Jets.

Jaguars' Josh Hines-Allen: Logs sack versus Colts
Rotowire
Hines-Allen logged three tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Jacksonville's win over the Colts on Sunday.
Hines-Allen spent the majority of the week in the concussion protocol but ended up having a solid outing for the Jaguars. The 27-year-old will look to continue to add to his sack total as the season goes on after having only recorded a pair of QB takedowns throughout his first five appearances.
Hines-Allen has cleared the concussion protocol and will play Sunday against the Colts.
Hines-Allen suffered a concussion during the Jaguars' Week 4 loss to the Texans, but he has progressed through the league's five-step protocol and won't have to miss a game. The 2019 first-round pick has registered 12 tackles (six solo) and one sack through four contests.

Jaguars' Josh Hines-Allen: Logs DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Hines-Allen (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
The Jaguars' top edge rusher suffered a concussion during the team's Week 4 loss to the Texans, so it's no surprise that he didn't practice Wednesday. If Hines-Allen is unable to clear concussion protocol by the time of Sunday's contest, expect Myles Cole to see additional reps with Jacksonville's first-team defense.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Agrees to massive five-year deal
Rotowire
Allen and the Jaguars agreed to terms Wednesday on a five-year, $150 million contract, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Jacksonville is about a month removed from placing the franchise tag on Allen, who tallied a franchise-record 17.5 sacks last season, but the team's stated goal has always been to negotiate a long-term contract with the two-time Pro Bowler. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Allen's new deal includes $88 million guaranteed, while the franchise tag would've had him play out the 2024 season on a salary of just over $24 million. Allen looked convincing as one of the league's elite pass-rushers in 2024, in which he also logged 66 tackles (43 solo), one interception and two forced fumbles across 17 regular-season appearances. He'll come off the board as one of the top players at his position in IDP formats in 2024 drafts.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Officially gets franchise tag
Rotowire
The Jaguars have officially placed their franchise tag on Allen ahead of Tuesday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline.
Allen receiving the franchise tag has been long expected, and is now official. The 2019 first-round pick is coming off a true breakout campaign, with a career-high 17.5 sacks in 2023, to go with 66 tackles (43 solo), one interception and two forced fumbles. He and Jacksonville still have until mid-July to negotiate a long-term deal, but if Allen believes he can replicate similar production in the 2024 season, he may be comfortable betting on himself with the hopes of hitting the open market next offseason as a true star at one of the NFL's most sought-after positions.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Quick recovery expected
Rotowire
Allen is considered day-to-day due to a shoulder sprain suffered in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
That's good news for the Jaguars and Allen, who is one of the team's most productive players on defense. However, his status during practice will be worth monitoring in the days ahead leading up to the team's Week 3 matchup with the Texans.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Monstrous production in Week 1
Rotowire
Allen recorded 10 tackles, including three sacks, in Sunday's 31-21 win at the Colts.
Allen got a blazing start Sunday to what he hopes will be the second double-digit sack season of his career. Some of his sack production could be chalked up to inexperience from rookie Indianapolis quarterback Anthony Richardson (knee), who took four total sacks in Week 1, but Allen and his counterpart Travon Walker are obviously going to be a force to be reckoned with in 2023.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Forces strip-sack in win
Rotowire
Allen recorded six tackles (three solo), including one sack, and a forced fumble during Sunday's 31-3 win against the Texans.
Allen logged his third sack in the last four weeks, forcing a fumble as he brought down Houston signal-caller Davis Mills early in the second quarter. This also marked the Jaguars' only takeaway in this massive blowout. Allen also paced Jacksonville with 74 percent of defensive snaps played since the team benched its starters early in the second half. Allen has now accumulated six sacks over 16 games this season, and he should have a good chance to get after Titans quarterback Joshua Dobbs in Week 18, as Tennessee has allowed the seventh-most sacks in the league with 45.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Two sacks in win
Rotowire
Allen recorded three tackles (two solo), two sacks and a forced fumble during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Colts.
After a modest performance in the season opener, Allen got back on track in Week 2. He strip-sacked Matt Ryan at the end of the first quarter, but Indianapolis was able to secure the loose ball. The fourth-year pass rusher took down the veteran quarterback again on a third-down play at the beginning of the second quarter. If healthy, Allen will likely be a double-digit sack candidate for the 2022 campaign.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Will miss extended time
Rotowire
Coach Doug Marrone said Monday that Allen avoided ligament damage in his knee but will miss "considerable time," John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Marrone didn't elaborate on the nature of Allen's injury, but he made it sound like an IR stint could be in the works. The Jaguars won't rush their star defensive end back with the playoffs out of reach, so rookie K'Lavon Chaisson figures to get an extended look as a starting defensive end.

Jaguars' Josh Allen: Knee injury ends day
Rotowire
Allen (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
Allen was initially pegged doubtful upon sustaining his knee injury at the 8:52 mark of the third quarter, but he was subsequently downgraded to out. With Jacksonville trailing 17-3 entering the fourth quarter, rookie K'Lavon Chaisson will be counted on in a more integral pass-rush role for the remainder of the contest.
