Allen had two solo tackles and one sack during Thursday's 31-13 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Allen had accounted for three quarterback hits on the year heading into Thursday's contest, and he managed to chase down Ryan Fitzpatrick in the second half for his first official sack of the season. The second-year pro doesn't have much help in Jacksonville's pass rush, so he may have difficulties matching last year's 10.5 sack total, but he has a favorable matchup in Cincinnati on deck for Week 4.

Allen (calf) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Tennessee, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen logged a DNP/LP/FP practice slate this week, and it looks as though he's fully recovered from the calf cramps that caused him to leave the season opener against Indianapolis early. The second-year pro should handle a full workload Sunday, making him a viable option in IDP formats.

Allen (calf) did not practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was forced to exit Sunday's win against the Colts due to calf cramps, but coach Doug Marrone said he expects the second-year pro to return to practice Thursday. If Allen is indeed able to resume handling practice reps without much delay, he'll be trending in the right direction to suit up against Tennessee in Week 2.

Allen is expected to sit out Wednesday's practice due to a calf issue, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was removed in the second half of Jacksonville's Week 1 win over the Colts after experiencing some calf cramping. Before leaving, the second-year edge rusher totaled two tackles (one solo) over 46 defensive snaps. Coach Doug Marrone downplayed the calf concern, saying that he expects Allen to return to practice Thursday. Assuming that's the case, Allen should be in good shape to handle a full workload in Sunday's game at Tennessee.

Allen (shoulder) is poised to start at defensive end in 2020 following the departure of Calais Campbell, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL Jacksonville reports.
EDGE Analysis
Campbell has been the heart and soul of the defense since joining Jacksonville in 2017, but Allen is set to take over that role after the veteran was traded to the Ravens. Allen played in all 16 games and had four starts as a rookie, and he recorded 44 total tackles and 10.5 sacks despite mostly working in a rotational role. The 22-year-old was nursing a shoulder injury at the end of the regular season, but he was able to play in the Pro Bowl and tally one sack.

EDGE Analysis
Allen had an excellent rookie campaign, as he recorded 44 tackles and 10.5 sacks to live up to his first-round pedigree. It's unsettled how severe the 22-year-old's injury is, but there doesn't seem to be concern about his status for the 2020 season at this time.

Allen (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was forced out of Week 15's win over the Raiders due to a stinger, so it's encouraging to note that he isn't being held out of practice entirely. The rookie first-round pick will have two more opportunities to participate without limitations ahead of Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Allen left Sunday's game at Oakland after suffering a shoulder stinger.
EDGE Analysis
Allen had three tackles and a sack before suffering the injury during the first half. Dawuane Smoot should work in an increased role as a rotational defensive end in the meantime.
