  • Agrees to massive five-year deal

    Allen and the Jaguars agreed to terms Wednesday on a five-year, $150 million contract, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Officially gets franchise tag

    The Jaguars have officially placed their franchise tag on Allen ahead of Tuesday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • To be tagged

    The Jaguars are expected to place the franchise tag on Allen by Tuesday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Allen will play out the 2024 season on a one-year, guaranteed $24 million contract if the Jaguars indeed place the franchise tag on him, and a long-term deal isn't agreed to by mid-July. The 2019 first-round pick broke out in a big way with 66 tackles (43 solo), 17.5 sacks, one interception and two forced fumbles in 17 regular-season games last season, and he would immediately become one of the top available free agents on the market were Jacksonville allow him to walk.

  • Racks up 17.5 sacks

    Allen finished the 2023 regular season with 66 tackles (43 solo), 17.5 sacks, one interception and two forced fumbles in 17 games.

    Analysis: The 2019 first-round pick approached the campaign with 17 combined sacks across the previous four years, but he eclipsed that total last season as he tied for second in the NFL with 17.5. It was a contract year for Allen, and the 26-year-old is poised for a significant payday this offseason, though he may have to settle for the franchise tag if he and the Jaguars are unable to agree on a long-term deal.

  • Third in NFL in sacks

    Allen recorded six tackles (five solo) including three sacks in Sunday's 26-20 win versus the Panthers.

    Analysis: Allen's masterpiece in Week 17 brought his season sack total up to 16.5, better than everyone in the league except for T.J. Watt and Trey Hendrickson, both of whom have 17.0 going into the last week of the regular season. Allen is making a strong case for a huge second contract and will have at least one more chance to add to that case in Week 18 at Tennessee.

  • Interception in loss

    Allen recorded seven tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks, and also intercepted a pass and deflected another in Monday's 34-31 overtime loss to Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Allen was once again able to get to the quarterback in Week 13, producing at least a half-sack for the third contest in a row. The highlight of the game for him came in the third quarter, though, when he was able to intercept a pass thrown by Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd. The interception was only Allen's second of his career through five seasons with Jacksonville.

  • Has another multi-sack outing

    Allen recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.5 sacks, in Sunday's 24-21 win at Houston.

    Analysis: Allen tallied two-plus sacks for the fourth time this season and secured the second double-digit sack season of his career in Week 12. He's already had a career year with six games to play, so he projects as a high-upside IDP play.

  • Two sacks in Week 8 win

    Allen registered five tackles (three solo) including two sacks in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Both of Allen's sacks came in the second half on Mitch Trubisky, who subbed in for Kenny Pickett (ribs). Allen has played in at least 80 percent of defensive snaps in three straight games and his nine sacks on the year ranks second in the NFL behind Danielle Hunter (10). Allen is just 1.5 sacks from surpassing his career-high in his rookie year and will get a chance to hit that mark after the bye in Week 10 against the 49ers.

  • Good to go

    Allen (shoulder) is active Sunday against the Texans.

    Analysis: Allen was forced out of the team's Week 2 loss to Kansas City and was questionable throughout the week for Sunday's contest against Houston. However, after logging a limited practice Friday, the team's 2019 first-round selection will play, which is good news for the Jacksonville defense.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Allen (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Houston, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: After being forced out of Week 2 versus Kansas City with a sprained shoulder, Allen seems truly questionable for Week 3. If he can't go, K'Lavon Chaisson figures to see more opportunities on the edge.

  • Quick recovery expected

    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.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Leaves with injury

    Allen exited Sunday's game against the Chiefs early with a shoulder injury, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Allen recorded one tackle before suffering the injury. His exit will leave the team down one of its starting outside linebackers, while also opening up extra work for Shaquille Quarterman.

  • Monstrous production in Week 1

    Allen recorded 10 tackles, including three sacks, in Sunday's 31-21 win at the Colts.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Absent from injury report Wednesday

    Allen (undisclosed) was not on Jacksonville's injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Allen temporarily stepped away from practice late in August, but it looks like he's back in time to start in Week 1 at the Colts. The 2019 first-rounder has not posted double-digit sack totals since his rookie season despite playing a full 17 games last year, so there's heavy pressure to perform as he enters a contract season.

  • Stepping away from practice

    Allen (undisclosed) was excused from practice Monday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Allen is expected to return later in the week but it's not clear why he needed to step away. The Kentucky product should be one of the team's starters at outside linebacker once again this season.

  • Forces strip-sack in win

    Allen recorded six tackles (three solo), including one sack, and a forced fumble during Sunday's 31-3 win against the Texans.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Notches seven tackles in Week 10

    Allen finished Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Chiefs with seven tackles (four solo).

    Analysis: Allen and Foyesade Oluokun each recorded seven stops in the contest to tie for the team lead. Allen tied his season-high mark in the category, as he also tallied seven tackles against the Eagles in Week 4. He has only three sacks this season, so he's currently on pace to finish with fewer than the 7.5 sacks he recorded last year.

