Allen is scheduled to head to Baltimore and Buffalo on Tuesday, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has appeared to waste no time after getting released by the Patriots on Monday. The veteran tight end recorded 13 receptions and one touchdown in his two-season stint in New England. Allen cannot officially sign with any team until the new league year begins on March 13.

Allen was released by the Patriots on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran tight end was due a base salary of $6.4 million in 2019 which seemed to make this move a mere formality considering Allen had just 13 receptions total in the past two seasons. There's a possibility Allen could return to the Patriots for less money, but with a deep pool of potential replacements either via free agency or the upcoming NFL Draft, the 29-year-old might see a lukewarm response from other teams on the open market.

Allen didn't draw any targets while playing 21 of 72 offensive snaps Sunday in the Patriots' 13-3 win over the Rams in Super Bowl LIII.
EDGE Analysis
As usual, Allen was limited to a blocking role during his time on the field and finished the postseason without any targets. Allen is under contract through 2019 but probably won't be in store for a significant role in the Patriots' passing game even if top tight end Rob Gronkowksi opts to retire over the offseason.

Allen (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's divisional-round playoff game against the Chargers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen will play through a minor knee injury versus the Chargers. Expect the veteran tight end to take rotational snaps behind Rob Gronkowski, and see most of his usage as a blocker.

Allen (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Allen continues to nurse a minor knee injury, and will attempt to play through the issue during Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Chargers. If he's able to go, Allen will take rotational snaps behind top tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Allen finished the 2018 season with three catches on four targets for 27 yards in 13 games.
EDGE Analysis
In his two seasons with the Patriots, Allen has seen limited action in the team's passing game. The tight end's blocking ability is how he earns his keep, but looking ahead, Allen's cap hit is slated to rise to $7.4 million in 2019. That figure will need to be reduced in order for the Patriots to consider retaining the 28-year-old.

Allen (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was limited during Friday's practice due to a minor knee injury, but he'll suit up during the Patriots' regular season finale. Despite logging 37 offensive snaps against the Bills in Week 16, Allen failed to see a single target throughout the contest.

Allen (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was added to Friday's injury report with a knee injury, and was a limited participant in practice. If the veteran tight end is able to suit up Week 17, he could receive a slight uptick in snaps with Jacob Hollister (hamstring) ruled out.

Allen logged 37 of a possible 75 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-12 win over the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
In his two games since returning from a knee injury, Allen has not been targeted. With just three catches on four targets for 27 yards in 12 games overall, the tight end is well off the fantasy radar.

Allen was on the field for three of the Patriots' 62 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Allen's return from a knee injury bolsters the team's tight end depth, but as long as Rob Gronkowski remains healthy, there's not much left for Allen to do in the Patriots' passing game. He was not targeted Sunday.
