The Chiefs released Allen on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was let go to make room for Morris Claiborne on the active roster. The veteran guard will now look for a depth role elsewhere in the league.

Allen agreed to a contract with the Chiefs on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was brought in to provide depth at guard for the Chiefs. He played his first four seasons in Kansas City before spending the last two in Houston.

Allen (undisclosed) agreed to an injury settlement with the Texans and was released from the team's physically unable to perform list Friday, Sarah Bishop of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen landed on the PUP list in May due to an undisclosed injury, though it's possible he could still be nursing the concussion that caused him to miss the final two games of the 2017 campaign. The 28-year-old will immediately become an unrestricted free agent after agreeing to the injury settlement, and he should have a decent market for his services after Allen started 26 games for Houston over the last two seasons.

Allen has been placed on the physically unable to perform list with an undisclosed injury, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen missed time last season due to a concussion but it doesn't appear as though that is the same issue that is preventing him from practicing currently. A starter when healthy, Allen has missed six games over the past two seasons with Houston. Look for Zach Fulton and Senio Kelemete to operate as the starting guard tandem while Allen is out.

Allen (concussion) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Allen will finish the 2017 season with two straight inactives after suffering the concussion in the team's Week 15 loss to Jacksonville. Rookie Julie'n Davenport should receive another start at left tackle for the Texans.

Allen remains the NFL's concussion protocol and is not expected to play Monday against Pittsburgh, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Filling in for Allen at left tackle will be Julie'n Davenport, the rookie lineman from Bucknell. Houston's offensive line has been makeshift all season due to injuries, which has slowed down the rushing attack. Beware if you're counting on a significant contribution out of running back Lamar Miller.

Allen won't return to Sunday's game against the Jags with a concussion, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

In Allen's absence, Chad Slade will likely slot in at right guard.

Allen (knee) was a full participantin practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen injured his knee Sunday against the Seahawks but appears to be fine after practicing in full the past two days. Expect the lineman to suit up for Sunday's divisional showdown with the Colts.

Allen suffered an ankle injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Sarah Barshop of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

As long as Allen is out, Dorian Johnson is likely in line for additional snaps along the Texans offensive line.

Allen (ankle) participated fully in Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen's missed the last two games due to the ankle and appears ready to return this week against the Titans. He'll be of help to an offensive line that's allowed a league-worst 15 sacks.