  • Tallies third sack

    Allen recorded seven tackles (three solo), including one sack, during Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Allen notched his third sack and his highest number of tackles this season in Week 4. The linebacker also lined up on all but eight of the Jaguars' 82 defensive snaps Sunday, marking his fourth straight game playing at least 80 percent of the team's defensive snaps.

  • Two sacks in win

    Allen recorded three tackles (two solo), two sacks and a forced fumble during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Fifth-year option picked up

    The Jaguars exercised Allen's fifth-year contract option Thursday.

    Analysis: Allen is now set to receive a guaranteed salary of $11.5 million in the 2023 season and figures to be a key piece in the Jaguars' pass rush over the next two years. The No. 7 overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft had somewhat of a bounce-back campaign this past year coming off a very disappointing second season in Jacksonville, netting a career-best 71 tackles to go along with 7.5 sacks and one interception over 16 games in 2021.

  • Delivers two sacks in finale

    Allen had four tackles (three solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 26-11 win against Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Allen played 89 percent of the defensive snaps and finished the season on a strong note with his first sacks since Week 9. Overall it was a disappointing campaign for the 2019 first-round pick, as he totaled 71 tackles (46 solo), 7.5 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 16 games. The overall quality of the defense around him means more attention from opposing offenses, so Allen could have a tall task again for his fourth season in Jacksonville unless the unit receives an influx of…read more

    Allen (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.

    Analysis: Allen landed on the COVID list last week and was expected to miss two games since he tested positive and is unvaccinated, but the updated league protocols mean he can return for Week 17. The 24-year-old has 60 tackles, 5.5 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 14 games this season.

    Allen was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday after testing positive for the virus, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Allen is unvaccinated, per Mark Long of the Associated Press, meaning he'll miss Weeks 16 and 17 while going through the health and safety protocols. K'Lavon Chaisson and Jordan Smith should see more run at outside linebacker in the meantime for Jacksonville.

    Allen (shoulder) returned to log a full practice Thursday.

  • Does not practice

    Allen (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Allen was held out of Wednesday's practice after playing his lowest defensive snap share (54 percent) of the season in Week 14's loss to the Titans. The linebacker has not missed any games so far this season. Backup Lerentee McCray would be next in line to play if Allen is unavailable for Sunday's game against Houston.

  • Racks up 10 stops

    Allen had 10 tackles (four solo) and one forced fumble in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Allen had an unusual double-digit tackling performance as a defensive end, due in large part to the fact that San Francisco's offense opted to run the ball 42 times with the game well in hand. Still, it was yet another solid fantasy performance for Allen, who remains a high-end option in IDP formats heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Falcons' vulnerable O-line.

    Allen had eight tackles (all solo), a sack, an interception and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 9-6 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old played 78 percent of the defensive snaps and was a consistent presence Sunday as he got the better of quarterback Josh Allen. The young defensive end led the Jaguars in tackles for good measure and also grabbed the first interception of his career. Allen now has 39 tackles (27 solo) and 5.5 sacks through eight games in 2021.

    Analysis: It was Jacksonville's lone sack of the afternoon as Tyrod Taylor had an efficient day leading the Texans offense. Allen recorded only 2.5 sacks in eight games last season before going down with an injury, but he's off to a strong start in 2021.

  • Moves to injured reserve

    Allen (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Coach Doug Marrone said Monday that the 23-year-old will miss "considerable time" after suffering the knee injury, so it's no surprise to see him shift to injured reserve. Allen will be eligible to return for the Dec. 20 matchup with Baltimore, but he may require additional time to recover from the injury. Rookie K'Lavon Chaisson is primed to step into the starting role in his absence.

    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.

    Analysis: 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.

    The Jaguars believe Allen avoided a serious knee injury, but he'll have further tests Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Allen is still expected to miss some game time, but he may avoid an IR stint and return after just a couple of weeks. The 2019 first-round pick is enduring a bit of a sophomore slump with just 2.5 sacks through eight games after racking up 10.5 through 16 games last season. If tests reveal that he indeed will be required to miss games, K'Lavon Chaisson is expected to start at defensive end.

    Allen (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

    Analysis: 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.

    Analysis: Allen has missed two games but looks set on returning to action Week 7. The second-year defensive end recorded seven tackles and two sacks through the first four contests, and rookie K'Lavon Chaisson has filled in while Allen has been sidelined.

    Allen (knee) won't suit up in Sunday's game against Detroit, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Allen drew a questionable tag this week after only suiting up in practice on a limited basis. It will be the second straight game missed for the Kentucky product, who has two sacks this campaign already. In his stead, look for rookie K'Lavon Chaisson to take on an increased role for Week 6.

    Allen (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen wasn't able to suit up against the Texans last week -- the first missed game of his career -- but it looks as though the star defensive end has a fair shot to retake the field versus Detroit. The 2019 first-round pick has two sacks through four appearances this season.

