Allen has been released by the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Allen missed all of last season after suffering a knee injury in Week 1, but his release also comes after he signed a lucrative four-year extension with Pittsburgh in 2014. Now a free agent, Allen's absence further ensures the Steelers will address the cornerback position through the draft.

Allen (knee) finished the season on injured reserve.
EDGE Analysis
Allen played in just one game this season, totaling six tackles (three solo) in Week 1. Assuming he is healthy next season, he may find himself behind William Gay and Antwon Blake, who is an unrestricted free agent, on the depth chart, which would limit his fantasy value in IDP formats.

Allen (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Ralph Paulk of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen hasn't been able to play since Week 1, so his questionable status is certainly an improvement over previous weeks. That being said, Allen will likely fill-in as a third or fourth corner back if he plays, so his fantasy value will likely be limited in IDP leagues until he can regain a starting role.

Allen (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen hasn't been able to play since Week 1 and at this point, seems to be a major question mark for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. More information should be available later in the week, but until Allen is fully cleared to play IDP owners may want to steer clear of the 26-year-old for now.

Allen (knee) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Cardinals, the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Steelers will be without a number of key members of the regular defense, including Allen, Will Allen (ankle), Ryan Shazier (shoulder), and Jarvis Jones (hip). Without Cortez Allen, Brandon Boykin and Doran Grant are in line for some snaps at cornerback.

After practicing in limited fashion this week, Allen remains in the questionable category, so a wait-and-see approach is in order from a fantasy perspective.

Allen is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Allen hasn't been able to play since the opening week of the season, however it appeared as if he would be able to suit up against the Chargers after he was listed as a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday. He will likely be a game-time decision Monday.

EDGE Analysis
He was a full participant Friday, but it's possible that he aggravated the knee issue. Consider him questionable for Monday night's game.
