Allen (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was initially pegged doubtful upon sustaining his knee injury at the 8:52 mark of the third quarter, but he was subsequently downgraded to out. With Jacksonville trailing 17-3 entering the fourth quarter, rookie K'Lavon Chaisson will be counted on in a more integral pass-rush role for the remainder of the contest.

Allen (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Allen practiced in full Friday, confirming coach Doug Marrone's claim that the 2019 first-rounder is on track to suit up Sunday. He'll make his return after a two-game absence and look to build on his season total of two sacks.

Coach Doug Marrone relayed Monday that Allen (knee) is on track to play Sunday versus the Chargers, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has missed two games but looks set on returning to action Week 7. The second-year defensive end recorded seven tackles and two sacks through the first four contests, and rookie K'Lavon Chaisson has filled in while Allen has been sidelined. While Marrone is optimistic, we'll have a better idea of Allen's progress when practices start up Wednesday.

Allen (knee) won't suit up in Sunday's game against Detroit, Michael DiRocco of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen drew a questionable tag this week after only suiting up in practice on a limited basis. It will be the second straight game missed for the Kentucky product, who has two sacks this campaign already. In his stead, look for rookie K'Lavon Chaisson to take on an increased role for Week 6.

Allen (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen wasn't able to suit up against the Texans last week -- the first missed game of his career -- but it looks as though the star defensive end has a fair shot to retake the field versus Detroit. The 2019 first-round pick has two sacks through four appearances this season.

Allen (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Allen's knee injury kept him out of game action for the first time in his career last week against the Texans, but the pass rusher has taken a step in the right direction after being unable to practice in the lead-up to last week's absence. Consider Allen more likely than not to suit up Sunday against the Lions, but it's best to monitor his practice participation as the week unfolds to be sure.

Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Allen will miss his first game since being selected in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. The Kentucky product has been solid this season with two sacks through four games, and he'll miss out on an appealing matchup against Deshaun Watson, who has been sacked 16 times this year. Rookie defensive end K'Lavon Chaisson is expected to start in Allen's place Sunday.

Allen (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game at Houston, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old didn't participate at practice Wednesday and Thursday, and he wasn't seen during the portion of practice available to the media Friday. Allen has two sacks through four games, and his potential absence would be a big loss for Jacksonville's defensive front.

Allen (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first we're hearing of a knee injury for Allen, though he missed a Wednesday practice earlier in the season with a calf injury and didn't wind up on the final injury report that week. Allen's practice participation should be monitored ahead of Sunday's clash with the Texans, as he's a key piece on the Jacksonville defense with two sacks and seven quarterback hits through four games.

Allen had two tackles and a sack during Sunday's 33-25 loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
The 2019 first-round pick didn't record a sack through the first two games of the season, but he now has sacks in back-to-back contests. Allen has only seven total tackles, so he'll need to be more involved beyond the pass rush to be a viable IDP option.