    Analysis: Allen's knee injury kept him out of game action for the first time in his career last week against the Texans, but the pass rusher has taken a step in the right direction after being unable to practice in the lead-up to last week's absence. Consider Allen more likely than not to suit up Sunday against the Lions, but it's best to monitor his practice participation as the week unfolds to be sure.

    Analysis: Allen will miss his first game since being selected in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The Kentucky product has been solid this season with two sacks through four games, and he'll miss out on an appealing matchup against Deshaun Watson, who has been sacked 16 times this year.

    Allen (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game at Houston, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old didn't participate at practice Wednesday and Thursday, and he wasn't seen during the portion of practice available to the media Friday. Allen has two sacks through four games, and his potential absence would be a big loss for Jacksonville's defensive front.

  • Knee injury pops up

    Allen (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: This is the first we're hearing of a knee injury for Allen, though he missed a Wednesday practice earlier in the season with a calf injury and didn't wind up on the final injury report that week. Allen's practice participation should be monitored ahead of Sunday's clash with the Texans, as he's a key piece on the Jacksonville defense with two sacks and seven quarterback hits through four games.

  • Tallies another sack

    Allen had two tackles and a sack during Sunday's 33-25 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: The 2019 first-round pick didn't record a sack through the first two games of the season, but he now has sacks in back-to-back contests. Allen has only seven total tackles, so he'll need to be more involved beyond the pass rush to be a viable IDP option.

  • First sack of 2020

    Allen had two solo tackles and one sack during Thursday's 31-13 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Allen had accounted for three quarterback hits on the year heading into Thursday's contest, and he managed to chase down Ryan Fitzpatrick in the second half for his first official sack of the season. The second-year pro doesn't have much help in Jacksonville's pass rush, so he may have difficulties matching last year's 10.5 sack total, but he has a favorable matchup in Cincinnati on deck for Week 4.

  • Ready for Week 2

    Allen (calf) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Tennessee, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.

    Analysis: Allen logged a DNP/LP/FP practice slate this week, and it looks as though he's fully recovered from the calf cramps that caused him to leave the season opener against Indianapolis early. The second-year pro should handle a full workload Sunday, making him a viable option in IDP formats.

  • Sidelined Wednesday

    Allen (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen was forced to exit Sunday's win against the Colts due to calf cramps, but coach Doug Marrone said he expects the second-year pro to return to practice Thursday. If Allen is indeed able to resume handling practice reps without much delay, he'll be trending in the right direction to suit up against Tennessee in Week 2.

  • Recovering from calf cramps

    Allen is expected to sit out Wednesday's practice due to a calf issue, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Allen was removed in the second half of Jacksonville's Week 1 win over the Colts after experiencing some calf cramping. Before leaving, the second-year edge rusher totaled two tackles (one solo) over 46 defensive snaps. Coach Doug Marrone downplayed the calf concern, saying that he expects Allen to return to practice Thursday. Assuming that's the case, Allen should be in good shape to handle a full workload in Sunday's game at Tennessee.

  • Primed for starting role

    Allen (shoulder) is poised to start at defensive end in 2020 following the departure of Calais Campbell, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville reports.

    Analysis: Campbell has been the heart and soul of the defense since joining Jacksonville in 2017, but Allen is set to take over that role after the veteran was traded to the Ravens. Allen played in all 16 games and had four starts as a rookie, and he recorded 44 total tackles and 10.5 sacks despite mostly working in a rotational role. The 22-year-old was nursing a shoulder injury at the end of the regular season, but he was able to play in the Pro Bowl and tally one sack.

  • Practices in limited capacity

    Allen (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Allen was forced out of Week 15's win over the Raiders due to a stinger, so it's encouraging to note that he isn't being held out of practice entirely. The rookie first-round pick will have two more opportunities to participate without limitations ahead of Sunday's game in Atlanta.

    Analysis: Allen had three tackles and a sack before suffering the injury during the first half. Dawuane Smoot should work in an increased role as a rotational defensive end in the meantime.

  • Just two tackles in loss

    Analysis: The report surfaced late in the fourth quarter, and Allen didn't return to the contest. Whether he's officially placed in concussion protocol remains to be seen, as the Jaguars may have to play Week 14 against the Chargers without him.

  • Full practice Friday

    Allen (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Allen (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Allen apparently sustained the injury during Sunday's loss to the Titans, as he played a season-low 23 defensive snaps. The fact the 22-year-old is participating in practice this early in the week should give him a solid chance of suiting up Week 13.

  • Pops up on injury report

    Allen was listed on Tuesday's injury report with a knee injury.

    Analysis: Allen recorded a season-low 43-percent snap share during this past Sunday's loss to the Titans, and his practice status will likely be monitored as the week progresses. If he's unable to shake the affliction by Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, the Jaguars' pass rush would take a major hit since the rookie leads the team with eight sacks.
