EDGE Analysis

Allen spent the entirety of the 2015 season recovering from a torn achilles he suffered during training camp, and signed with the Texans in March of 2016 before being released by the team during final roster cuts.

He has recorded 17 tackles (16 solo) and five pass deflections through three games this season.
