Allen announced his retirement from pro football Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Even though he just turned 29 back in October, Allen has decided to hang up his cleats. His five-year career was complicated by serious injuries, including a knee issue that kept him out for the entire 2020 season. However, he came back for the 2021 season and started in 16 games, including the Rams' victory against the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.

The Saints worked out Allen (calf) on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen signed with the Browns in April after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Rams. He sustained a calf injury during training camp, which caused him to be placed on injured reserve and subsequently released with an injury settlement. Allen appears to be healthy and is attempting to catch on with a team in need of depth at center. The Saints are one of those teams after starting center Erik McCoy sustained a groin injury in Sunday's loss to the Eagles, and he is expected to be on the shelf for 6-to-8 weeks.

The Browns released Allen (calf) from IR with an injury settlement Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was placed on IR early in the week due to a calf injury, and he'll now be free to seek work elsewhere once he's healthy.

The Browns placed Allen (calf) on injured reserve Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen signed with the Browns earlier in the offseason after spending the first six years of his career with the Rams, but it now appears that he's dealing with a calf injury that's landed him on IR. Unless Allen is able to reach an injury settlement with the Browns, he'll miss all of Cleveland's 2024 campaign.

The Browns signed Allen on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen spent the first six seasons of his career with the Rams but was released in a cap move earlier this offseason. He has 50 games -- 32 starts -- of experience and gives Cleveland some valuable depth on the interior of its offensive line. He should compete with 2022 seventh-rounder Dawson Deaton for top backup duties behind starting center Ethan Pocic.

The Rams released Allen on Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen, a 2018 fourth-round pick, has spent his entire NFL career with the Rams and was a key part of the team's efforts in winning Super Bowl LVI. He inked a three-year extension with the team ahead of the 2022 season, but cutting Allen now saves the Rams roughly $4.9 million in cap space.

Allen has now fully recovered from a calf injury, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was placed on injured reserve in December but is now healthy once again and participating in OTAs. The 27-year-old appeared in seven games last season and should have the opportunity to start during the upcoming campaign.

Allen is now slated to miss the remainder of the season as a result of the strained calf he suffered Monday night against Green Bay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen departed the Rams' Week 15 contest versus the Packers on just the second play from scrimmage with what has since been revealed as a season-ending calf strain. In the 303-pounder's absence, Oday Aboushi stepped in at right guard while Coleman Shelton slid over to center.

Allen (calf) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Allen got banged up on the opening drive and went to the locker room for further evaluation. This is the latest injury for a Rams offense that's as banged up as any in the league.

Allen (thumb) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was sidelined during both of the Rams' previous two contests due to a thumb issue, but he's since practiced in limited fashion across every session prior to this weekend's matchup versus Seattle and should return to his usual starting role at center.
