It was Jacksonville's lone sack of the afternoon as Tyrod Taylor had an efficient day leading the Texans offense. Allen recorded only 2.5 sacks in eight games last season before going down with an injury, but he's off to a strong start in 2021.

The Jaguars activated Allen from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen spent roughly a week clearing the league's health and safety protocols, and he can now return to team facilities and participate in practice. As such, the 2019 first-round pick can be considered fully on track for the Sept. 12 season opener against the Texans.

The Jaguars placed Allen (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen won't be eligible to suit up for Monday's preseason matchup against the Saints as a result of his placement on the COVID list. His next chance to play will come Aug. 29 against the Cowboys. The 2019 first-round pick was limited to just eight appearances last season due to a knee injury.

Allen (knee) is healthy heading into training camp, Cole Pepper of News 4 Jacksonville reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen missed eight games during the 2020 season, including the final six contests, due to a knee injury. He finished with 2.5 sacks after notching 10.during his rookie campaign. The Jaguars produced just 18 sacks last season, and they're counting on Allen to provide a boost to the pass rush now that he's fully healthy. With offseason additions of free-agent CB Shaquill Griffin and rookie second-round pick CB Tyson Campbell, the secondary could provide some more time for Allen to get to the quarterback in 2021.

Allen (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Doug Marrone said Monday that the 23-year-old will miss "considerable time" after suffering the knee injury, so it's no surprise to see him shift to injured reserve. Allen will be eligible to return for the Dec. 20 matchup with Baltimore, but he may require additional time to recover from the injury. Rookie K'Lavon Chaisson is primed to step into the starting role in his absence.

Coach Doug Marrone said Monday that Allen avoided ligament damage in his knee but will miss "considerable time," John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marrone didn't elaborate on the nature of Allen's injury, but he made it sound like an IR stint could be in the works. The Jaguars won't rush their star defensive end back with the playoffs out of reach, so rookie K'Lavon Chaisson figures to get an extended look as a starting defensive end.

The Jaguars believe Allen avoided a serious knee injury, but he'll have further tests Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen is still expected to miss some game time, but he may avoid an IR stint and return after just a couple of weeks. The 2019 first-round pick is enduring a bit of a sophomore slump with just 2.5 sacks through eight games after racking up 10.5 through 16 games last season. If tests reveal that he indeed will be required to miss games, K'Lavon Chaisson is expected to start at defensive end.
