News

  • Lands on IR

    The Bengals placed Allen (hand) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: As expected, Allen heads to IR to open up a roster spot ahead of Week 2. The 29-year-old broke his hand and suffered a hamstring strain during Sunday's win over the Vikings and will be sidelined for at least three weeks.

  • Likely headed to IR

    The Bengals plan to place Allen (hand) on injured reserve, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Allen broke his hand and suffered a hamstring strain during Sunday's win over the Vikings and is expected to miss the next three games. The Bengals haven't officially placed him on IR yet, but the move is almost certain, as they will need to open up a roster spot ahead of Week 2.

  • Lands in Cincinnati

    Allen agreed Wednesday with the Bengals on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Allen, who spent the last seven years in Atlanta, will bolster Cincinnati's safety depth in the short term. The 29-year-old has put forth quality fantasy seasons before -- he had 90 tackles in 2016 and 85 tackles in 2019 -- but he saw a sharp decline in production last year, finishing with just 25 tackles in 12 games.

  • Released by Falcons

    Allen was released by Atlanta on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Falcons also released defensive end Allen Bailey, with the moves freeing up a total of $10.75 million in much much-needed salary cap space for the team. Allen, who is coming off a 2020 campaign in which he logged 25 tackles and two picks in 12 games, will now look to catch on with a team looking to bolster its free safety depth.

  • Secures INT of Brady in finale

    Allen, who registered five tackles, one pass deflection and an interception during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Buccaneers, closed out the 2020 season with 25 tackles, five pass deflections and two INTs in 12 games.

    Analysis: After missing 13 games in 2018 because of an Achilles tear, Allen proved capable of overcoming a late-season concussion to suit up for 12-plus contests in a second straight campaign. The veteran safety's two interceptions matched his total from a season ago, but an average of 2.1 tackles per game depleted his utility in IDP formats. He remained an integral defensive contributor by starting each time he was active this season, fielding an increased workload of 56.1 snaps per game after Damontae…read more

  • Ready for Sunday's contest

    Allen (concussion) is active for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen will return to the lineup after a two-week hiatus, and he's set to start at free safety. The 29-year-old doesn't have much fantasy value, however, as he's produced just 18 tackles, four pass breakups and an interception over 10 games this year.

  • Questionable for Week 16

    Allen (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Allen missed the past two games due to a concussion. After logging full participation in practice both Thursday and Friday, he seems to have a decent shot to return for a showdown with Patrick Mahomes and company.

  • Starts week limited

    Allen (concussion) was labeled as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The defensive captain has been ruled out for two consecutive games, having suffered a concussion in the second half of a Week 13 loss to New Orleans. Allen also missed time in September with an elbow injury, placing the 29-year-old at a total of four missed games this season. Sharrod Neasman is in line to record a third straight start at free safety if Allen is unable to rally in time to face Kansas City on Sunday.

  • Ruled out for Week 15

    Allen (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen remains in the concussion protocol, per D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The defensive captain will miss his second straight game, and his fourth game of the season, as he works to attain full clearance.

  • Remains sidelined with head injury

    Allen (concussion) did not participate during Wednesday's practice session, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: The defensive captain missed his third game of the season Week 14, having suffered a head injury during a divisional loss to the Saints in Atlanta's preceding outing. Allen remains in concussion protocol, and he's been labeled a DNP in four consecutive practice sessions. There will have to be clear improvement to his status if Allen is to pass league protocols in time for a Week 15 home game against Tampa Bay.

  • Won't play in Week 14

    Allen (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen was concussed in the second half of last week's loss to the Saints and will miss at least one game as a result of that injury. Sharrod Neasman is the favorite to start at free safety in Allen's place after replacing him last week, while Allen will set his sights on passing the league's five-step concussion protocol in time to suit up in Week 15 against Tampa Bay.

  • Remains in concussion protocol

    Allen (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Allen played 50 defensive snaps before being forced to exit Atlanta's Week 13 loss to New Orleans, collecting a total of three tackles. The Falcons' secondary did not fare particularly well during the divisional loss, surrendering two TD passes to Taysom Hill after he failed to throw even one over his first two career QB starts Weeks 11 and 12. Sharrod Neasman stepped in at free safety to finish out the game, and it appears it will be either him or Isaiah Oliver to serve as the replacement Week…read more

  • Day officially done

    Allen (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Week 13, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It's now confirmed that Atlanta will be without its starting free safety for the remainder of the contest, leaving Sharrod Neasman as the fill-in at the position. Allen ended his day with three tackles, and he will now have to pass through the NFL's concussion protocol before being cleared to suit up for another game.

  • Being checked for head injury

    Allen is being evaluated for a possible head injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against New Orleans, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen's midgame injury forces Sharrod Neasman into action at free safety, a clear downgrade with the 29-year-old replacement having yet to start a game over five NFL seasons. Atlanta's secondary will aim to keep the contest within reach as long as Allen is unavailable. The defensive captain departed the contest with three tackles to his ledger.

  • Records fourth-quarter INT in win

    Allen collected one tackle, adding two pass deflections and an interception for a 19-yard return during Sunday's 34-27 win against Denver.

    Analysis: The Broncos offense had a chance to close Atlanta's lead to one possession when it took over from its own 15-yard line at the 9:36 mark of the fourth quarter, but Allen intercepted sophomore signal-caller Drew Lock on the very first play of the drive. With his lengthy return, Allen set up the Falcons to bolster the lead two plays later by virtue of a four-yard Todd Gurley TD romp. The impressive Week 9 performance provides Allen with his first takeaway of the 2020 campaign after he registered…read more

  • Full-go during Wednesday's session

    Allen was a full participant during Atlanta's practice session Wednesday, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: During Sunday's intra-divisional loss, Allen made his first appearance since exiting Atlanta's Week 2 loss to Dallas with a hyperextended elbow. He played a season-high 97 percent of the defensive workload against Carolina's 20th-ranked scoring offense, collecting four tackles as Atlanta surrendered its lowest opponent point total of 2020 (23 points). With Damontae Kazee (Achilles) having been shut down for the remainder of the season, expect Allen to play a more every-down role than…read more

  • Ready for Week 5

    Allen (elbow) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Atlanta's secondary will get both of Allen and Keanu Neal (hamstring) back Week 5, though both safeties were limited in Friday's practice. While looking to secure the Falcons' first win of 2020, Allen will focus on containing Teddy Bridgewater and the Panthers.

  • Able to log limited practice

    Allen (elbow) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Allen and Keanu Neal (hamstring) were both able to practice on a limited basis, so both starting safeties are on the upswing health-wise after failing to practice at all last week and sitting out Atlanta's loss to the Packers on Monday. While getting back on the practice field at all is a step in the right direction, Allen will be hoping to raise his practice participation in the coming days to help assure his availability for Sunday's clash with Carolina.

  • Unavailable for Week 4

    Allen (elbow) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Packers, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Allen will miss a second straight game after sitting out of practice all week. Starting safety Keanu Neal (hamstring) has also been ruled out, so expect Damontae Kazee and rookie Jaylinn Hawkins to assume starting roles while Sharrod Neasman rotates in.

  • 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

    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.

    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.

    Allen had nine tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers.

    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.
