Allen (knee) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

Allen (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was able to progress to full practice participation Friday, yet was unable to avoid the questionable tag. Regardless, the 28-year-old appears on track to return to his block-heavy role at tight end for the Patriots after missing the last two games.

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

EDGE Analysis

Allen has not taken the field since Week 10, and is still working to recover from a lingering knee injury. The veteran tight end is primarily used as a blocker in New England's offense, so he won't have fantasy value even when fully healthy.

Allen (knee) was ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was able to practice on a limited basis Thursday but was downgraded to a non-participant Friday. The 28-year-old will miss his second straight game, leaving Jacob Hollister to serve as the Patriots' No. 2 tight end behind Rob Gronkowski.

Allen (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen missed New England's win over the Jets in Week 12 and sat out practice to begin this week, but returned to the field on a limited basis Thursday. Even if Allen is able to suit up against the Vikings on Sunday, he's unlikely to see notable targets with Rob Gronkowski (ankle/back) trending towards playing.

Allen (knee) returned to the practice field Thursday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was unable to suit up in the Patriots' win over the Jets on Sunday, but finally made his return to the practice field Thursday. The fact that Allen was able to return to practice Thursday is a positive sign for his Week 13 availability.

Allen (knee) was not among the participants at Wednesday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing last week's game against the Jets because of the knee issue, Allen has started off Week 13 on the wrong end of the playing spectrum. Unless he can progress to at least limited participation by Friday, there's a good chance he will miss out on a second consecutive game.

Allen (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is the only member of New England's roster to officially be ruled out for Sunday's divisional tilt against the Jets. The veteran tight end was unable to practice in any capacity this week, and will miss his third straight game. With Rob Gronkowski (back/ankle) trending towards suiting up Week 12, Allen's lack of availability is unlikely to have a notable impact on the Patriots' offense.

Allen (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was the only member of New England's roster to not practice Wednesday, and appears to be in danger of missing Sunday's tilt against the Jets. If the veteran tight end is unable to suit up Week 12, the impact of his absence could be mitigated by the probably return Rob Gronkowski (back/ankle), who has missed two straight games and was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
