Won't play Sunday
Allen (elbow) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Allen is nursing a hyperextended elbow sustained during Atlanta's loss to the Cowboys in Week 2. Though coach Dan Quinn previously stated that he doesn't expect Allen's injury to require a long-term recovery, the defensive captain will be forced to miss at least one contest.

Sits out Wednesday's session
Allen (elbow) did not participate during practice Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: The defensive captain was forced to exit during the second quarter of Sunday's loss to Dallas after playing 19 snaps, but coach Dan Quinn said Monday that he does not expect Allen to be on the shelf for an extended period. It is unclear whether Allen is anticipated to be in the lineup Week 3 against Mitchell Trubisky and the Bears, but a practice appearance Thursday or Friday may hint at his availability for a matchup against the NFL's 29th-ranked pass offense.

Injury not considered severe
Coach Dan Quinn stated that Allen (elbow) does not have what he expects to be a long-term injury, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: The 28-year-old safety played 19 defensive snaps Sunday during a 40-39 loss to Dallas, but he was forced to an early exit with a hyperextended elbow and proved unable to make it back on the field. His return date has not yet been identified by the training staff, but it's a relief to a struggling Falcons secondary that Allen's absence is not expected to be prolonged. Atlanta so far ranks 31st in pass defense on the young season, with 744 yards allowed through the air.

Exits contest Sunday
Allen (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Dallas, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: The specifics of the injury remain unclear, however, he was forced to leave the contest in the second quarter. He'll likely receive further evaluation during halftime before the medical staff makes the final call. As long as Allen is sidelined, Sharrod Neasman is in line to receive the bulk of the depth snaps at safety.

Week 1 role reduced
Allen did not record a tackle while playing 40 percent of the defensive snaps during Sunday's 38-25 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: The Falcons entered the regular season with a plan to frequently deploy the team's top three safeties in Allen, Keanu Neal, and Damontae Kazee, but Allen was the clear odd man out in the opener. Head coach Dan Quinn explained that Allen's reduced usage was because of the Seahawks' heavy utilization of two-tight end sets, as Damontae Kazee and Keanu Neal played 100 percent and 82 percent of the defensive snaps, respectively. Week 2 brings a matchup against a Cowboys offense that just lost its…read more

All clear Wednesday
Allen (ankle) wasn't listed on the team's injury report Wednesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Allen was nursing a minor ankle injury during the late parts of training camp but appears ready to go. Now healthy, the veteran is expected to handle an important role in the team's defense at free safety for 2020.

Nursing minor injury
Allen is battling a minor ankle injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Allen will have over a week to get fully healthy ahead of Sept. 13's season opener against Seattle, so it wouldn't be surprising for the Falcons to take a cautious approach to his return to practice. The veteran safety is once again slated for a key role in Atlanta's secondary.

Practicing fully
Allen (shoulder) has resumed participating in padded practices during training camp, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: The veteran safety toughed his way through a late-season shoulder injury and eventually underwent surgery in January, but he was able to complete a full 16-game slate for the first time since 2016. Allen recovered from surgery as anticipated, so the six-year veteran should be on track to remain a staple in the Atlanta secondary in 2020.

Recovery still on track
Allen (shoulder) said Thursday that he's "right on schedule" with his rehab, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Allen is recovering from shoulder surgery undergone in January, and while an official timetable for his recovery has yet to be disclosed, it's certainly good news that the 28-year-old has avoided any setbacks thus far. He's in line to make the shift from safety to nickelback in 2020, which puts him in line to once again play a key role in the Falcons' secondary.

Improving on injury front
Coach Dan Quinn said that Allen (shoulder) is making progress in his recovery from January shoulder surgery, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Allen started all 16 games for the Falcons in 2019 after an injury-shortened 2018 campaign, and he put forth one of his best pro campaigns in the process. The 28-year-old defensive back obliterated his previous personal best in pass deflections by recording eight, and his 85 tackles were the second most he's ever registered since entering the league as a fifth-round draft choice in 2014. Now confirmed to be on a positive trajectory following his offseason procedure, Allen is expected to return…read more

Undergoes shoulder surgery
Allen has undergone surgery to address a shoulder injury he played through during the end of the 2019 season, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The details of Allen's injury remains undisclosed, but his recovery timetable is expected to span multiple months. To the 28-year-old's credit, he was able to log a full 16-game slate despite playing through shoulder pain down the stretch, and his presence was key in Atlanta's pass defense coming together despite losing Keanu Neal (Achilles) to another early season injury.

Durable after injury-plagued 2018
Allen accounted for 84 tackles, eight pass deflections and two interceptions, while playing in all 16 of the Falcons' regular-season games.
Analysis: After Keanu Neal went down with a devastating early-season injury for a second consecutive year, Allen's performance at safety became all-important for a depleted Falcons defense. The six-year veteran delivered, suiting up in 15-plus games for the fourth time in five years while setting a new personal best in passes defended, as well as the second-best mark of his career in tackles. Allen is a key reason for the Falcons' improvement from 28th to 22nd in pass defense between 2018 and 2019, as he…read more

All clear for Sunday
Allen doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Allen was upgraded to a full participant for Friday's practice session, so this news isn't surprising. Now that the veteran is officially ready to play, he's expected to handle his normal starting role as the team's free safety for Week 17.

Hobbled Thursday
Allen (shoulder/knee) put in a limited practice session Thursday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Allen came into Week 16 with a shoulder problem but must have picked up a knee issue during the game. He's been limited in both practices this week and will likely look to tough it out Week 17 against the Buccaneers.

Clear for Sunday
Allen (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Allen was a limited practice participant all week, but the shoulder issue won't impact his availability for Week 16. The 28-year-old should serve in his usual starting role versus Jacksonville.

Nursing shoulder issue
Allen (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Allen dealt with knee and oblique injuries earlier in the month, and now he's bothered by a shoulder condition. The sixth-year safety should be able to play Sunday against the Falcons as long as he doesn't miss a practice, but Kemal Ishmael is in line to start if Allen can't go.

Ready to go
Allen (knee/oblique) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Allen logged a trio of limited practices this week, but he's nonetheless been cleared to suit up for Sunday's divisional contest against Carolina. The 27-year-old stands to draw his usual start at free safety in Atlanta's secondary.

Practices in limited fashion
Allen worked as a limited practice participant Wednesday due to knee and oblique injuries, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Allen played all but a handful of defensive snaps during last Thursday's loss to the Saints, so it's unclear when he picked up the injuries. The fact the 27-year-old is starting off the week practicing in some capacity leaves him a good chance of suiting up Week 14.

Totals nine tackles
Allen had nine tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: The nine tackles set a season high for Allen as he continues to start and play an every-down role. The 27-year-old has 64 tackles (40 solo) and one interception through 11 games.

Records pick in Week 11 road win
Allen compiled six total tackles and an interception during Sunday's 29-3 win against the Panthers.
Analysis: The 27-year-old safety was limited in practice last week due to a knee issue, but he was able to rally and log his 10th consecutive start in a matchup against divisional foe Carolina. His interception of Kyle Allen shortly before the end of the first half snuffed out a potential Panthers scoring drive, and the veteran Allen made a heady move by lateraling to teammate Desmond Trufant to keep the play alive and gain an additional 16 yards on the return. The upcoming Week 12 opponent provides a…read more
